Personal compatibility of physician and patient

The article discusses and details the interpersonal compatibility of the physician and the patient in the course of their interaction, which is the basis of medicine, the platform on which the treatment process is based. An analysis of the concept of compatibility has been carried out, which is presented in domestic and foreign psychological literature. The analysis suggests that personal compatibility is a function of satisfaction with collaborative action, since it is initially necessary to interact, followed by compatibility, the result of which is rebuilt in satisfaction. By analyzing the statements of domestic and foreign psychologists, compatibility can be imagined in the form of an ideal combination of qualities and senses, resulting in the maximum result in carrying out various actions. Thus, personal compatibility is important in all types of social relationships, but it plays a special role in the long-term relationship between the doctor and the patient. The study concluded that the compatibility of the physician and the patient, as well as the building of an informed relationship between them, is significantly influenced by the presence of similar personal characteristics. The similarity of the personal characteristics of the doctor and the patient allows achieving the best result in their joint activity. 1 A problem statement A modern psychologist a specialist working in a dynamic, developing environment, providing assistance in various fields, including health care. According to modern research, the practicing psychologist has such an important characteristic as tolerance to uncertainty, which is especially needed in our reality [1]. With a relevant approach to health, a person visits a doctor on a regular basis and chooses a specialist for further treatment with whom it will comfortably cooperate for a long time. In such cases, the question of psychological compatibility is acute. The problem of psychological compatibility is complex and not well researched in psychology, as it lacks a complete and complete theory of compatibility, which in turn affects all levels of the study, from terminology to the development of interoperability models in different activities. The term compatibility is synonymous with psychological compatibility, cohesion, a community of interests, coherence, non-conflict.

One of the first founders of the classification of personal compatibility is M. Shaw. In 1971, in his classification, he identified types of personal compatibility. Compatibility is mainly related to the realm of interpersonal relationships, whether between individuals or within groups. The interpersonal compatibility of people with each other, i.e. in the diaspora, manifests itself in the mutual acceptance of partners in communication and joint activities and is based on the similarity of principles, social foundations, interests, the optimal combination of features of psychological processes, and characteristics [2]. The study of interpersonal compatibility between doctor and patient in the course of their interaction is relevant because the relationship between doctor and patient is the basis of medicine, the platform on which the process of treatment is based. The doctor-patient relationship has a significant impact on the course and success of treatment. Since a doctor cannot refuse an unsuitable patient, he must be able to build a relationship with him that does not adversely affect the treatment process [3, 4, 5]. One generally accepted definition of compatibility cannot be found. In a thorough analysis of the concepts of compatibility, we take more detailed definitions and interpretations. The term compatibility in psychological dictionaries is interpreted as follows: 1) The compatibility of people in a particular group a social characteristic of a group by psychological parameters, which is reflected in the ability of the members of that group to coordinate their activities and to rationalize relations among themselves in any common collective action [6]; 2) People’s compatibility with each other mutual acceptance of partners in communication and collective action, originating in a similarity of principles, social attitudes, interests, motives, needs, a peculiarity for both psychological and physiological reflexes, and other important personality features vital for interaction between individuals [7]. Based on the statements of K.K. Platonov, compatibility is defined in its psychological essence as interacting by following a certain pattern of behavior, as expressed by its characteristic actions. The process of compatibility in the introduction of mental and social processes is very complicated, as compatibility can be not only favorable or negative, but it’s also possible to manifest all various types and degrees [8]. On the basis of the statements of the Doctor of Psychological Sciences A.L. Svetzicki, compatibility according to its psychological essence should induce individual subjects of the group to concerted activity, which is based on their ideal connection or combination [9]. Based on the statements of V.V. Boyko, A.G. Kovalev, and V.N. Panferov, compatibility is characterized by such a common set of qualities of each individual member of the group, when their efficiency reaches the maximum value [10]. Based on the judgments of Russian psychology, the concept of compatibility is interpreted on the basis of the characteristics of the interaction of several subjects, which determine the maximum permissible result under certain conditions with minimal energy consumption for participants of a given group. Compatibility determines the basis for the sympathy, conformance, and association of the psychological and physiological characteristics of each individual [11]. In foreign psychology, approaches that explain compatibility are divided into needs and behavioral. As this separation shows, compatibility depends on the degree to which needs are met together, as well as the cohesion of each individual of a particular group. American psychologist M. Shaw distinguishes two types of interpersonal compatibility: ICTP 2021 SHS Web of Conferences 113, 00063 (2021) https://doi.org/10.1051/shsconf/202111300063
