| Summary: | Since the implementation of the new healthcare reforms, China's healthcare industry has achieved significant development. However, pressing issues such as bypassing primary care for specialist visits, preference for high-level medical resources, passive health awareness, and doctor-patient conflicts remain severe. These problems may be attributed to the lag in the construction of residents' healthcare-seeking culture. This paper provides an in-depth analysis of the concept, structural dimensions, and value functions of healthcare-seeking culture. From the dual perspectives of healthcare value cognition and healthcare-seeking cultural choices, it elucidates the profound impact of healthcare-seeking culture on residents' medical behaviors and the order of healthcare-seeking activities. Addressing the current confusion in residents' healthcare-seeking culture, the paper proposes practical approaches, including implementing a hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system, enhancing public education on healthcare culture, fostering harmonious doctor-patient relationships, and optimizing the allocation of medical resources. The aim is to promote the scientific and rational transformation of residents' healthcare-seeking culture, provide new references for regulating social healthcare-seeking order, enhancing public health outcomes, and supporting the implementation of the Healthy China strategy. |
