Abstract

The mass media is neither an instrument of destruction nor an instrument of progress. Their positive or negative consequences depend on which social forces are used and for what. The power of mass media is manifested in the ability to create one or another image of a medical organization, which can be destroyed by a small detail that even medical experts do not see.The ability to communicate with the patient is one of the most valuable qualities of any medical worker, it depends on the effectiveness of the treatment and diagnostic process, the patient's satisfaction with the help provided to him and the patient's assessment of the professionalism of medical specialists.The purpose of the study is to analyze the occurrence of conflict situations during the interaction of medical workers with mass media.Materials and methods. The research used methods characteristic of medical science: dialectical, systemic-structural approach and content analysis, which made it possible to analyze the legal reality of the conflict between medical workers and the mass media.Results and discussion. It was established that in case of conflict situations between the doctor and the mass media, it is necessary to follow certain tactics. Dialogue with media representatives is built taking into account medical confidentiality.
