N: 1. “a making human or humane; assimilation to humanity,” 1753, also humanisation, noun of action from humanize.
2. The valuing of a person simply because of their innate worth as a human.
3. The humanization of social relations: Nourishment for resilience in midlife.
In this chapter, we build a case for the humanization of social relations as a key to resilient adaptations to stress for people in midlife. Resilient adaptation is characterized by three qualities: the speed and thoroughness of stress recovery, the capacity to sustain purpose, and the capacity to attain the kind of psychological growth that reveals a greater maturity of the mind (Zautra, Arewasikporn, & Davis, 2010). We suggest that emotional health and the capacity to be resilient depend on healthy social relationships. When people humanize their social relations, they understand one another as unique individuals with minds, needs and goals, and emotions worthy of attention, and they do not objectify their identities on the basis of some group classification or to fill their own emotional needs. The stronger social bonds that result from humanization are more sustainable, encourage openness to new learning, and speed recovery following social stress. To examine this proposition, we provide some preliminary evidence that the quality of social relations can be improved through greater attention to the interests and perspectives of others.

4. Patient satisfaction is an important outcome domain of patient-centered care. Medical humanization follows the patient-centered principle and provides a more holistic view to treat patients. The COVID-19 pandemic posed significant barriers to maintaining medical humanization. However, empirical study on the relationship between medical humanization and patient satisfaction is clearly absent.
