At the environmental level, it is divided into the dual role of facilitating and inhibiting environments. \u201crewarding\u201d environments included positive psychological attitudes of patients, caring-friendly departmental environment, perceptually rewarding mindfulness environment, and loving family environment. In contrast, \u201cpunishing\u201d environments included patients\u2019 irresponsible attitudes toward themselves, poor care experiences, inflexible management mechanisms, missing incentives. At the behavioral level, there is a dialectical game between constructive and alienating practices. \u201cforward\u201d behaviors included personalized care in the details, respect for patient autonomy, proactive communication and empathy, systemic support and teamwork. Conversely, \u201cbackward\u201d behaviors included mechanized procedures and emotional detachment, disregard for privacy and dignity, systemic issues that exacerbate apathy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Based on the framework of social learning theory, this study constructs a learning trajectory model of humanistic care to explain the synergistic mechanism between cognitive dimension and environmental system and its two-way shaping of caring practice behavior. The study finds that there is a \u201cblack box\u201d phenomenon in which the theory of humanistic care is clear but the practice of humanistic care is confusing in the cognitive dimension, and in the environmental dimension, there are systematic limitations in the traditional biomedical model. Based on the above two-dimensional analysis, this study proposes an optimization path combining cognitive explicit cultivation and environmental support system reconstruction, which points out the direction for breaking through the dilemma of humanistic care practice.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2025.1601951","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,11]],"date-time":"2025-06-11T05:14:37Z","timestamp":1749618877000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Analyzing
