The Concepts of the Sick Role and Illness Behavior1
Sick Role
The sick role was a formulation by Talcott Parsons that posited four institutionalized behavioral expectations that attached to people defined as “sick.” For about three decades, from the early 1950s to about 1980, it was the central focus of many sociologists who studied medical care. It received a large amount of criticism as well as uncritical use and became passé when Parsons's theory fell out of favor and sociology turned toward a more criti…

This paper is based on in-depth interviews with members of Sweden's medical interest groups involved in a national effort to control health care costs. Sweden is faced with escalating costs due primarily to a growing high technology hospital sector. Simultaneously, consumer demand for primary care services and for gerontological care is rising rapidly. The Swedish way of changing the health care system is described and an analysis of the power st…

Factors Leading to Preventable Hospital Admissions
An exploratory study of factors leading to preventable hospital admissions focusing on a medical ward population found a large proportion of patients with preventable illnesses or illnesses sufficiently modifiable to have made admission avoidable. This report presents methods for assessing preventability and some preliminary findings relative to patient and physician failures. Leading patient failures included heavy cigarette smoking, obesity, de…

Health Decisions and Sick Role Variations: An Exploration
Case interviews are used to explore variations in illness behavior and Parsons' role formulation. A decision-making model, focusing on the influence of status and role definers (significant others), produced findings relative to the nature of being well, assignment of a sick status, and illness behavior. While Parsons' formulation describes modal categories when each component is taken alone, his total configuration describes only a minority of r…
