Therapeutic Conditions and Physician—Patient Interactions
Physician's orientation toward the legitimacy of drug use and their preferred source of new drug information
Activities, Satisfaction, and Problems of Social Workers in Hospital Settings
Comparison of the professional activities, level of satisfaction, and working conditions reported in a 1966 mailed questionnaire survey of over six hundred NASW hospital-based social workers and nearly five hundred NASW social workers who functioned in nonhos- pital settings reveals (a) some notable differences in the configuration of professional ac- tivities (work roles) reported by the two groups, (b) remarkable similarity between the two grou…
The Use of Psychotherapeutic Drugs by Middle-Aged Women
In medical sociology, there is a well-documented concept called which states that symptoms of illness are differentially perceived, evaluated, and acted upon by different kinds of people in different social situations (Mechanic, 1962). A number of measures of illness behavior such as responses to pain, recognition of symptoms, attitudes toward illness, utilization of health facilities, and compliance with medical advice have been demonstrated to …
A Sociological Evaluation of the Watts Neighborhood Health Center
Efforts to involve community residents maximally, in a meaningful way, in policy making, while the university holds the purse strings and the Office of Economic Opportunity has the final say, have led to many organizational problems. In this report one of these problems, intergroup conflict, is described. Illustrations of conditions thought to be necessary for such conflict are presented. Consideration is given to how intergroup conflict has been…

Satisfaction and Dissatisfaction
This paper explores the extent and durability of satisfaction expressed by a group of chronicallyill aged patients and attempts to relate variations to some social, economic and health aspects of life as well as subjective perceptions of these conditions. Optimism is more widespread and durable than expected and seems to be related more to the perception of a given situation than the actual condition
Predicting Non-Compliant Behavior
Ageing, Illness and Dependency
A retrospective study on the prevalence of BP measurement in a general practice was carried out on patients aged 40 or more resident for a year or more during the nine-year period I953-I962 in an immigrant housing estate in a Jerusalem suburb. It was found that European immigrants, generally, had a greater likelihood of having their BP recorded in any year than those from North Africa and Asia. These differences were statistically significant for…
Compliance with Medical Regimens
During the past decade social scientists as well as physicians have shown increased interest in the problem of how differences in doctor-patient relationships1 may lead to variations in compliance2 on the part of patients. As the growing literature attests, there is no dearth of relevant theoretical formulations; however, empirical studies which present data to support existing analyses are relatively sparse. Moreover, little attention has been g…
