JUTA'S SOCIOLOGY FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS
E PRETORIUS, Z MATEBESI & L ACKERMANN
Interaction with patients, their families and colleagues is a core aspect of the daily activities of all healthcare professionals. It is therefore vital for them to have a sound knowledge of why people behave the way they do, why they may behave differently in the healthcare environment and what happens in times of illness and stress. It is also important to understand the external forces that cause the many social problems in South African society and the forces that shape policy decisions relating to healthcare.
