In this research, we attempt to assess the extent to which prison inmates use the sick role for secondary gains rather than for acute illnesses. When the division of labor was restructured to include the option of lower levels of care for state prisoners, it was found that their desire for physicians' care decreased dramatically. Although total sick role enactment remained constant when alternative sick call services were made available, most inmates chose to have only symbolic encounters in the health care system rather than consulting with physicians at the sick call.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101166,"journal":{"name":"Social Science & Medicine (1967)","volume":"11 8","pages":"Pages 507-510"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1977-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0037-7856(77)90028-2","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12113653","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In defining the themes of general practice, prominent U.K. practitioners have pointed to a social orientation which distinguishes general practice from other areas of medicine. This loosely defined social orientation appears to include several themes. On the one hand there is an awareness of social relationships, social factors in disease and illness behaviour, and of the social causes of disease, and on the other, a feeling for a responsibility for caring for the social consequences of diseases, for social welfare problems, and for socio- or psychotherapeutic care. An involvement in social care raises certain questions about the role of the general practitioner which have not been explored by those doctors who have discussed this social orientation. At one level there are practical problems of the conflict between the provision of medical and social care and the relationship with other care workers, but at a more basic level there is a fundamental question concerning our socio-political approach to social problems.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101166,"journal":{"name":"Social Science & Medicine (1967)","volume":"11 8","pages":"Pages 485-490"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1977-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0037-7856(77)90025-7","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12113651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
