Illness behaviour of some White South Africans.
نویسنده
چکیده
Hierdie artikel handel oor ’n studie van die siekte-gedrag van Blanke persone in die Durban area. Dit blyk dat siekte, waar dit verwys na die ervaring van simptome, meer voorkom as wat algemeen geglo word. Persone konsulteer ’n gesondheidswerker slegs vir 'n klein persentasie van hul simptome en verskil ook in hul interpretasie van, en derhalwe reaksie op, simptome. Siektegedrag word verder beinvloed deur persepsies van die vermoeë van gesondheidswerkers en hul interpersoonlike verhoudings. Om doeltreffende gesondheidsdienste te kan lewer moet gesondheidswerkers kennis dra van die faktore wat siektegedrag beinvloed.
