The Group Effect: Social Cohesion and Health Outcomes
ISBN: 9781489983466 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 171 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Sociologists and anthropologists have had a long interest in studying the ways in which cultures shaped different patterns of health, disease, and mortality. Social scientists have documented low rates of chronic disease and disability in non-Western societies and have suggested that social stability, cultural homogeneity and social cohesion may play a part in explaining these low rates. On the other hand, in studies of Western societies, social scientists have found that disease and mortality assume different patterns among various ethnic, cultural and social-economic groups. The role of... Sociologists and anthropologists have had a long interest in studying the ways in which cultures shaped different patterns of health, disease, and ... |

Sociological Practice: Intervention and Social Change
ISBN: 9780387718637 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Slightly more than a decade ago, our text, Clinical Sociology: An Agenda For Action, was published by Plenum Academic Publishers. Since that time (1996), the Clinical Sociology Association has changed its name to the Sociological Pr- tice Association and has merged with the Society for Applied Sociology. This new organization and its joint journal became effective in 2005. Therefore, as we began planning a second edition to our text, we decided it would be only app- priate to change its original title to Sociological Practice: Intervention and Social Change. Intervention to bring about...

Trust and the Health of Organizations
ISBN: 9780306472657 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Leaders are usually held responsible for the trust, health and success of an organization, but it is the culture of organizations that provides the true foundation for these important factors. The leader's personality and skills influence how a trustful environment and working relationship is created, but the organization has a culture, tradition and experience of its own which influences the leader's success. The level of trust in an organization's culture will ultimately determine whether or not it is trustful, healthy and successful.
Based on the interview of current and former chief... Leaders are usually held responsible for the trust, health and success of an organization, but it is the culture of organizations that provides the tr...

After Diagnosis: Family Caregiving with Hospice Patients
ISBN: 9783319298016 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 54 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This brief provides approaches to help family caregivers understand the role of caregiving, its challenges and consequences. Using real life case examples, it illustrates the essentials of family caregiving. The caregiving role can be a source of caregiver stress and can become increasingly burdensome. People are now living longer and acquiring chronic diseases, which makes it necessary to involve caregivers to assist in disability care for longer periods of time, and live out their end-time at home, which means caregivers are more and more needed, especially at the end-of-life. This brief provides approaches to help family caregivers understand the role of caregiving, its challenges and consequences. Using real life case e... |

The Sociology of Community Connections
ISBN: 9789400716322 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Many of our current social problems have been attributed to the breakdown or loss of community as a place and to the fragmentation of connections due to an extreme value of individualism in the Western world, particularly in the United States. Not all scholars and researchers agree that individualism and technology are the primary culprits in the loss of community as it existed in the middle decade of the 20th century. Nonetheless, people exist in groups, and connections are vital to their existence and in the daily performance of activities. The second edition of the Sociology of Community...

The Sociology of Community Connections
ISBN: 9780306486166 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Community is a key concept in sociology. In the last decade, especially with the explosion of electronic communication, the definition of community has changed. There is now a need to define the concept of community and tie it to the various levels of human interaction, from the global to the individual. Currently there are many books that address many aspects of community, but there is a lack of text which "connects" the concept of community with the range of issues from the macro level to the micro level. This book will discuss the rationale for community, the varieties of... Community is a key concept in sociology.

This fifteen-year study drawing on medical histories, physical examinations, and laboratory tests, compared a large sample of Rosetans to inhabitants of two neighboring communities, Bangor and Nazareth, and followed up this research with a sociological study of the three communities. "The lesson the Roseto experience offers American is that the thwarting of their biological need for social cohesion, community and emotional security is doing them tremendous harm--and that they need, urgently, to find distinctly American...
