| Popis: | The concept of roles has been crucial to the theoretical understanding of the construction of the dying process and the subjective experience of dying. Talcott Parsons first outlined the sick role in 1951. Beginning in the early 1960s, the academic literature recognized that those with chronic illness do not fit the criteria for the sick role as Parsons defined it. Since the introduction of hospice and palliative care, a new intermediate role has been constructed by the medical system. This role has been designated the chronic sick role. Formally defining the intermediate role between the sick and dying roles will help alleviate the issue of role confusion and serves to define what is now a gray and liminal phase between sickness and dying. |
