The social value of fluphenazine decanoate.

The Medical Research Council (England) conducted a double blind placebo controlled trial of fluphenazine decanoate as a form of maintenance therapy for schizophrenic out-patients. The results clearly demonstrated the clinical and social value of the drug in minimizing positive psychotic features, in preventing relapse and thereby alleviating distress amongst the parents of single patients and the wives of married patients. The drug allows the patients to fulfill normal social role expectations.

Personal and social value concerns of Scandinavian elderly: a multivariate study.

This study is a descriptive account of the results obtained by a set of three attitudes scales, as part of a larger study on the value concerns of two samples of Scandinavian elderly, one Danish and the other Norwegian. The measuring instruments were the Cantril Self Anchoring Scale, the Life Satisfaction Index-A and Rosencranz-McNevin's Semantic Differential. The results indicate that both samples are equally preoccupied with personal security rather than economic concerns. The Danish sample perceives greater congruence between life goals and achievements than the Norwegians. The Norwegians see their young as deviant from the modal ideology of the adult world, while the Danes perceive the young as drifters, but functionally efficient. No correlation was found between personal life satisfaction and acceptance of youth, a finding at variance with results obtained by the authors among previous U.S. Samples of aged.

Health services system in Hong Kong: professional stratification in a modernizing society.

A characteristic of modernizing societies is the coexistence of modern and traditional professions that claim to perform the same functions for the society. As a result of differential support by the dominant classes and their social values, and by the academic and the political authorities, the modern profession occupies a higher stratificational ranking than the traditional profession. In order to struggle for survival and to compete for more social-political and economic resources, the traditional profession advocates a rational revival, i.e. a rationalization of its social organization and technical contentmin this paper, I have illustrated these generalized statements by analyzing and comparing the profession of modern medicine with that of Chinese medicine in the modernizing society of Hong Kong, These two types of professional services are coexisting in the pluralistic health context of Hong Kong, but the former enjoys greater power, higher prestige and more economic resources. The state of modern medical dominance may be due to its connection with the dominant social value of science and to its support by the "higher" classes and the university and the government in Hong Kong. In recent years; however, there has emerged a revivalistic movement in the realm of Chinese medical care. In significant part, this may be influenced by developments in the People's Republic of China.

[Anorexia nervosa - a familial socialization deficit].

This study is based on the hypothesis that there is a connexion between the condition of Anorexia nervosa and factors of family socialization. The empirical examination of this assumption was carried out using the hospital records of 51 female patients treated for Anorexia nervosa in the Psychiatric University Hospital Göttingen from the period of 1967 to 1973. The family structure was investigated under the following context: 1) family constellation, 2) socioeconomic factors, 3) interactional patterns. At first sight these families have a normally disturbuted family constellation, a stable and accepted social status together with traditional social values. However, disturbed parental and matrimonial relationships in fluence the family attitudes in such a way as to enhance these behavior patterns associated with high performance and pseudo-solidarity. This complex family structure effects the anorexic patients such that--in an interactional view--an inbalance of ego identity arises and a adolescence crisis occurs.

Changes in the values of dental students and dentists over a ten-year period.

This paper investigates value changes in dental students and dentists over a ten-year period through a cross-sectional study of all dental students at the University of Minnesota in 1966 and 1976, and a ten-year longitudinal study of a class of dental students who entered in 1967. Findings in both studies showed significant differences in values over the ten-year period, but they could not be attributed to the dental school experience. Findings also showed that the values of the dentists in the longitudinal study changed significantly over the ten years from 1967 to 1977, to resemble those of dental school freshmen in 1976. Comparisons of the two studies indicated that changes in social values and the social pressures of professional role development could have accounted for the findings.

Evaluation of health care quality by consumers.

Ideological and conceptual issues arising out of the involvement of consumers in health care quality determination are identified. Historically and currently, criteria and procedures for quality review and assessment have reflected the values and interests of the professional providers of health care. This perspective restricts the role of the consumer to that of either a nonparticipant or a data source, at best. If the social values and merits for health care provision of consumer involvement in quality determination are to be realized, then this perspective will need to be modified, and our knowledge base of consumer criteria of health care quality will need to be enlarged. Although the perspectives of probiders and consumers are thought to the antagonistic, they may not, in fact, be so. Some suggested areas of needed research, necessary to policy development and implementation, are offered.
