Beschreibung
What is the relevance of sociological theory to current research and contemporary debates in pharmacy practice? In what ways can engaging in social theory contribute to the development of this field? These are some of the questions this book seeks to address.
The use of medicines by patients, interactions between pharmacists and patients, and the organisational and institutional structure of pharmacy are all 'social' phenomena that can be explained and informed by sociological theories.
Ten chapters present theories and concepts of mainstream sociology and medical sociology and apply them to issues for pharmacy practice. The relevance of various theoretical approaches is considered using examples from research in medical and pharmacy practice.
Sociology and Pharmacy Practice is an invaluable tool for pharmacy practice researchers wanting an insight into how sociology can contribute further to the development of their field.
