(2007)School of Social Work
- Abstract
- Previous reaserch has indicated that the almoners position in the somatic hospital hierarchy is poor. The purpose of this study was to investigate the position of the almoner in the hospital hierarch today, together with what this position is based upon.

In order to get answers to our questions at issue, we interviewed totally 13 persons from the three chosen professional categories, i e four almoners, five doctors and four nurses. Two of the doctors worked at care centres and the other doctors worked in hospitals within the Region Skåne. The interview material was analysed from the concepts of Pierre Bourdieus; field and symbolic capital and by means of ideas from the closing theory. The result of the issue shows that the almoners position in the hospital hierarchy is still poor. This can be explained in terms of the almoners difficulty to guard and increase his terrtory in the field, based upon the fact that the almoner often has to work in several different wards, and therefore only can spend a limited time in each ward. Another explanation could be the almoners lack of "right" symbolic capital in the field ? medical education. (Less)
