- Abstract

The analysis was based on a qualitative approach with nine semi-structured interviews together with professional healthcare counselors in south Sweden. Results have since been analyzed using system theory as theory and symbolic interactionism with Goffman's role theory as a function. The result shows that the counselors themselves took their role as an important complement to other health care services. The counselor, in their perspective, could see the patient from a holistic perspective. They also had tasks that were of a more practical nature, but these tasks were not always as equally important or interesting. Several of the counselors described the role as lonely in a medical context. They also experienced a constant struggle to make themselves visible to others personnel categories in health care. The role was experienced by several counselors as unclear and vague, and there was a desire for clearer frameworks and a clearer delineation of the counselor role for other staff categories. (Less)
