Interactions in the patient room system – A spatial sociological analysis

Abstract

This thesis aimed to identify and analyze the formation and characteristics of spaces within patient clinic rooms. Space was defined sociologically as arrangements of objects and living beings (Löw, 2001, p 271) and as a physical territory essential for interactions in King's theory of goal attainment (King, 1981, p. 149).
