Health and Quality of Life | The theme focuses on the social conditions, structures and practices that influence the production of health. Specific objects of research are: the trajectories of interactions between bio-psycho-social systems (disease history, life course, etc.); health structures and decisions (resources-operators, health management, risks and errors); the analysis of health outcomes (subjective patient perceptions, quality of life, patient satisfaction). Special attention will be paid to quality of life in the context of chronic and stigmatizing diseases. |
