Care = organisation + physical labour + emotional labour

James, Nicky·1992·Sociology of Health & Illness

Abstract

The formula‘care = organisation + physical labour + emotional labour' identifies component parts of ‘carework’ as they were observed at a hospice. A comparison between women's domestic carework and that of the hospice nurses is made firstly to clarify the component elements of care and secondly to show how the interrelation and balance of the components differs in the two settings. It is argued that family care has been a model for hospice care but that division of labour in hospices, which replicates hospital labour‐divisions, results in an inflexibility in hospice care which is incompatible with the ‘family’ model. In the final section it is suggested that emotional labour is likely to be increasingly recognised as part of health care but that the concept of ‘total care’ needs to be questioned.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
