System Today

The key players in sports health care in the '90s will be physicians, athletic trainers, and physical therapists. The social and economic forces affecting our health care delivery system today must be considered by these professions as they assume their roles in sports health care. Athletic trainers are qualified to treat athletes in any setting but are best used in the traditional environment. Physical therapists should reemphasize the rehabilitation of the sick, infirm, and disabled and should take the lead in providing care for disabled athletes. Physicians must be the leaders in sports health care. They are best prepared to arbitrate the ongoing conflict between athletic trainers and physical therapists and to decide which of these professionals can treat recreational athletes.

Care Development

A primary health care (PHC) strategy was adopted in Ghana in 1978, but the civilian government at the time failed to implement the program designed to achieve health for all Ghanaians. In 1982, the revolutionary military government under Rawlings indicated its commitment to the full implementation of the PHC program. In this article, the author seeks to examine the extent to which the Economic Recovery Program initiated by the Rawlings' regime, its policy of decentralization and mobilization of the masses, and its promise to institute some fundamental organizational and structural changes in the health care delivery system, are contributing to the process of achieving “health for all” Ghanaians.

Professional Health

This study sought to investigate factors that affect caregiver compliance to professional health advice with reference to children. An anthropological approach was used and clients were observed from mainstream health facilities to their homes to analyze the broader social structures, in familial settings, that influence decision making and final practices of the caregiver who visits the health centres. The study revealed a more complex pattern with a sophisticated cultural structure of caregivers who control and make decisions other than the person who visits the facility. Often this structure is unknown to mainstream health professionals with consequences on efficacy. In addition to the social structures is a powerful belief system that conditions the caregiver. This significantly compromises the advice by mainstream health professionals in a dual health care delivery system as Zimbabwe's. The study recommends that to improve on caregiver compliance mainstream health professionals need to know and engage this other invisible caregiver structure.

Drawing on an ethnographic study of teamwork in critical care units (CCUs), this chapter applies Henri Lefebvre’s ([1974] 1991) theoretical insights to an analysis of clinicians’ and patients’ embodied spatial practices. Lefebvre’s triadic framework of conceived, lived, and perceived spaces draws attention to the role of bodies in the production and negotiation of power relations among nurses, physicians, and patients within the CCU. Three ethnographic vignettes—“The Fight,” “The Parade,” and “The Plan”—explore how embodied spatial practices underlie the complexities of health care delivery, making visible the hidden narratives of conformity and resistance that characterize interprofessional care hierarchies. The social orderings of bodies in space are consequential: seeing them is the first step in redressing them.
