Sociology Of Health And Illness

Nature of-sociology
Sociology is defined as the scientific study of human society and social interaction. It is an independent social science that uses both empirical and rational methods to study human behavior and society in a generalizing and categorical way.

Both group types play key roles in hospitals and rehabilitation by meeting different needs of patients and supporting their recovery and reintegration into social life.
