The Relation Between the Internment of Sick Persons Feelings of Them

Summary/Abstract: During this particular research study, we tried to emphasize the significance and the role of the religious feeling during situations of crisis and hardship. One of the most difficult situations in somebody's life is illness and hospitalization and the efect it has on the individual. After a short review of the attitudes towards illness over time, the presentation of the theological perspective tries to explain the symbolism and meaning of disease in the process of redemption by bringing Jove's case into focus. From this point of view, redemption signifies the acceptance of the Cross and of the suffering. Up to this moment there was disease, associated with loss in Jove's life, because of his sins, in this situation, though, the suffering is beyond any human under-standing, becomming a means for redemption. From the social work pespective, the role of the social worker and the importance of the role expectancy is significantly underlined when it comes to helping and assissting the sick individual through this ordeal. The study tries to catch a glimpse of the way in which hospitalization influences the patient's behaviour and the individual's evolution afterwards. It also aims at defining the connection between illness, hospitalization and the religious feeling.
