Sammanfattning
The aim of this study was to develop an empirically based theory concerning the cohabitants’
and health care professionals' expectations to the content of the conversation in the outpatient
respiratory medical clinic. Participation of cohabitants is today immensely important in the Western
health-care system. At the same time there seems to be a lack of knowledge regarding their needs
and expectations during the clinical encounter. The study is based on Kathy Charmaz' social
constructivist interpretation of Grounded Theory. The study includes a total of 48 participants: 14
partners, 14 patients and 20 health professionals. Data have been collected through 19 field
observations in three hospital based outpatient respiratory medical clinics in Denmark, and 14
patient/partner interviews and 11 interviews with health professionals including one focus group
interview. A main concern appeared through conflicting expectations as to what the counselling could
include. It often led to discord in the interaction. The cohabitants strove to be engaged in evolving
conversations, while the healthcare professionals strove to maintain a formalised agenda. The
findings of this study point out the need to develop specific models targeted the time defined
outpatient interaction that strengthens clinical practice, based on an individual organized guidance,
stimulating conversations and emotional recognition of the patients and cohabitants.
