Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter contains a reflection by Portuguese sociologists based on their research work on an occupational group from the health sector. This group sought to obtain the power of self-regulation and thus the recognition as a profession and therefore, commissioned a study in accordance with Portuguese law. This research was undertaken in 2008 on the health professional field and taking into consideration the different professional and occupational groups throughout it and not only the occupational group ordering the study. Based on this research, the authors propose a reflection on some related deontological questions alongside stressing the importance of predefining the theoretical, methodological and deontological conditions of sociological research on professions and occupations.
