    Abstract:
    We examined 63 in-patients in a medical hospital with a semi-structured and video-taped interview about the professional social support they had received. Patients were quite satisfied with physicians' and nurses' support, still more than one third of them had missed appraisal support from physicians. We found evidence that older, more ill and female patients perceived more professional social support was given. With the help of a hierarchical cluster analysis it was shown that the importance of professional social support depended remarkably on individual factors as identity or partner relation.
