这份编辑后的文本是政策出版社出版的题为《卫生职业社会学：未来国际方向》系列的第二篇。它由十一章组成，涵盖了支持工作的几个不同方面及其与卫生专业的关系，并参考了广泛的不同国家进行了说明。鉴于卫生支持工作者在利用卫生专业人员为现代世界日益老龄化的人口提供护理方面发挥着越来越重要的作用，迄今为止，对不同范围的卫生支持工作者相对缺乏关注，凸显了其重要性。由迈克·萨克斯（Mike Saks）担任编辑介绍的这本合集的特殊意义在于，第一本社会科学书籍汇集了国际专家的各种贡献，由支持工作者与卫生专业人员共同为使用者及其护理人员提供医疗保健。这对所有现代社会的福祉都具有至关重要的影响。过去，支持劳动力及其在医疗保健分工中的地位常常是看不见的。然而，这本书是从新韦伯主义的角度写的，增强了我们对支持人员作用的学术理解，并有助于为这一关键领域的政策制定提供信息。
This edited text is the second in the series entitled the Sociology of Health Professions: Future International Directions, published by Policy Press. It consists of eleven chapters covering several different aspects of support work and its relationship to the health professions, illustrated with reference to a wide range of different countries. Its importance is underlined by the relative lack of attention given to date to the diverse span of health support workers, in light of their growing significance in harness with the health professions in providing care to an increasingly ageing population in the modern world. The special significance of this collection, introduced by Mike Saks as editor, is that the various expert international contributions are brought together in the first social science book produced on the part played by support workers in conjunction with health professions in providing health care to users and their carers. This has crucial ramifications for well being in all modern societies. The support workforce and its place in the health care division of labour have too often been invisible in the past. However, this book, written from a neo-Weberian perspective, enhances our academic understanding of the role of support workers and helps to inform policy making in this critical field.
