A study of the process of dying in American hospitals focuses upon discernible recurrent
patterns of interaction between staff members, terminally ill patients, and their
families. Strauss and Glaser suppose that the expectation of death by both the
dying and the relatives are a key to understanding the interactions between
those people. Their choice of hospitals and stations allowed them to compare various
kinds of expectations. On a premature infant station, mortality was high but the
patients were not aware of their impeding deaths, while on an oncology station, dying
was slow and differences in the awareness of dying were very pronounced. The hypothesis results
in a theory on the influence of awareness on the interaction with dying people.
