Admission Decision-Making in Hospital Emergency Departments
In resource-stretched emergency departments, people accompanying patients play key roles in patients’ care. This article presents analysis of the ways health professionals and accompanying persons talked about admission decisions and caring roles. The authors used an ethnographic case study design involving participant observation and semi-structured interviews with 13 patients, 17 accompanying persons and 26 health care professionals in four Nat…
Place of Birth and Concepts of Wellbeing
A bstract This article is based on analysis of a series of ethnographic case studies of midwifery units in England. Midwifery units 1 are spaces that were developed to provide more home-like and less medically oriented care for birth that would support physiological processes of labour, women’s comfort and a positive experience of birth for women and their families. They are run by midwives, either on a hospital site alongside an obstetric unit (…
Causas públicas, historias privadas
El artículo reflexiona en torno a elementos que afectan la decisión de las mujeres acerca de la reproducción y del aborto. Contribuye a los debates sobre políticas, campañas activistas y el Código Penal boliviano, en un contexto en el que las desigualdades y la violencia basada en el género ponen desafíos a la eficacia de las tecnologías y las leyes para garantizar el ejercicio del derecho a decidir. Las autoras analizan experiencias narradas por…
Implementação da presença de acompanhantes durante a internação para o parto
As evidências sobre os benefícios do apoio contínuo durante o parto levou à recomendação de que este apoio deve ser oferecido a todas as mulheres. No Brasil, ele é garantido por lei desde 2005, mas os dados sobre a sua implementação são escassos. Nosso objetivo foi estimar a frequência e fatores sociodemográficos, obstétricos e institucionais associados à presença de acompanhantes durante o parto na pesquisa Nascer no Brasil. Foi feita análise es…
Abortion discourse in Bolivian hospital contexts
The author proposes going Beyond attitudes (Potter and Wetherell 1987) to a more nuanced assessment of doctors' discursive variations. Through an application of Gilbert and Mulkay's (1984) interpretative repertoires, she defined three voices - technical, normative and pragmatic - in which Bolivian doctors spoke of abortion. In State and social security hospital contexts, doctors hastened to express compliance with government policy and institutio…
Unethical ethics? Reflections on intercultural research practices
The notion that there is a universal ethics is commonly supposed, but less often explicitly discussed, in protocols for ethical procedures in research. In this article, the authors reflect on their action-research with women farmers in a Bolivian highland province. Their project aims to propose ways in which local health services could better serve these women's expressed sexual and reproductive health needs. A series of field experiences led the…
Safe motherhood, unsafe abortion
Ten years ago, in 1987, the International Conference on Safe Motherhood was held in Nairobi. As a result of this event, greater attention has been given to the previously ‘unseen tragedy’ of maternal mortality and its significance as a development indicator. A goal was set to halve the number of maternal deaths in developing countries by the year 2000. In Bolivia, the past decade has seen considerable developments in reproductive health policies …
Misinformation, Mistrust, and Mistreatment
Results of an ethnographic study suggest that, despite stereotypes to the contrary, urban Aymara women in Bolivia want to regulate their fertility, and sociocultural norms support fertility regulation. However, the norms also make such regulation difficult to achieve. One barrier is a deep suspicion of modern medicine and medical practitioners, who are not seen as reliable sources of information. This suspicion is reinforced when the quality of h…
