照顾者的日常行为挑战了依赖于照顾者的情感或专心取向的主流护理观点。泰国北部两名中年妇女为卧床不起的母亲提供的例行护理任务揭示了长期护理的现实。对这些姐妹来说，关怀改变了“功德”和“业力”，而不依赖于内在的信念。这一背景反过来反映了人们如何通过习惯性的提供他人的物质实践来制定价值观和维护社会世界。实践中的普通护理--被称为“护理仪式”--摆脱了对特定个人情感的执着，并肯定了护理研究是评估持久的道德体验模式以及社会变化的微妙形式的有力工具。[关怀、仪式、现象学、佛教、泰国、化身、道德]
Caregivers’ quotidian actions challenge prevailing views of care that rely on the emotional or attentive orientation of the caregiver. The routinized care tasks provided by two middle-aged women for their bedridden mother in northern Thailand reveal the realities of long-term caregiving. For these sisters, care transforms “merit” and “karma” without reliance on internal conviction. This context in turn reflects how people enact values and maintain social worlds through habituated physical practices of providing for others. Ordinary care in practice—termed “rituals of care”—dislodges fixation on particular personal sentiments and affirms the study of care as a powerful tool for assessing enduring modes of moral experience as well as subtle forms of social change.
