The untold toll of Covid-19 is emerging in ‘avoidable deaths’ linked to late(r) diagnosis or treatment due to pandemic-related delay. How delays are experienced and felt across families and communities requires urgent attention. This project aims to understand the implications of pandemic delay for dying and bereavement, including the sociocultural factors that shape experiences of illness and care amid delay. The significance of this project lies in its innovative sociological approach; expected outcomes include the generation of new knowledge on needs at the end of life that move across contexts and settings. Benefits include provision of findings that will inform social and health policy and practice improvements to enable good deaths.

由于大流行相关的延误，新冠肺炎造成的诊断或治疗延误导致了“可避免的死亡”，这种死亡人数不计其数。家庭和社区之间的延误是如何经历和感受到的，需要紧急关注。该项目旨在了解大流行延迟对死亡和丧亲的影响，包括在延迟期间塑造疾病和护理经历的社会文化因素。该项目的意义在于其创新的社会学方法；预期成果包括在生命末期产生跨越各种背景和环境的关于需求的新知识。好处包括提供调查结果，为改善社会和卫生政策和做法提供信息，以实现良好的死亡。
