Health System Shocks Care Seeking

项目摘要

This project aims to gain in-depth insight on how a life course approach can be used to explain care seeking behaviour of pregnant women who belong to an ethnic minority or socially complex group, during a health system shock such as theCOVID-19 pandemic. Pregnant women are more likely to develop severe symptoms of SARS CoV-2 infection and have poorer outcomes in pregnancy. Furthermore, women who belong to an ethnic minority or socially complex group are particularly vulnerable, attributed to social determinants of health and social deprivation. Policy changes, rapid reconfiguration of maternity services, and confusing guidance from the government have led to a reduction initialization of maternity services and hesitancy in vaccination uptake. Care seeking behavior is rooted in dynamic social contexts, making it imperative to analyse how populations engage with health systems. I will use a mixed-methods sequential explanatory design: first investigating clinical quantitative data to find comparative rates of care seeking differences within groups, followed by an exploration of qualitative data from participatory appraisal activities and in-depth interviews with women in South London to explain and elaborate statistical findings. Using interdisciplinary social and medical science research, the project will explore how pregnant women respond to policy changes in the health system and help inform future policy development tomanage imminent health system shocks.

该项目旨在深入了解如何使用生命课程方法来解释属于少数族裔或社会复杂群体的孕妇的护理行为，例如在卫生系统震惊中，例如Thecovid-19-19的大流行。孕妇更有可能出现SARS COV-2感染的严重症状，并且在怀孕中的结局较差。此外，属于少数民族或社会复杂群体的妇女特别容易受到伤害，这归因于健康和社会剥夺的社会决定因素。政策变化，孕产妇服务的快速重新配置以及政府引起的混淆导致孕产妇服务的初始化和疫苗接种吸收的犹豫。寻求行为的护理源于动态的社会环境，因此必须分析人口如何与卫生系统互动。我将使用混合方法的顺序解释设计：首先研究临床定量数据，以找到组内的护理寻求差异，然后探索参与式评估活动中的定性数据，并与南伦敦南部的妇女进行深入的访谈，以解释和详细说明统计发现。该项目利用跨学科的社会和医学研究，探讨孕妇如何应对卫生系统的政策变化，并帮助未来的政策制定迫在眉睫的卫生系统冲击。
