Killing healthcare: How attacks against health systems in conflict zones affect patient related outcome measures and healthcare workers

该行动研究项目使用定量和定性的现场数据来研究针对医疗保健的攻击对卫生系统和患者的影响。使用一个理论框架的健康和国际标准，存在以保护冲突中的医疗保健，我将期待测试其可行性的情况下，武装冲突变得更加城市化，导致整个民用基础设施被故意交战各方。该研究遵循准实验设计，以解决在活跃冲突地区进行研究所固有的伦理和实际限制，以及在这些环境中研究弱势患者群体时所需的伦理考虑。

This action research project examines the impact of attacks against healthcare on health systems and patients using quantitative and qualitative field data. Using a theoretical framework on health and international standards that exist to protect healthcare in conflict, I will look to test their viability in the context of a landscape where armed conflict is becoming more urbanised, resulting in entire civilian infrastructures being deliberately by warring parties. The research follows a quasi-experimental design to address the ethical and practical restrictions inherent in conducting research in active conflict zone and also the ethical considerations required when researching vulnerable patient populations in these settings.
