"My coma": collaborative autoethnography as a tool for re-contextualising coma experiences outside of the hospital

拟议的项目直接符合福利，健康和社区（WHC）途径。它使用创新的概念和方法学工具来探索昏迷的生活经验。昏迷占据了生与死之间的空隙。虽然插管和其他形式的生命支持已经引起了公众的注意，通过COVID大流行的开始，从社会学的角度对这种情况的探索有限。通过关注这种生与死的经历，拟议的项目将扩大社会科学中关于威胁生命的条件的现有辩论，从而为WHC的核心主题重点做出贡献。通过关注医院环境之外的昏迷经历，这项研究也为正式和非正式医疗保健的辩论提供了原创性的贡献。该项目在方法上也具有高度创新性，并将为整个途径的现有活动组合贡献新知识。该研究具有重要的潜力，告知第三部门组织和NHS围绕ICU提供服务，因此直接符合WHC对健康干预的关注。

The proposed project fits directly with the Wellbeing, Health, andCommunities (WHC) pathway. It uses innovative conceptual andmethodological tools to explore the lived experience of coma. Comaoccupies an interstitial space between life and death. Although intubationand other forms of life support have been brought to public attentionthrough the onset of the COVID pandemic, there has been limitedexploration of this condition from a sociological perspective. By focusing onthis life and death experience the proposed project will extend existingdebates in the social sciences on life threatening conditions thuscontributing to the core thematic focus of WHC. By focusing on theexperiences of coma beyond the hospital context, the study also offers anoriginal contribution to debates on formal and informal healthcare. Theproject is also highly innovative methodologically and will contribute newknowledge to the existing portfolio of activity across the pathway. Theresearch has significant potential to inform third sector organisation andNHS service delivery around ICU, therefore fitting directly with the focus ofWHC on health intervention.
