Understanding the implications of pandemic delays for the end of life

由于与大流行相关的延误而导致的诊断或治疗延迟，Covid-19造成的“可避免死亡”人数正在增加。家庭和社区如何经历和感受延误需要紧急关注。该项目旨在了解流行病延迟对死亡和丧失亲人的影响，包括在延迟期间形成疾病和护理经历的社会文化因素。这个项目的意义在于其创新的社会学方法；预期的结果包括产生关于生命末期需求的新知识，这些需求可以跨越环境和环境。益处包括提供调查结果，为社会和卫生政策以及改进做法提供信息，以实现良好死亡。

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.
