Exploring the impact of social prescribing on health and wellbeing: multiple perspectives within a locality experiencing poverty and socio-economic de

“持续的健康不平等意味着长期健康状况和多种疾病的负担不成比例地福尔斯在社会经济地位较低的群体身上。从历史上看，既定的卫生保健模式在解决健康的社会经济决定因素方面几乎没有提供什么帮助。社会处方越来越多地被用来弥合医疗保健和社会支持之间的差距。它允许卫生专业人员将个人与非临床服务联系起来，帮助他们管理自己的健康状况。社会处方的证据基础仍然很小，需要进一步的研究。Ways to Wellness（WtW）是一个大规模的社会处方倡议，在泰恩河畔纽卡斯尔的社会经济贫困地区开展。它的资助期为七年，为理解社会处方提供了一个难得的机会。早期的数据表明，其影响超出了转诊的个人到家庭和社区，但在全科医生转诊率和几个人的“辍学”有相当大的差异。通过与WtW合作，我们提出了一种多地点民族志方法，为相关人员探索WtW的经验和意义。专注于个人转介到WTW以及初级保健工作人员，我们的目标是了解如何使用的服务是嵌入在日常流程和更广泛的网络，通过观察参与和探索在不同的设置实践。"

"Persistent health inequalities mean that the burden of long-term health conditions and multi morbidity falls disproportionately on those in lower socioeconomic groups. Established health care models have historically offered little to tackle socioeconomic determinants of health. Increasingly, social prescribing is used to bridge the gap between health care and social support. It allows health professionals to link individuals to non-clinical services that help them manage their health conditions. The evidence base for social prescribing remains small and further research is needed. Ways to Wellness (WtW) is a large-scale social prescribing initiative operating in a socioeconomically deprived area of Newcastle Upon Tyne. It is funded for seven years and provides an un-paralleled opportunity for understanding social prescribing. Early data suggests its impact extends beyond referred individuals to families and communities but, there are considerable variations in GP referral rates and several individuals "drop-out". Through collaborating with WtW we propose a multi-sited ethnographic approach to explore the experiences and meanings of WtW for those involved. Focusing on individuals referred to WtW as well as primary care staff we aim to understand how use of the service is embedded in everyday processes and wider networks by observing engagement and exploring practices in different settings.
