项目摘要

Maternal mortality has decreased significantly over the last century, yet remains highly variable, impacting how people understand and experience maternal healthcare. Significant research has shed light on how factors such as proximity to healthcare and socioeconomic status impact maternal health. Yet, maternal characteristics intersect with numerous other sociological variables and histories to impact how they use and experience maternal healthcare. This doctoral dissertation research investigates how variation in concepts of maternal health crises affects how women intersect with mainstream and alternative forms of healthcare. It trains a graduate student in scientific cultural anthropology theory and methods and disseminates findings broadly to academic and policy audiences. The researcher investigates how clinicians and patients understand concepts of maternal health crises and how this impacts delivery of and experiences of care. Using interviews and participant observation, the investigator asks: how individual factors intersect to affect patient experiences; how clinicians’ understandings of crises impact maternal healthcare; and how patient and clinician experiences intersect in shaping maternal health outcomes. The project is responsive to recent calls to investigate how perceptions of public health articulate with patient experiences in driving health and welfare among mothers.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

上个世纪，孕产妇的死亡率已大大提高，但仍有很大的变化，从而影响了人们的理解和体验孕产妇的医疗保健。重大研究揭示了诸如邻近医疗保健和社会经济状况之类的因素如何影响孕产妇的健康。然而，产妇特征与许多其他社会学变量和历史相交，以影响其使用和体验孕产妇的医疗保健。这项博士学位论文研究调查了孕产妇健康危机概念的变化如何影响妇女如何与主流和替代形式的医疗保健相交。它培训了一名科学文化人类学理论和方法的研究生，并将发现广泛地传播给学术和政策受众。研究人员调查了临床医生和患者如何理解孕产妇健康危机的概念，以及这如何影响护理的交付和经验。调查人员使用访谈和参与观察，问：个体因素如何干扰患者的经历；临床医生对危机的理解如何影响物物医疗保健；以及患者和临床经历如何相交，以塑造物物健康状况。该项目对最近的呼吁做出了反应，以调查对公共卫生的看法如何与患者在母亲中驾驶健康和福利方面的经验表达出来。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的知识分子的优点和更广泛的影响来评估NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得的支持。
