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.

由于大流行相关的延迟而导致的延迟诊断或治疗导致了无数的“可避免死亡”，因此需要紧急关注家庭和社区的经历和感受。流行病延迟对死亡和丧亲之痛的影响，包括影响延迟期间疾病和护理体验的社会文化因素。该项目的意义在于其创新的社会学方法，包括产生关于生命临终需求的新知识。跨环境移动好处包括提供可为社会和卫生政策提供信息的调查结果以及实践改进，以实现良好的死亡。
