乡村慢性病人的生活世界——基于冀南沙村中风病人的田野考察

The Life-World of the Chronically Ill in Rural China:Based on Field Investigations into Stroke Patients in South Hebei

以中风病人为例考察乡村慢性病人的生活世界,调查结果表明,慢性病首先导致了身体状况的恶化,随后引发了经济负担的加剧、自我认同的丧失和社会交往的减少,进而破坏了身体、自我和社会之间的有机联系,从而意味着病人生活世界的破坏。在考察慢性病的破坏性后果时,作者不仅强调慢性病发生影响的微观机制,还特别关注地方场景和更广阔的社会文化背景的作用。

Taking stroke patients as an example,the author has endeavored to explore the disruptive consequences of chronic illness.Results show that chronic illness leads to the deterioration of the patients＇ health,the increase of their financial burden,the loss of their self-identity,and a decline in their social contacts,thus disrupting the organic relationship among the body,the self,and the society.This means damage to the life-world of the chronically ill.While investigating the detrimental effects of chronic illness,the author not only stresses on the micro-mechanism of the effect but also pays special attention to the importance of local settings and wider socio-cultural contexts.
