Abstract

Cilj je rada ispisati etnografiju iskust(a)va medicinskih radnika u pandemiji COVID-19, odnosno njihovo viđenje i pogled izbliza na svakodnevicu bolnice u medicinskoj krizi i promjene koje su se događale, u načinu i doživljaju rada. Propituju se i odnosi s pacijentima i njihovim obiteljima koji opovrgavaju ozbiljnost ili uopće postojanje bolesti COVID-19, kao i suočavanje sa smrću i patnjom pacijenata te način na koji oblikuju svoje narative o tome. Metodologija u radu su polustrukturirani intervjui te kritičko čitanje relevantne literature i izvora o temama teorija zavjere i infodemije, koje su se također širile u pandemiji.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this work is to write an ethnography of the experience(s) of medical workers in the COVID-19 pandemic, that is, their close-up view of the everyday life of a hospital in a medical crisis and the changes that took place in the ways of working and experience of work. Relationships with patients and their families who deny the seriousness or even the existence of the disease COVID-19 are also examined, as well as dealing with the death and suffering of patients and the way they shape their narratives about it. The methodology used in the work are semi-structured interviews and critical reading of relevant literature and sources on the topics of conspiracy theories and infodemics, which also spread during the pandemic.
