Communication plays an important role in the non-copresent care that is increasingly prevalent today. Drawing on long-term research with transnational Salvadoran families, I explore how one multigenerational kin network managed a health crisis: a family member had been diagnosed with a new form of chronic kidney disease that is epidemic in rural Central American communities. The family used cross-border communication to simultaneously enact care and consolidate a particular register of care. I suggest that everyday communication is a powerful force that works both within and beyond immediate care work encounters in ways that have far-reaching consequences for ethical and moral life.
在当今越来越流行的非同时代护理中，沟通起着重要作用。本文通过对跨国萨尔瓦多家庭的长期研究，探讨了一个多代亲属网络如何应对一场健康危机：一名家庭成员被诊断出患有一种在中美洲农村社区流行的新型慢性肾病。这个家庭利用跨境沟通，同时实施护理，并巩固了一种特定的护理记录。我认为，日常沟通是一种强大的力量，它不仅在即时护理工作中发挥作用，而且还在更广泛的范围内发挥作用，对道德和伦理生活产生深远影响。
