Abstract

Research shows how racism can negatively affect access to health care and treatment. However, limited theoretical research exists on conceptualizing racism in health care. In this article, we use structural violence as a theoretical tool to understand how racism as an institutionalized social structure is enacted in subtle ways and how the "violence" built into forms of social organization is rendered invisible through repetition and routinization. We draw on interviews with health care users from three European countries, namely, Sweden, Germany, and Portugal to demonstrate how two interrelated processes of unequal access to resources and inequalities in power can lead to the silencing of suffering and erosion of dignity, respectively. The strength of this article lies in illuminating the mechanisms of subtle racism that damages individuals and leads to loss of trust in health care. It is imperative to address these issues to ensure a responsive and equal health care for all users.

摘要

研究表明种族主义如何能对获得医疗保健和治疗产生负面影响。然而,关于在医疗保健中将种族主义概念化的理论研究有限。在本文中,我们使用结构性暴力作为一种理论工具,来理解种族主义作为一种制度化的社会结构是如何以微妙的方式表现出来的,以及社会组织形式中内在的“暴力”是如何通过重复和常规化而变得不可见的。我们借鉴了对来自瑞典、德国和葡萄牙这三个欧洲国家的医疗保健使用者的访谈,以证明资源获取不平等和权力不平等这两个相互关联的过程如何分别导致痛苦被压制和尊严受损。本文的优势在于阐明了微妙的种族主义机制,这种机制会伤害个人并导致对医疗保健失去信任。必须解决这些问题,以确保为所有使用者提供响应式和平等的医疗保健。
