To analyze the conceptions about COVID-19 among Brazilians who carry out commuting to work in clandestine mines located on the borders between Brazil, French Guiana and Suriname.
This is qualitative research, from an analytical perspective, based on Social Representation Theory. Semi-structured, audio-recorded interviews were carried out with 10 Brazilians who experience work routine in clandestine mining on the border between Brazil, French Guiana and Suriname.
Two analytical categories emerged: "The disease of otherness"; and "Health access dimension".
Disease severity was attributed to another or a human body organ, and not to individuals as a whole. Access to health services was established on issues of inequity, violence and illegal practices. The nature of a transient population, which carries out commuting and informal and clandestine work, demonstrates vulnerability to COVID-19 and a lower propensity to receive care.
分析在巴西、法属圭亚那和苏里南边境从事秘密矿区通勤工作的巴西人对 COVID-19 的认知。
这是一项定性研究，采用社会代表理论的分析视角。对 10 名在巴西、法属圭亚那和苏里南边境从事秘密采矿工作的巴西人进行了半结构化、录音采访。
出现了两个分析类别：“他者的疾病”和“卫生服务获取维度”。
疾病的严重程度归因于他人或人体器官，而不是整个人。卫生服务的获取取决于不平等、暴力和非法行为等问题。流动人口的性质，即通勤和非正规及秘密工作，表明他们容易感染 COVID-19，并且不太愿意接受治疗。
