A growing concern in clinical literature with the "treatment burden" of living with multimorbidity raises questions about how we can study and produce knowledge on the impact of health care. In this article, we draw on ethnographic material from fieldwork among people with multimorbidity in Denmark and recent theorization on "values" in health care, to show how an ongoing "trying out" and ways of "just getting on with it" are enacted in illness trajectories marked by multimorbidity. Our findings point to the importance of attending to the subject positions that particular healthcare relations and encounters make possible.
随着临床文献中对患有多种疾病的“治疗负担”的日益关注,人们开始质疑我们如何研究和产生有关医疗保健影响的知识。在本文中,我们借鉴了丹麦多病症患者实地调查的民族志材料以及最近关于医疗保健中“价值观”的理论,展示了在多病症特征明显的疾病轨迹中,如何通过持续的“尝试”和“勉强应对”来实现。我们的研究结果表明,关注特定医疗保健关系和相遇所带来的主体地位非常重要。
