Abstract

The scope of this study was to analyze the racial inequalities present in the narratives of people whose family members died from COVID-19 in Brazil. A qualitative approach was adopted, which is inserted in the social constructionist perspective. Narratives about illness and death were produced through in-depth interviews with 35 subjects. The data was collected in 25 municipalities in seven Brazilian states, interpreted using Content Analysis and discussed based on the theoretical framework proposed by Judith Butler. The narratives indicate that black people who died from COVID-19 faced difficulties in accessing health services, were cared for by the SUS, did not have access to home treatment, encountered restricted information about their health status, and the family experienced financial problems after death. Among those of white skin color, there was negligence and denialist practices, care provided by the private sector, with advanced medical technologies and no financial impact on the family. People who died were considered as "precarious lives" in the context of the pandemic, and the black population was marked by vulnerabilities and racial inequalities, highlighting the need for anti-racist approaches in health practices.

[“没能拥抱我的儿子让我很伤心”:COVID-19大流行背景下的种族不平等叙述]。
本研究的范围是分析巴西家庭成员死于COVID-19的人的叙述中存在的种族不平等。本文采用了社会建构主义视角下的定性研究方法。关于疾病和死亡的叙述是通过对35名受试者的深入采访产生的。数据是在巴西7个州的25个城市收集的,使用内容分析进行解释,并根据Judith Butler提出的理论框架进行讨论。这些叙述表明,死于COVID-19的黑人在获得卫生服务方面面临困难,由单一卫生系统照顾,无法获得家庭治疗,关于其健康状况的信息有限,并且家庭在死后遇到经济问题。在白色皮肤的人中,有疏忽和否认的做法,由私营部门提供护理,具有先进的医疗技术,对家庭没有经济影响。在这种大流行病的背景下,死亡的人被认为是“不稳定的生命”,黑人人口的特点是脆弱性和种族不平等,这突出了在卫生实践中采取反种族主义做法的必要性。
