Abstract

COVID-19 has overwhelmed health-care providers. The virus is novel in its prevalence, severity and the risk of asymptomatic infection. In order to reduce the risk of infection and stop the spread of COVID-19, clinicians in hospitals across the United States are taking measures to limit exposure to infected patients by reducing the frequency of visits to patients’ rooms, touching patients less, and adopting new protocols around the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). While these newly adopted practices are helping to reduce transmission risk of COVID-19, they are producing a habitus of infection; an acute shift among clinicians that is deeply embodied and likely to have a permanent impact on the health and wellbeing of both providers and already isolated patients.

COVID-19使卫生保健提供者不堪重负。该病毒在流行程度、严重程度和无症状感染风险方面都是新颖的。为了降低感染风险并阻止COVID-19的传播，美国各地医院的临床医生正在采取措施，通过减少访问病房的频率，减少接触患者，并在个人防护装备(PPE)的使用方面采用新的方案，来限制与感染患者的接触。虽然这些新采用的做法有助于降低COVID-19的传播风险，但它们正在形成感染习惯;临床医生之间的急剧转变是深刻体现的，可能对提供者和已经隔离的患者的健康和福祉产生永久性影响。

期刊介绍： Anthropology in Action (AIA) is a peer-reviewed journal publishing articles, commentaries, research reports, and book reviews in applied anthropology. Contributions reflect the use of anthropological training in policy- or practice-oriented work and foster the broader application of these approaches to practical problems. The journal provides a forum for debate and analysis for anthropologists working both inside and outside academia and aims to promote communication amongst practitioners, academics and students of anthropology in order to advance the cross-fertilisation of expertise and ideas. Recent themes and articles have included the anthropology of welfare, transferring anthropological skills to applied health research, design considerations in old-age living, museum-based anthropology education, cultural identities and British citizenship, feminism and anthropology, and international student and youth mobility.
