Abstract

We explore partner exclusion from perinatal care in Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants' narratives show that pregnant couples frame partner presence as a [human] right that was denied, and articulated this as denial of the "right to experience" and the "right to care." These restrictions deprived birth partners and families of an experience that is important to them, and represent a repudiation of the resurgence of birth as a social event which entails valued forms of care. We show that the medical establishment's commitment to partner presence during perinatal care is weak, although caring masculinity is normative.

加拿大新冠肺炎期间伴侣被排除在外分娩：对理论和政策的启示。

我们探讨了新冠肺炎大流行期间加拿大伴侣被排除在围产期护理之外的情况。参与者的叙述表明，怀孕夫妇将伴侣的存在视为一项被剥夺的[人权]，并将其表述为对“体验权”和“护理权”的剥夺。这些限制剥夺了出生伴侣和家庭对他们重要的体验，并代表着对出生作为一种需要有价值的护理形式的社会事件的复兴的否定。我们发现，医疗机构对围产期护理期间伴侣在场的承诺很弱，尽管关爱男性是规范的。

期刊介绍： Medical Anthropology provides a global forum for scholarly articles on the social patterns of ill-health and disease transmission, and experiences of and knowledge about health, illness and wellbeing. These include the nature, organization and movement of peoples, technologies and treatments, and how inequalities pattern access to these. Articles published in the journal showcase the theoretical sophistication, methodological soundness and ethnographic richness of contemporary medical anthropology. Through the publication of empirical articles and editorials, we encourage our authors and readers to engage critically with the key debates of our time. Medical Anthropology invites manuscripts on a wide range of topics, reflecting the diversity and the expanding interests and concerns of researchers in the field.
