摘要

目的 本研究旨在探讨印度在 COVID-19 大流行病死亡人数最多的高峰期担任非正式危机志愿者的个人经历。样本(n = 112)由个人(平均年龄 = 21.89 岁)组成,他们在 COVID-19 第二波大流行期间作为志愿者团体的一部分或个人,在线或离线进行了至少连续 10 天至 4 个月的志愿服务。数据分析采用了描述性统计和定性内容分析(Mayring,2000 年)。他们还谈到了身边发生的几起侵犯人权事件,即人们被剥夺了健康权(可用性和可及性)、各种歧视猖獗以及政府机构在危机应对方面的其他系统性失误。一些人报告说,在这一过程中,他们承受了极大的精神压力,经历或目睹了骚扰,并与腐败打交道。据报告,最有帮助的应对机制是集体认同感,以及与其他志愿者一起进行集体感悟和集体宣泄的机会。 原创性/价值对于在大流行期间以各种身份协助印度公共卫生系统的非正式危机志愿者的经历,人们知之甚少。本文探讨了这些经历,揭示了当时发生的各种侵犯人权行为,并提供了技术和社交媒体在有组织的利他主义努力中的潜力。

Crisis volunteering during COVID-19 pandemic in India: youth responds to health and human rights crisis
Purpose This study aims to explore the experiences of individuals in India who acted as informal crisis volunteers during the peak of the deadliest wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in the country. Design/methodology/approach An exploratory, qualitative design was used, and data gathered via a qualitative survey in three focus areas, namely, motivation, challenges and coping mechanisms. The sample (n = 112) comprised individuals (mean age = 21.89 years) whose volunteering efforts during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic were extended as part of volunteer groups or individually, online or offline, for minimum of 10 consecutive days to four months. Descriptive statistics and qualitative content analysis (Mayring, 2000) were used to analyze the data. Findings Most of the participants reported being inspired by social media activism to become crisis volunteers themselves. They also spoke of several human rights violations unfolding around them, namely, people denied right to health (availability and accessibility), rampant discrimination of various kinds and other systemic failures in crisis response by government bodies. Several reported undergoing extreme mental duress during the process, experiencing or witnessing harassment and dealing with corruption. A sense of collective identity and opportunities to engage in collective sense making and collective catharsis with fellow volunteers were reported as the most helpful coping mechanism. Originality/value Very little is known about the experience of informal crisis volunteers who assisted the public health system in India in various capacities during the pandemic. This paper explores those experiences, sheds light on various human rights violations that took place during the time and provides a glimpse into the potential of technology and social media in organized altruistic efforts.

期刊介绍: nternational Journal of Human Rights in Healthcare (IJHRH) is an international, peer reviewed journal with a unique practical approach to promoting race equality, inclusion and human rights in health and social care. The journal publishes scholarly and double blind peer-reviewed papers of the highest standard, including case studies and book reviews. IJHRH aims include: -To explore what is currently known about discrimination and disadvantage with a particular focus on health and social care -Push the barriers of the human rights discourse by identifying new avenues for healthcare practice and policy internationally -Create bridges between policymakers, practitioners and researchers -Identify and understand the social determinants of health equity and practical interventions to overcome barriers at national and international levels. The journal welcomes papers which use varied approaches, including discussion of theory, comparative studies, systematic evaluation of interventions, analysis of qualitative data and study of health and social care institutions and the political process. Papers published in IJHRH: -Clearly demonstrate the implications of the research -Provide evidence-rich information -Provoke reflection and support critical analysis of both challenges and strengths -Share examples of best practice and ‘what works’, including user perspectives IJHRH is a hugely valuable source of information for researchers, academics, students, practitioners, managers, policy-makers, commissioning bodies, social workers, psychologists, nurses, voluntary sector workers, service users and carers internationally.
