Abstract

The question of how to build trust in health care is one that faces health-care workers and public health actors around the world. This article illustrates how midwives in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, have over time generated a distinctive ethos that characterizes the culture of their practice, and that stands as the object of a substantive generalized trust in midwives. In bringing attention to the multidimensional forms of labor carried out by health-care workers in a resource-poor setting, this article shows how cultures of medicine are generated and embodied by health-care workers in ways that mediate the dynamics of trust in health care. It offers a case study of the successful cultivation of trust in health care, while also reflecting on the problematic implications of the tendency to rely heavily on the labor of health-care workers for the development of trust-based health systems.

通过助产士的身体:精神,劳动,并在日惹,印度尼西亚的卫生保健信任的培养
如何建立对卫生保健的信任是世界各地卫生保健工作者和公共卫生行为者面临的问题。这篇文章说明了印度尼西亚日惹的助产士是如何随着时间的推移产生了一种独特的精神气质,这种精神气质是其实践文化的特征,也是助产士普遍信任的对象。为了引起人们对保健工作者在资源贫乏环境中进行的多维劳动形式的关注,本文展示了保健工作者如何以调解保健信任动态的方式产生和体现医学文化。它提供了一个成功培养卫生保健信任的案例研究,同时也反映了严重依赖卫生保健工作者的劳动来发展以信任为基础的卫生系统的趋势所带来的问题。
