Abstract

The aim of this paper is to reflect on the value of body mapping in supporting patients to communicate their everyday experiences of Long Covid. Body maps are life-sized drawings of bodies and body mapping is used to discuss experiences through guided questions and answering those questions using colours, images and other prompts. This short paper focuses on the first of four body mapping workshops of this study, which was conducted in June 2023 in London with 4 participants in collaboration with Long Covid Support. Our preliminary results suggest i) body mapping can offer novel insights into patients’ experiences of Long Covid, ii) the method may be effectively applied as a tool for patients to communicate their symptoms and overall experiences to practitioners, friends, and family members, and iii) body mapping may be adapted to offer peer support as part of Long Covid advocacy. This has significant potential application as a resource for healthcare professionals and patient-led peer support and Long Covid advocacy work.

当你找不到语言时利用肢体描绘来传达病人对 Long Covid 的体验。
本文旨在反思人体绘图在支持患者交流朗科维德日常经历方面的价值。人体图是人体的真人大小图画,人体图通过引导性问题和使用颜色、图像和其他提示回答这些问题来讨论体验。本短文重点介绍了本研究四次人体绘图研讨会中的第一次,该研讨会于 2023 年 6 月在伦敦举行,有 4 名参与者参加,并得到了 Long Covid 支持中心的协助。我们的初步研究结果表明:i)肢体映射可为患者对 Long Covid 的体验提供新的见解;ii)该方法可作为一种有效的工具,用于患者向医生、朋友和家人传达其症状和总体体验;iii)肢体映射可作为 Long Covid 宣传的一部分,用于提供同伴支持。该方法作为医疗保健专业人员、患者主导的同伴支持和Long Covid宣传工作的资源,具有巨大的应用潜力。
