In the conclusion to this book, I will discuss the main points and perspectives to come out of the discussion on affective injustice in healthcare. Firstly, I will discuss the necessary conceptual precision needed in this topic, in particular the need to specify affective injustice in relation to the epistemic injustice literature and how we can go about this. Next, I will discuss several recurring themes I have explored throughout this enquiry, namely the equilibrium to be found in emotional regulation strategies and affective expression, and how we can develop greater affective humility in healthcare. I will then advocate that any applications to the illness experience take into account not only the individual but also the collective dimensions, including its impact on care, to understand the extent of the problem. I will also argue for greater attention to marginalized groups and the affective harms they suffer, a group that includes patients but also healthcare providers. Finally, I will discuss the need to move this debate forward with applications to issues specific to certain healthcare providers.

Conclusion: Affective Injustice, Empirical Research, and Paths Forward

  • Brenda Bogaert

摘要

In the conclusion to this book, I will discuss the main points and perspectives to come out of the discussion on affective injustice in healthcare. Firstly, I will discuss the necessary conceptual precision needed in this topic, in particular the need to specify affective injustice in relation to the epistemic injustice literature and how we can go about this. Next, I will discuss several recurring themes I have explored throughout this enquiry, namely the equilibrium to be found in emotional regulation strategies and affective expression, and how we can develop greater affective humility in healthcare. I will then advocate that any applications to the illness experience take into account not only the individual but also the collective dimensions, including its impact on care, to understand the extent of the problem. I will also argue for greater attention to marginalized groups and the affective harms they suffer, a group that includes patients but also healthcare providers. Finally, I will discuss the need to move this debate forward with applications to issues specific to certain healthcare providers.
