ABSTRACT

In seeking ground-up understandings of heart health disparities facing low-income Malay women in Singapore, this paper locates their meanings of heart health. Their health narratives reveal the insidious communicative and structural barriers women face. The findings show how shame, conceptualized as malu, remains a barrier to accessing health and help structures. Everyday food insecurity and stress from caregiving while in impoverishment also undermine heart health equity. The intersections of gender and class reveal how caregiving can have a crippling effect on health outcomes in the low-income context. Low-income women face multiple burdens that impede heart health care and management. Women's heart health interventions should heed how a culture of shame and structural manifestations of stress and food insecurity prevent women in low-income settings from seeking equitable health opportunities.

新加坡低收入马来妇女心脏健康的意义:关于粮食不安全、照顾压力源和羞耻的叙述

摘要

为了从根本上了解新加坡低收入马来女性所面临的心脏健康差异,本文确定了她们对心脏健康的意义。他们的健康叙述揭示了女性面临的阴险的沟通和结构障碍。调查结果显示了羞耻,被概念化为malu,仍然是获得健康和帮助结构的障碍。在贫困中,日常的粮食不安全和看护带来的压力也会破坏心脏健康的公平性。性别和阶级的交集揭示了在低收入背景下,看护如何对健康结果产生严重影响。低收入女性面临着阻碍心脏保健和管理的多重负担。女性心脏健康干预措施应注意羞耻文化以及压力和粮食不安全的结构性表现如何阻止低收入环境中的女性寻求公平的健康机会。
