Percepciones de sistemas de salud en Migrantes: Medicina Tradicional y Medicina Occidental en un Contexto de Avance Tecnológico - Una Perspectiva Antropológica de multiculturalidad en Canadá, Estados Unidos y Alemania
Bibliographic record
Abstract
[ES]Objetivo: Realizar una etnografía de personas migrantes que residen en lugares diferentes a su lugar de origen. Más concretamente, explorar su toma de decisiones en cuestiones de salud, y sus percepciones en el proceso de salud – enfermedad- atención, en cuanto a su visión de la medicina tradicional y la medicina occidental (biomedicina) en esta época de avance tecnológico. Métodos: Estudio de base antropológica, de tipo mixto cuantitativo y cualitativo con diseño micro etnográfico, desarrollado a partir de informantes de diversas nacionalidades con los que se ha contactado durante un viaje de 11 semanas en Canadá, Alemania y Estados Unido, entre febrero de 2024 y mayo de 2024. El trabajo de campo implicó la recogida de datos mediante entrevistas semi estructuradas, observación participante y cuestionarios. Los datos se organizaron, sistematizaron e interpretaron mediante la técnica de análisis de contenido. Resultados: Se pudo constatar que, en los lugares objeto de estudio, persiste el uso de prácticas de medicina tradicional por parte de las personas migrantes. Se percibe un descontento general hacia los sistemas de atención de medicina occidental (biomedicina) y un bajo porcentaje de uso de aplicaciones tecnológicas. Los datos constatan el uso de la medicina tradicional como práctica complementaria a la medicina biomedicina. Conclusiones: El entendimiento del proceso de salud – enfermedad – atención está profundamente influenciado por la cultura y la cosmovisión del lugar de origen, pero ha experimentado transformaciones debido al contacto y a las adaptaciones del lugar donde se encuentran. La manera de vivir la salud y la enfermedad en el individuo, reúne nociones históricas, económicas y socioculturales, en forma de creencias presentes en la conciencia colectiva, por lo que individuo permanece conectado a las experiencias previas de su cultura, a la medicina tradicional de su región y a las adaptaciones que surjan mientras encuentra en su ser el proceso de sanación. [EN]birthplace, with a specific focus on exploring their decision-making processes regarding health issues. This study aims to understand their perceptions of the health-disease-care continuum, particularly in relation to their views on traditional medicine and Western medicine (biomedicine) in the context of contemporary technological advancements. Methods: This anthropological study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data within a micro-ethnographic framework. It was conducted over an 11-week period, from February 2024 to May 2024, involving informants of various nationalities encountered during travels through Canada, Germany, and the United States. Fieldwork included data collection through semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and questionnaires. The gathered data were organized, systematized, and interpreted using content analysis techniques. Results: The study found that, in the regions examined, migrants of Asian origin continue to use traditional medicine practices. There is a general dissatisfaction with Western medical care systems (biomedicine) and a low percentage of technological application usage. The data indicate that traditional medicine is often used as a complementary practice alongside biomedicine. Conclusions: The understanding of the health-disease-care continuum is profoundly influenced by the culture and worldview of one's place of origin, but it undergoes transformations due to the contact and adaptations in the new location. An individual's experience of health and illness integrates historical, economic, and socio-cultural notions embedded in the collective consciousness, maintaining a connection to their cultural heritage, traditional medicine practices, and adaptations encountered during their healing process.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
