metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This article presents the results of an empirical study of the narrative “reports” of patients from
  СOVID wards, conducted by them in different waves of the pandemic (2020–2021) on social
  media. The subject of the analysis is the motives for conducting these reports and the typology
  of patients’ narratives posted on the social network. The analysis was based on the idea of a
  “digital sickness style” (the combination of the patient’s “sickness role”, family and professional
  roles and the narrative of illness and treatment while in hospital thanks to the mobile Internet)
  and the theory of patient storytelling developed by representatives of the “narrative turn” in
  medical social research. Qualitative analysis of posts (texts and photos) through a netnography
  optic also took into account the network communication pragmatics, commentators’
  reactions to the posts of narrators, affecting the pace and content of patients’ postings. The
  study identified three motives for online posting by COVID ward patients — to be a source
  of reliable, first-hand ethnographic knowledge about what is happening in hospital wards, to
  reassure their online audience, and to gain emotional and informational support from them.
  The study also identified three types of narratives posted by patients — the “restitution narrative”, “quest narrative”, “angry narrative”. As additional findings, the article offers observations
  on the differences in the online narratives of СOVID and non-СOVID patients, as well as a
  number of other constitutive effects of health narrative exchange on the Internet.
