Managing uncertainty by adopting a hybrid way of knowing: investigating the mangle-ish approach of ICU patients’ caregivers

The participant observation that I conducted during late 2013 through early 2014 in a Taiwanese medical center guides me to acknowledge the hybrid way of knowing that intensive care unit (ICU) patients' caregivers adopt to cope with illness. On the one hand, ICU patients' caregivers rely o...

520 |a The participant observation that I conducted during late 2013 through early 2014 in a Taiwanese medical center guides me to acknowledge the hybrid way of knowing that intensive care unit (ICU) patients' caregivers adopt to cope with illness. On the one hand, ICU patients' caregivers rely on modern medicine to understand their family member's circumstances; on the other, they depend on folk-religious beliefs to tell them what happened, is happening, and even what should be expected to happen to their family member's life situation. Moreover, other caregivers' experiences and knowledge also play an important role for them. I point out that ICU patients' families perform a "dance of agency" to improvise a "collage" to manage uncertainty by hybridizing. By providing a thick description of caregivers' case, this article echoes the implicit tradition of conceptualizing hybridization in the social sciences and advances understandings of the epistemological hybridity of laypeople.
