homes. This representation of family as a shelter in case of difficulties has been
prevailing within French family policies since the 1980s. In this paper, we
question this integrating role family played during the lockdown through an
on-line survey carried out during the shutdown. A sample of 4300 persons
sheds light on the experience of this exceptional period. Four main results
are presented in the article. Firstly, the residents of France of our sample
tended to join their partner or family members. Secondly, the regrouping
was gender-related: women were more often locked-downed with their
relatives. Thirdly, this regrouping is linked to age – young people were more
often welcomed in the households of their relatives than older adults or the
elderly. And fourthly, the education level is also a relevant factor of family
reunification for the lockdown.

Auteur(s) : Nicoletta Diasio et Virginie Vinel sont sociologues et anthropologues. Professeures à l'université de Strasbourg (Dynamiques européennes) et à l'université de Franche-Comté (UBFC-LASA), elles collaborent depuis plus de quinze ans à des recherches sur les passages des âges et le corps dans des moments denses de la vie, en les étudiant du point de vue des pratiques quotidiennes et médicales.
Cadre de la recherche : À l’articulation de la socioanthropologie de la famille et de la santé, la recherche interroge l’intervention de la famille à tous les âges de la vie et à différents temps de la gestion des problèmes de santé en zone rurale.
Objectifs : S’appuyant sur une recherche qualitative que nous avons menée en Lorraine (France), cet article examine les influences et les actions des membres du réseau familial et de l’entourage dans la construction des itinéraires de soins.
Méthodologie : En Lorraine rurale, une enquête socioanthropologique par entretiens semi-directifs a été réalisée de 2013 à 2015 auprès de 48 personnes âgées de 25 à 94 ans. Nous avons enquêté dans des territoires lorrains dits isolés et déficitaires en soins de premiers recours.
Résultats : La population rencontrée a intégré la norme d’individualisation du parcours de soins. Pourtant, la parenté est omniprésente : la sélection des praticiens de santé s’inscrit dans une démarche de domestication du territoire par le réseau familial, la lignée féminine est impliquée dans l’encadrement des soins des plus fragiles ; les conjoints agissent notablement dans des événements imprévus ou graves. Enfin, la parentèle et l’entourage sont mobilisés pour une surveillance vigilante.
Conclusions : Notre étude révèle que l’environnement de santé s’avère un espace domestiqué par la densité des relations de parenté et de proximité, et par l’intégration du système de soins au réseau élargi des familiers.
Contribution : Les solidarités autour de la santé sont issues d’une organisation sociale qui repose d’abord sur le couple, sur la lignée et sur la forte implication des femmes. Les hommes sont aussi des acteurs de ce réseau d’entraide dans des rôles de conduite, d’accompagnement et dans les cas inquiétants ou inhabituels. Les relations de collatérité et la parenté élective sont mobilisées en plus des liens verticaux ; elles incluent le voisinage pour une vigilance flottante et des services à la périphérie du soin.

Abstract
Title : Healthcare in Rural Areas : Domestication of the Care System and Individual Trajectories Embedded in Kinship Relations (Lorraine, France)
Research Framework : Throughout all stages of life and across all phases of managing health problems, the family is at the heart of structuring and organizing care pathways.
Objectives : Based on a qualitative research carried out in Lorraine (France), this article intends to examine the influence and actions of family members in the construction of therapeutic trajectories.
Methodology : A socio-anthropological survey of semi-directive interviews was carried out from 2013 to 2015 with 48 people in rural Lorraine. We investigated ‘isolated’ areas and locations with a shortfall of front-line care.
Results : In the population being studied, though individual standard for paths to care has been fully integrated, family ties remain omnipresent. The selection of health practitioners, for example, is made through a progression of regional processes by the family network. The women are implicated in the provision of care for the most fragile and male spouses act in unforeseen cases and during tragic events. Relatives and familial ties are mobilized to provide individuals in need with a system of vigilant monitoring.
Conclusions : Active across multiple therapeutic trajectories, the family environment is a fundamental factor in the management of health and illness. Gender, age, the type of parents, spatial proximity and economic status were all analyzed to reveal the mechanisms within family interventions. These interactions are the product of a complex exchange of gifts and counter-gifts.
Contribution : The senses of unity generated by issues of health are founded through relationships that include couples, family lineages and the weighty contributions of women. Men are also stakeholders in this network of caregiving, playing leadership roles and in the provision of support during worrisome and more unusual cases. Collateral relationships and elective relationships are also active in these situations along more vertical lines including the provision of a looser connection of supervision and through remote caregiving.
