Resumo: | The mass media are important for wide dissemination of health information. The frame of reference adopted in the reportage of health issues tends to influence people’s perception towards health related issues. Studies examining framing of health issues have found the me- dia wanting in their reportage of health. This study extends the frontier of framing analysis of health coverage in the media by examining framing of maternal and child healthcare (MCH) issues in Nigerian newspapers. Using the content analyses method, two categories of frames – public health frame, and coping versus alarm message frame – were examined in the study. Four national newspapers were purposively sampled over a 12-month period resulting in the analysis of 1,235 MCH-related editorial items. The study found minimal adoption of public health frame with only 12% adoption rate, and dominant adoption of coping frame over alarm frame with rare combination of both. The findings reflect the implication of greater reliance on official sources for health stories in the media, resulting in lack of context in reported stories to aid proper understanding of issues. The study calls for better framing of health related issues in the media to generate appropriate attention to possibly drive development in the health sector. |

O quadro de referência adoptado para reportar problemas de saúde tende a influenciar a percepção das pessoas em relação a questões relacionadas com a saúde. Estudos que analisaram o enquadramento noticioso das questões de saúde descobriram as lacunas dos meios de comunicação nas suas reportagens sobre saúde. Este estudo estende a fronteira da análise de enquadramento noticioso da cobertura da saúde nos meios de comunicação, examinando como são enquadradas as questões de saúde materna e infantil (SMI) em jornais nigerianos. Utilizando a metodologia de análise de conteúdo, duas categorias de enquadramentos — o quadro de saúde pública e coping versus alarme — foram estudadas no estudo. Para este propósito, foi composta uma amostra de quatro jornais num período de 12 meses, resultando na análise de 1.235 itens editoriais relacionados com SMI. O estudo aferiu uma adopção mínima do enquadramento de saúde pública, com uma taxa de apenas 12%, e a adopção dominante do quadro de cobertura sobre o enquadramento noticioso de alarme, sendo rara a combinação das duas categorias. As resultados refletem a implicação de uma maior confiança nas fontes oficiais sobre artigos de saúde nos meios de comunicação, resultando numa falta de contexto nas histórias relatadas que ajudem a um entendimento adequado dos problemas. O estudo sustenta um melhor enquadramento dos problemas relacionados com a saúde nos meios de comunicação social, para permitir uma atenção adequada que possa impulsionar o desenvolvimento do sector da saúde.Instituto Superior Miguel Torga2019-12-31info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.31211/interacoes.n37.2019.a2https://doi.org/10.31211/interacoes.n37.2019.a2Interações: Sociedade e as novas modernidades; No. 37; 34-57Interações: Sociedade e as novas modernidades; Núm. 37; 34-57Interações: Sociedade e as novas modernidades; N.º 37; 34-572184-39290873-0725reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPenghttps://www.interacoes-ismt.com/index.php/revista/article/view/444https://www.interacoes-ismt.com/index.php/revista/article/view/444/455Direitos de Autor (c) 2019 Raheemat Adeniran, Olujimi Kayode, Lai Osohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAdeniran, RaheematKayode, OlujimiOso, Lai2024-01-17T16:14:07Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/444Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T15:50:09.659229Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
