Duševno zdravje visoko izobraženih migrantk

Verderber, Sara (author)

Raziskovanje migracij skozi prizmo spola in visoke izobrazbe ter v odnosu do duševnega zdravja je redko. Migracijski poteki so prežeti s številnimi stresorji in ovirami novega okolja, ki posredno ali neposredno vplivajo na kakovost duševnega zdravja ter s tem na uspešnost integracije migrantk in migrantov v novo skupnost. V članku je opisan migracijski proces migrantk z visokošolsko izobrazbo na mikroravni in kako ta vpliva na njihovo duševno zdravje. Primarna metoda so bili narativni intervjuji s podpornima metodama etnografskega dnevnika in demografskega vprašalnika. Vzorčenje je potekalo po metodi snežene kepe. Raziskava je vključevala 36 oseb iz treh držav: Nizozemske, Nemčije in Slovenije. V kontekstu socialnega dela in migracij kritični pogled na mikroravni pomembno pripomore k boljšemu razumevanju vsakdanjega življenja migrantk in s tem tudi stanja njihovega duševnega zdravja. Tako si prizadevamo za socialno pravičnost, in sicer v obliki kulturne, socialne in družbeno-politične senzibilnosti in podpore za izboljšanje duševnega zdravja migrantk.

• Title: Mental health of highly educated migrant women

Abstract

Research on migration through the prism of gender and higher education, and in relation to mental health, is rare. Migration trajectories are fraught with many stressors and barriers of the new environment, which in turn directly or indirectly affects the quality of mental health and thus the successful integration of migrant women into the new community. In the article, the micro-level migration process of migrant women with higher education is described, and how it affects their mental health. The primary method was narrative interviews with the supporting methods of an ethnographic diary and a demographic questionnaire. The sampling was carried out using the snowball sampling method. The study included 36 subjects from the Netherlands, Germany and Slovenia. In the context of social work and migration, this is an important contribution to a better understanding of the daily lives of migrant women and thus the state of their mental health. This in turn leads to social justice in the form of cultural, social and socio-political sensitivity and support to improve the mental health of migrants.
