Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce travail de mémoire porte sur le processus d'insertion sociale et économique des personnes vivant des problèmes de santé mentale. Le travail est devenu un important véhicule d'intégration sociale. En effet, on prétend que la pratique d'un métier serait pour les personnes souffrant de problèmes de santé un outil de rétablissement et de mieux-être, car elle permet de réduire les symptômes et l'incidence des hospitalisations. Le travail permet, également, d'augmenter les interactions sociales et de contribuer activement à la société. Il existe, toutefois, d'autres véhicules d'intégration qui semblent, sous certains angles, apporter les mêmes avantages. Les activités bénévoles améliorent la qualité de vie, favorisent les interactions sociales et donnent, à l'individu, l'occasion de contribuer à sa communauté. Par ailleurs, le retrait social peut être un moyen de s'éloigner des pressions sociales et de s'accorder une pause bénéfique. On soutient que les personnes ayant un problème de santé mentale qui ont une lecture positive de leur situation de marginalité tendent à être moins hospitalisées. S'appuyant sur une démarche qualitative, ce travail de recherche a tenté de cerner les perspectives, les questionnements et les perceptions des personnes ayant un trouble mental à l'égard d'un processus d'intégration socioprofessionnelle, de participation sociale et de retrait social. Des entrevues semi-dirigées ont été menées auprès de onze personnes, et grâce à ces entretiens, un portrait au regard de leurs parcours social et professionnel a pu être brossé. Les entretiens ont permis d'explorer l'impact des problèmes de santé mentale sur leur réalité et sur leur identité, leurs représentations du marché de l'emploi et les motifs qui justifient le choix de s'engager ou de renoncer à un processus d'intégration socioprofessionnelle. Les résultats de cette recherche ont permis d'identifier cinq facteurs qui peuvent influencer la décision des personnes qui sont le rapport à l'environnement social, l'identité, le rapport aux institutions de l'État, les discours de légitimation et les perspectives d'avenir. Les résultats démontrent que l'on ne peut isoler les notions de vulnérabilité, d'autonomie, de bien-être ou de stabilité dans une phase spécifique. La vulnérabilité, l'autonomie, le bien-être et la stabilité sont des états que l'on peut vivre en situation de retrait social, de participation sociale et d'intégration socioprofessionnelle. Selon les circonstances et l'état émotif, ils peuvent être des modes adaptés ou inadaptés.

Download or read book Facteurs pr dictifs de la d pression chez les gens souffrant d anxi t sociale written by Marie-Andrée Plante-Jean and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La phobie sociale et la dépression sont deux troubles souvent retrouvés en comorbidité. Plusieurs études ont démontré que la phobie sociale se manifestait en premier et constituerait ainsi un facteur de risque pour le développement de la dépression. Toutefois, aucune étude à ce jour n'a identifié les facteurs plus précis associés à l'anxiété sociale qui pouvaient mener à la dépression. La présente thèse se propose de répondre à cette question par le biais de deux études. La première vise à identifier un ensemble de facteurs permettant de prédire la présence d'un épisode dépressif majeur au cours des douze derniers mois dans un large échantillon représentatif de gens souffrant de phobie sociale, en vérifiant plus spécifiquement le rôle de la qualité de vie et du soutien social. L'étude est réalisée auprès de 1189 personnes ayant reçu un diagnostic de phobie sociale, à l'aide des données de / 'Enquête sur la Santé dans les collectivités canadiennes (ESCC): Santé mentale et bien-être (cycle 1.2), menée par Statistique Canada en 2002. Une deuxième étude vise à identifier les médiateurs de la relation entre l'anxiété sociale et les symptômes dépressifs et à confirmer la séquence temporelle des relations proposées. Un modèle est élaboré et testé auprès de 321 personnes de la population générale, en majorité des étudiants, qui ont rempli des questionnaires sur différentes variables psychologiques. Une étude longitudinale est par la suite réalisée afin d'identifier des facteurs associés au développement, à la rémission et à la chronicité des symptômes dépressifs chez les personnes socialement anxieuses. De façon générale, les études confirment le rôle des cognitions, de l'évitement des expériences internes, des habiletés sociales, de l'évitement des situations sociales, de la qualité de vie et du soutien social dans l'augmentation du risque de présenter des symptômes dépressifs. Dans l'ensemble, les résultats pourraient permettre de cibler les personnes les plus à risque de développer une dépression parmi les personnes souffrant de phobie sociale, en plus de proposer des cibles d'intervention pouvant prévenir le développement de la dépression ou en favoriser la rémission, ou encore pouvant être priorisées chez les gens souffrant des deux troubles en comorbidité.

Its subject, reflected in the title "Sciences and Empires", is not a currently-accepted sub-discipline of the history of science; rather, it refers to a set of questions which found autonomy only recently. The terminology was strongly debated by the participants and, as is frequently suggested in this book, awaits fuller clarification.

Download or read book The linguistic integration of adult migrants from one country to another from one language to another written by Council of Europe and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The linguistic integration of migrants affects every aspect of settling in a new country (employment, health, etc.). The aim of this collection of texts is to propose a number of specific measures member states can take to help adult migrants become acquainted with the language of the host country. The main focus is on organising language courses that meet migrants’ real communication needs. It is not enough for authorities simply to consider the technical aspects of such courses, they should also design and conduct them in accordance with the fundamental values of the Council of Europe. A number of issues concerning the linguistic integration of adult migrants are presented here, beginning with the notion of linguistic integration itself. Family reunion, the nature of citizenship and the function of language tests, among others, are dealt with from the point of view of language and language use. Readers are invited to reflect on the type of language competences that need to be acquired as well as an appropriate use of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. The collection also sets out approaches and instruments designed to assist in implementing effective policies.

Download or read book Lifestyle Migration written by Michaela Benson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-06 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relatively affluent individuals from various corners of the globe are increasingly choosing to migrate, spurred on by the promise of a better and more fulfilling way of life within their destination. Despite its increasing scale, migration academics have yet to consolidate and establish lifestyle migration as a subfield of theoretical enquiry, until now. This volume offers a dynamic and holistic analysis of contemporary lifestyle migrations, exploring the expectations and aspirations which inform and drive migration alongside the realities of life within the destination. It also recognizes the structural conditions (and constraints) which frame lifestyle migration, laying the groundwork for further intellectual enquiry. Through rich empirical case studies this volume addresses this important and increasingly common form of migration in a manner that will interest scholars of mobility, migration, lifestyle and culture across the social sciences.
