Abstract

This article discusses the overlooked role of recreation programmes in the ethnocultural and cultural-specific long-term care home from my standpoint as a recreation worker. First, the policy during the pandemic that prohibited visits by family members and volunteers revealed that they are important informal caregivers to fill in for the limitations of workers. Second, recreational programmes can also be considered as a practice of cultural inheritance: staff and volunteers learn their history and reconstruct them as collective memory. Third, the interaction between residents, volunteers, families and workers generates a sense of belonging to the ethnic community. Therefore, it can be considered a practice of community building for minority ethnic groups. By presenting the significant role of recreation workers in a long-term care home, I aim to question the meaning and value of care work in long-term care facilities.

加拿大民族文化长期护理院:文化传承与社区建设的场所
本文从我作为一名娱乐工作者的角度,讨论了娱乐项目在民族文化和文化特定长期护理院中被忽视的作用。首先,大流行期间禁止家庭成员和志愿者探望的政策表明,他们是重要的非正式照顾者,可以填补工作人员的局限性。其次,娱乐项目也可以被视为文化传承的一种实践:工作人员和志愿者了解他们的历史,并将其重建为集体记忆。第三,居民、志愿者、家庭和工人之间的互动产生了对民族社区的归属感。因此,它可以看作是少数民族社区建设的一种实践。通过展示娱乐工作者在长期护理院中的重要作用,我的目的是质疑长期护理机构中护理工作的意义和价值。
