This research aims to identify and analyze the strengthening of Empowerment, self-efficacy, and motivation to increase teacher creativity. The method used in this research is quantitative research using survey methods. Data analysis techniques in this study use path analysis techniques (path analysis). The population in this study was 414 teachers spread across 134 institutions in 40 districts of Bogor Regency. The results showed a significant relationship between Empowerment, self-efficacy, motivation, and creativity of kindergarten teachers in the Bogor Regency area. This research implies that to increase teachers' creativity in Kindergartens accredited B in Bogor Regency, it is necessary to strengthen Empowerment, self-efficacy, and motivation. Empowerment can be done through giving authority, building self-confidence, authority in decision-making, sharing knowledge, and increasing a sense of contribution. Self-efficacy can be increased by increasing self-confidence, motivation to complete tasks, commitment, high performance, and resilience in facing problems. Motivation can be increased through internal and external factors that affect the drive to work effectively.

Purpose Children who are refugees and who live with disabilities are among the most at-risk groups for marginalization due to compounded disadvantages from the intersection of risk factors such as refugee status and disability status. Despite their high risk, there is no systematic data collected on this group and scant literature on the topic contributing to a feeling of invisibility. The purpose of this study is to better understand the experiences of Syrian refugee families with children living with disabilities. Design/methodology/approach The authors conducted a narrative inquiry into the experiences of two Syrian refugee families with children living with disabilities. Narrative inquiry is a way to understand experience as a storied phenomenon. Findings In attending to the families’ stories of their experiences across time, place and social contexts, two narrative threads resonated across their experiences including waiting and a struggle for agency as well as disruption and continuity. Research limitations/implications Narrative inquiry does not produce generalizable results but, rather, gives insight into the unique experiences of individuals. Originality/value To understand the complexities of the experience of a refugee family with a child living with disabilities, attending to their lived and told stories is essential.

Purpose The purpose of this paper was to explore the health of trafficking survivors in Spain, which is relatively unstudied (Sweileh, 2018). Therefore, the objectives of this study are to describe the health conditions, access to health-care facilities, COVID-19 protection and health challenges in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic reported by women survivors of human trafficking in Spain. Design/methodology/approach Due to the pandemic situation, limited research and the complexity of the issue, the authors took a qualitative approach. A cross-sectional study was carried out through interviews with women survivors of human trafficking for sexual exploitation in Spain. Prior to the interviews, the researchers conducted written interviews with social workers to understand the most important challenges that the women survivors were experiencing during confinement. As a result of these written interviews, the interview script for the survivors was modified. Findings To sum up, the COVID-19 situation poses several challenges, including social difficulties (food insecurity; violence; terrible housing conditions; working pressure; poor sleeping habits; and cultural, linguistic and religious challenges), medical insecurity (due to lockdowns, negative experiences in care, lack of official documents, collapse of hospitals, telephone monitoring and fear of contagion), great emotional distress reported by women (anxiety, fear, sadness, post-traumatic stress disorder, stigma and substance use) and physical health problems (serious weight loss, muscle pains, dental problems and sexual and reproductive health-care limitations). Research limitations/implications As is usual in qualitative research, rather than obtain generalizable results, the main objective was to delve deeper into under-researched or complex issues (Polit and Beck, 2010). While this report provides a timely overview marked by COVID-19 of an important population, there are some limitations. The major limitation of this research was the sample representativity, because the sample was conducted with only one non-governmental organization and only individuals who voluntarily agreed to make the interview; as such, other victim profiles may not be represented. Practical implications The findings can provide information for detecting victims of human trafficking for sexual exploitation and contribute to understanding the pandemic’s impact. Furthermore, the paper emphasizes the need to adopt measures for the recovery of victims, such as medical and psychological assistance, in accordance with the Palermo Protocol. As people transition out of the pandemic, it is crucial for Spain, along with other European countries, to guarantee that all residents, particularly the victims of human trafficking, have access to social and health-care protections during times of crisis. Social implications As already mentioned, further investigation should be done to fill the gaps on health of human trafficki

Purpose Migrants face some unique health-care challenges, which often remain unaddressed by the health system. The purpose of this study is to determine health-care access among migrants in Chhattisgarh, from a lens of health equity. Design/methodology/approach This study was conducted in a government-built tenement under the Integrated Housing and Slum Development program in Bilaspur district of Chhattisgarh state of India. It is a mixed-methods study which used a survey method, focus group discussion, in depth-interviews, semi-structured interviews and non-participant observations of health facilities in the area. Respondents included residents (migrants) and other local stakeholders like the Chief Medical Officer of the district, elected representatives of the local government and frontline health workers. This paper focuses on the findings from the qualitative component of the study. Findings The move to resettle the people living in the slums to the periphery of the city had a negative impact on their health-care access. They find it difficult to access public health services, given the services are concentrated in the city. Women, elderly people and disabled people grapple with additional challenges in being able to access basic reproductive health services and care for chronic illnesses. Equity in health-care access is linked to various social determinants of health including access to housing and social security. However, the authors found that the migrant community is being deprived of appropriate housing facilities and social security. Originality/value This paper explores the health-care access of internal migrants in Chhattisgarh state of India in the larger context of urban development with a focus on health equity.

Purpose The refugee journey is fraught with challenges before, during and after resettlement. There is a critical need for mental health support upon arrival, and refugees face language, cultural and logistical barriers. Arts-based therapies are a promising approach to mitigating such barriers. The purpose of this study was to elicit professional stakeholder perspectives on mental health challenges among refugees, the value of arts-based programs and future directions. Design/methodology/approach The authors conducted three 90-min focus groups with 19 professional stakeholders in North Carolina, USA. This included mental health professionals, professors and community services/resettlement workers. Participants were identified from professional networks and snowball sampling. Each group was held by videoconference, audio recorded and transcribed. Data were analyzed through a team-based approach using applied thematic qualitative analysis. Findings Interviewees described a need for targeted, culturally compatible mental health services for refugee families, including trauma-informed, family-focused services with language interpretation. Arts-based therapies were viewed as highly acceptable and culturally responsive approaches for understanding distress and building resilience and less stigmatizing than traditional mental health services. Services in schools and community settings would further reduce stigma and minimize logistical barriers. Participants identified needing strong, culturally sensitive assessment tools to measure treatment progress as a key future direction. Originality/value The study offers novel insights into the value of arts-based approaches and considerations for program development. The next phase of the project will obtain the perspectives of refugee parents and children to understand client preferences for arts-based therapies.

This study seeks to throw some light on child abuse worrisome social ill. The research focused on secondary data available of different countries, particularly Pakistan. Content analysis is carried out. Various forms of malpractices on children such as sexual abuse, neglect, physical and emotional harm were mentioned as some of the ills perpetrated against them by step mothers, uncles, non-relatives and sometimes their parents. Even though the most frequent forms of these abuses varied from one region to another, some of them such as neglect, sexual abuse and physical harm were reported in almost all the regions. Early and forced marriage was declared by some discussants in the northern regions especially among the Moslem community. The reported causes of these ill-treatments are jealousy from childless step mothers, ignorance, false accusation of witchcraft and stealing, polygamy, poverty, consumption of alcohol and substance abuse.

The salon environment is a zone where the workers are exposed to numerous hazardous chemicals, physical and ergonomic challenges. Salon operators have been reported to exhibit a lot of respiratory, allergic and systemic symptoms. The study was done to determine the demographic patterns of the health problems using a descriptive cross sectional study. 1,200 salon operators in ten tertiary institutions in Rivers State were selected for the study. Data was collected using a self- structured questionnaire, and analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistical on the statistical package for social science (SPSS). Alpha level was set at 0.05. The study revealed that health problems were reported among the salon operators with respiratory symptoms of sore throat (grand mean of 3.25) and Chest Pains (3.22) been the most prominent followed by skin conditions (3.13). Age, years of work experience and levels of education have a significant bearing on the health problems. The study concluded that salon operators in tertiary institutions in Rivers State go through a lot of health problems by reason of their profession which have a correlation with age years of work experience and education level. It was therefore recommended that salon operators should be enlightened on the use of personal protective equipment in the workplace.

The study revealed that health problems were reported among the salon operators with respiratory symptoms of sore throat (grand mean of 3.25) and Chest Pains (3.22) been the most prominent followed by skin conditions (3.13). Age, years of work experience and levels of education have a significant bearing on the health problems. The study concluded that salon operators in tertiary institutions in Rivers State go through a lot of health problems by reason of their profession which have a correlation with age years of work experience and education level. It was therefore recommended that salon operators should be enlightened on the use of personal protective equipment in the workplace.","PeriodicalId":44967,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Migration Health and Social Care","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73988554","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Purpose Community gardens are increasingly used as interventions during the resettlement of refugees and other migrants. Little is known about how garden programs might support their mental health and wellbeing. Given the links between climate change and forced migration, community gardens are especially relevant, as they can also support climate change mitigation. This study aims to document psychosocial outcomes of gardening programs for refugees and migrants, and mechanisms leading to these outcomes. Design/methodology/approach The authors searched major databases and the grey literature up to 2021, resulting in the inclusion of 17 peer-reviewed and 4 grey literature articles in a thematic, qualitative analysis. Findings Four consistent themes arose from the analysis: community gardening programs promoted continuity and adaptation (81% of articles), social connectedness (81%), overall wellbeing (95%) and a sense of meaning and self-worth (67%). The results suggest that community gardens can strengthen psychosocial pillars that are key to the recovery and resettlement of refugees and migrants. The land-based and social nature of community gardening may enable connections to the land and others, nurture a sense of belonging in the host country and provide a link to the past for those from agricultural backgrounds. Research limitations/implications Further participatory action research is needed to develop guidelines for the successful implementation of community gardens by resettlement organisations. Originality/value This review indicates that community gardens can be effective psychosocial interventions as part of a network of services supporting the resettlement of refugees and migrants.
