Abstract

ABSTRACT This study describes gambling motives, behavior, and help-seeking patterns in older Filipino-Canadians through a life-course perspective. Eighteen older Filipino gamblers, three social workers and four gambling service providers in a central Canadian city were interviewed. This study reveals that older Filipino gamblers’ conceptualization of gambling is greatly influenced by their culture of origin, their life trajectories, and their loved ones. Controlled gamblers hold positive to neutral views toward gambling, while problem gamblers generally hold negative views. For some of them, visiting casinos meets their need for active leisure activities. The study concludes with suggestions for social workers on working with older gamblers with minority cultural backgrounds.
了解菲律宾裔加拿大老年人的赌博:对少数文化背景的老年赌徒的社会工作干预建议
摘要本研究从生命历程的角度描述了菲律宾裔加拿大老年人的赌博动机、行为和求助模式。在加拿大中部城市,18名年长的菲律宾赌徒、三名社会工作者和四名赌博服务提供者接受了采访。这项研究表明,菲律宾老年赌徒对赌博的概念化在很大程度上受到他们的出身文化、生活轨迹和亲人的影响。受控赌徒对赌博持积极到中立的看法,而问题赌徒通常持负面看法。对他们中的一些人来说,参观赌场满足了他们积极休闲活动的需求。该研究最后为社会工作者提供了与具有少数民族文化背景的老年赌徒合作的建议。
