However, few studies in the US have focused on the decision-making processes of parents who consent to vaccinations. Instead, scholars have focused on US-born parents who reject or delay immunizations. This study uses an intersectional lens to analyze in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 41 Vietnamese American parents residing in Southern California to study how they came to their decisions about immunizing their children with specific vaccines. It found that even though parents varied in socioeconomic status and reported trust in immunizations and the US healthcare system, their vaccine decision-making processes included three dynamic tactics before consenting: accessing and evaluating vaccine information from professional and informal networks, independently researching vaccine literature, and asking healthcare providers additional vaccine-related questions. For these parents, receiving advanced and culturally competent vaccine notifications and recommendations influenced their active participation in the decision-making process. Illuminating how these parents command their agency by deliberately engaging in multi-step vaccine decision-making processes, these findings challenge the racialization of Asian Americans as model minorities who passively cooperate with medical recommendations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":74862,"journal":{"name":"SSM.

Our aim was to understand the influence of experiences within the UK asylum system on vaccine confidence and decision-making from a sociological perspective.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>In-depth semi-structured interviews were carried out on views and experiences around vaccination (09/2020-08/2021) with individuals seeking asylum or having recently been granted asylum (&lt;10 years in the UK). Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed and analysed in NVivo 12 using a reflexive thematic analysis through an inductive approach.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>25 participants were interviewed (mean age: 37 years, mean time in UK: 6 years, 72% female), of whom 13 were living in asylum accommodation at the time of interview. Analysis generated three main themes: 1) the detrimental impact of trauma and fear, both within the UK asylum system and prior, on perceptions of risk and vaccination decisions, 2) the effect of marginalisation, discrimination and neglect within the asylum system on an individual's trust and 3) the structural violence and restricted agency imposed on asylum seekers and its effect on ability and motivation to vaccinate. Past trauma or negative experiences since arriving in the UK, such as feeling forced to receive ‘invasive’ healthcare interventions in asylum accommodation may lead to distrust, increased perception of danger and avoidance of perceived ‘risks’ such as vaccination. Participants described how their struggle to cover basic necessities, social isolation and precarious living conditions imposed by the asylum system left them with more pressing priorities than vaccination. Participants who perceived that they had been cared for with empathy in the healthcare system or who described feeling empowered to make their own decision about vaccination often suggested they would be likely to accept vaccination if offered.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>Asylum seekers and refugees have often experienced substantial trauma and precarity and have a lack of agency directly imposed on them by the asylum system. These factors are likely to impact trust and decision-making around vaccination, with some also representing systemic or structural barriers to accessing services. Formative experiences in the UK are key to establishing trust in healthcare settings; a trauma-informed approach should be central in developing vaccination interventions for these groups, particularly in asylum accommodation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":74862,"journal":{"name":"SSM.

Currently, most available evidence approaches this problem from an adult-centered perspective. Our study used visual methodology to critically analyze the sociocultural and environmental factors which may promote emotional health in adolescents residing in a cross-cultural neighborhood in Barcelona. Photo-elicitation was used to capture the perspective of 86 adolescents aged 15–17 years in a privately-owned but state-funded school. The sample included 43 boys, 42 girls, and 1 person whose gender was not specified. 44 participants had at least one parent born outside of Spain. Each participant submitted a photograph, which was used to share personal narratives by inspiring discussions about the context and significance of the image in group settings and through individual written reflections. The resulting image-text units were analyzed collaboratively during group discussions, followed by data organization, coding, and thematic analysis. Most photographs were situated in the Barcelona metropolitan area, and the most commonly photographed location was inside the home. Well-being was intricately tied to emotional bonds with family, pets, and, to a lesser extent, friendship. Additionally, well-being was associated with nature, physical activity, and creativity. Important gender differences were observed highlighting the continued influence of conventional gender norms, and the family's migration history emerged as a relevant axis influencing emotional health. This study highlights the importance of forging participatory spaces for dialogue, both among peers and between adolescents and adults. By amplifying the voices and experiences of adolescents, these findings contribute to a nuanced understanding of the factors influencing emotional well-being and can provide insight into future research and interventions by directly considering the adolescent perspective.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":74862,"journal":{"name":"SSM.

Medico-clinical research reports good communicative outcomes, especially for those individuals implanted early and who receive aural-verbal habilitation. However, as revealed by studies of other groups with hearing loss, research into pragmatic skills finds variable conversational problems, and quantitative psychosocial studies report more difficulties compared with hearing control groups. These findings pose questions about how everyday social interaction and participation in key settings of socialization occur outside test settings. Developing micro-sociological explanations from Erving Goffman's work and theories of ritual interaction, this article presents a framework that explains problematic findings as resulting from micro-interactional barriers in face-to-face situations. Informal group situations and noise make participants fall out of sync in their interactions, which facilitates micro-social exclusion and defensive strategies. This explanation is qualified in the context of Denmark with an interview-based analysis of how young adults implanted as children have experienced micro-barriers across school trajectories and informal group participations. Furthermore, their experiences suggest that domains of matchup, including multi-modal communication, can be decisive for supporting social participation of children and adolescents with hearing loss in mainstream society.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":74862,"journal":{"name":"SSM.

Especially in the case of long-stay hospitalization, the emotional and physical burden makes them “secondary patients”. As the recent “compassion turn” in healthcare normatively maintains, the staff's individual communicative competences are crucial for providing empathic and compassionate forms of care, oriented to the ecology of family life. However, personal skills and interpersonal communication cannot alone fulfill the requirements of compassion-oriented patient- and family-centered care. A question arises as to how to move from individual-based compassion toward a compassionate healthcare environment. Which organizational conditions, artifact-based supports can foster taking care of the patient's relatives' suffering? Drawing on scholarship on sociomaterality, this paper reports findings from a corpus-based study on a narrative-care practice implemented in three Italian ICUs: the visitors' book (VB). Integrating artifact analysis and texts analysis, we illustrate how VB accomplishes organizational compassion, therefore ventriloquizing the ward's orientation toward it. We advance that adopting VB in an ICU can be a way to enact context-based, situated and distributed compassion-oriented family-centered care, which can complement forms of care relying on individual attitudes and interpersonal communication skills.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":74862,"journal":{"name":"SSM.

Yet, like other health clinics, SBHCs struggle to overcome structural and interpersonal stigma related to mental health conditions and support.

Consistent with Stangl et al.’s (2019) framework for health-related stigma, mental-health-related stigma is evident in this study in terms of the secondary stigma youth are reported to experience from peers and families in terms of visiting a SBHC for mental health services, as well as in limitations in the quantity and quality of resources dedicated to providing mental health services.
