Malgré la reconnaissance des effets qui leur sont attribués, peu de travaux portent sur les processus s’opérant dans ces interventions. L’objectif de cet article est d’identifier ces processus et de mieux comprendre leur influence sur l’expérience de groupe. Pour ce faire, le modèle des facteurs d’aide (FA) a été retenu. Des entrevues semi-dirigées ont été réalisées auprès de 23 sujets âgés de 17 à 21 ans ayant participé à une expédition de 18 jours. Les éléments-clés de l’INA sont les suivants : la multitude de défis, la déstabilisation, la relation entre les enseignants et les participants et le milieu naturel. Ensuite, leur relation avec les FA est mise en relief. Il est question de : l’altruisme, les comportements d’imitation, la cohésion, la connaissance de soi, le partage d’information, l’universalité et les techniques de socialisation. Les apprentissages interpersonnels, la catharsis, l’espoir, les facteurs existentiels et la récapitulation corrective de la famille sont absents. Ces résultats mettent en lumière l’interaction entre les éléments-clés de l’INA et les FA, et la pertinence de s’y intéresser en travail social de groupe.A number of studies have addressed outdoor and adventure programs over the past fifty years. Despite empirical evidence that demonstrates the personal benefits of these programs, research investigating the key features responsible for these effects is scarce. The purpose of this article is to identify them and understand their influence. In order to achieve this goal, the data were examined from the perspective of helping factors (HFs). Semi-structured interviews were undertaken with 23 subjects aged between 17 and 21 who had participated in an 18 day expedition. The results show that participation in the program promoted key features: multiple challenges, the experience of destabilization, the relationship between the facilitators and group members and finally, the experience of being in wilderness. Then, relationships between key features and HFs are highlighted. Many of them are found: altruism, imitative behavior, cohesiveness, self-understanding, imparting information, development of socializing techniques, and universality. Interpersonal learning, catharsis, hope, existential factors, and corrective recapitulation of the primary family group are absent. These results give a better understanding of how key features interact with HFs in nature and adventure settings and its relevance in social work with groups.","PeriodicalId":91690,"journal":{"name":"Groupwork : an interdisciplinary journal for working with groups","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48140378","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}

L’objectif de cette recherche était d’identifier les motivations des pères à s’engager dans un processus de réflexion et d’action au sein d’un groupe, d’en apprendre plus sur leur expérience tout au long de ce processus, de comprendre ce qui a changé dans leur vision de la masculinité et de la paternité, puis de connaître la manière dont ils actualisent leur projet de vie au regard d’éventuels changements. Des entrevues semi-dirigées ont été menées auprès de onze pères impliqués dans huit groupes de soutien au Québec. Les résultats révèlent que les rapports sociaux (par exemple, la relation avec la conjointe ou l’ex-conjointe, avec les enfants, avec les femmes et avec les autres hommes en général) s’en trouvent modifiés, voire améliorés. En outre, la reconstruction des rapports à soi-même et aux autres semble être à la fois le principal défi de ces hommes et la source de leur plus grande satisfaction.This article aims to understand the journeys of men who participated in fathers’ groups in the context of the upheavals that the Western family has experienced in recent decades. It is based on the results of a study that aimed to identify the motivations of fathers who engaged in a process of reflection and action within these support groups; to examine their experience of this process, to understand what has changed in their vision of masculinity and fatherhood through this experience; and explore how they update their life plans in the light of possible changes. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eleven fathers involved in eight different groups in Quebec. The findings reveal that social relationships, including relationships with partners, or ex-partners, children, women, and other men in general, evolved and in some cases improved. In addition, the reconstruction of relationships with oneself and others seems to be both the main challenge as well as the greatest satisfaction of these men.","PeriodicalId":91690,"journal":{"name":"Groupwork : an interdisciplinary journal for working with groups","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44067145","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}

En huit ou neuf rencontres de deux heures et demie (2 h 30) chacune, la démarche vise à sensibiliser les proches aidants à l’expérience morale vécue dans l’exercice de leur rôle. Les écrits démontrent que ce sont les dilemmes éthiques rencontrés au quotidien qui contribuent le plus à l’épuisement des aidants et que cette expérience de soin peut s’avérer moralement douloureuse pour certains. Basées sur un modèle théorique qui décline en sept processus la construction du sentiment de responsabilité morale qui incombe aux aidants, les activités proposées aux membres permettent une réflexion éthique qui donne un nouveau sens à leur rôle. Plusieurs de ces activités sont décrites dans l’article, où est soulignée la possibilité de combiner les dimensions psychosociale et philosophique en intervention de groupe. La discussion fait néanmoins ressortir que le groupe SEMA ne correspond pas tout à fait aux caractéristiques d’un groupe d’éducation, ni à celles d’un groupe de délibération éthique ou de communauté de recherche philosophique. En fin de compte, l’approche d’intervention proposée et la vision du rôle de l’intervenant nous amènent à conclure que le groupe SEMA peut être désigné comme un groupe d’éducation philosophique ou « philo-éducatif ».  This article presents the characteristics and program of an educational, innovative group who deals with caregivers. For a given period of 8-9 meetings of two hours each, the group’s goal is to heighten awareness of caregivers with regard to their moral experience when performing their role. Indeed, studies show that it is these daily, ethical dilemmas that contribute the most to their burden and that this experience can be very painful, morally, for some. Based on a theoretical model which includes seven processes dealing with the moral sense of responsibility that comes with being a caregiver, the activities proposed in the group allow an ethical reflection which gives new meaning to their role. Several of these activities are described in this article, putting an emphasis on the possibility of combining the psychosocial and philosophical dimensions in group interventions. However, the discussion shows that this group does not quite fit the characteristics of an education, or an ethical deliberation group, or a philosophical research community. Finally, the intervention approach adopted by? the stakeholder’s role in this particular group lead us to conclude that it can be referred to as a “philo-educational’ group","PeriodicalId":91690,"journal":{"name":"Groupwork : an interdisciplinary journal for working with groups","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42237364","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}

Cet article présente un groupe d’aide mutuelle au sein de l’organisme Deuil-Jeunesse de Québec (Canada) auprès de jeunes aidants de 12 à 17 ans : les participants assumaient un rôle d’aidant dans un contexte de deuil. La démarche de huit rencontres visait à leur offrir un lieu où échanger, briser l’isolement et démystifier leur rôle. L’entrevue individuelle pré- et post-groupe, le journal de bord de l’intervenante et la grille d’observation des dynamiques d’aide mutuelle ont permis d’évaluer l’intervention. Les résultats mettent en lumière la méconnaissance sociale et individuelle de cette problématique ainsi que les besoins spécifiques des jeunes aidants. Les principaux bénéfices de cette approche sont l’acquisition d’un soutien significatif, le cheminement des jeunes vers la reconnaissance de leur rôle et la réalisation d’un projet artistique visant à sensibiliser la population. Cette étude se penche donc sur les enjeux du travail social de groupe auprès de populations méconnues, la force de l’aide mutuelle, le groupe considéré comme un vecteur de changement et les défis liés au manque d’identification à la situation qui réunit les participants.The caregiving role that young people are sometimes required to undertake with their parents is all too often overlooked, although various studies show the presence of this reality even in adolescence. This article presents a mutual aid group within the ‘Deuil-Jeunesse’ Québec (Canada) organization which deals with 12 to 17 year-olds. As a result, participants undertook their caregiver role in a context of grief. The group of eight meetings is aimed at offering them a place to exchange, break the isolation and demystify their role. The pre- and post-group individual interview, the practitioner’s logbook and observation grid dealing with mutual aid dynamics, made it possible to evaluate the intervention. The results highlight the social and individual misunderstanding of this problem as well as the young caregivers’ specific needs. The acquisition of important support, the journey of young people towards recognition of their role and the realization of an artistic project in order to raise public awareness, constitute the main benefits. Finally, the issues of group intervention with hidden populations, the strength of mutual aid, as well as the group as a vector of change and the challenges related to the lack of identification of the problem that brings them together are discussed.","PeriodicalId":91690,"journal":{"name":"Groupwork : an interdisciplinary journal for working with groups","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47797295","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}
