摘要

背景有证据表明,无证、无人陪伴的移民青年在美国农业部门工作时会面临情感和身体上的困难。本定性研究旨在探讨危地马拉移民青年可获得的支持类型、对来美工作的期望以及从无证工作中学到的生活经验。方法共有 10 名无人陪伴的危地马拉青年(年龄在 15-17 岁之间,Mage = 16.4 岁;100% 男性;100% 无证)参加了在美国东南部进行的个人半结构化录音访谈。结果专题分析产生了三个相互关联的主要专题:(1)"通过向他人伸出援手来应对和处理悲伤情绪",(2)"我有一个梦想,但后来,现实来临了",以及(3)"给未来移民的人生教训"。除了这些能力之外,这些青年还与留守家庭建立了社会网络,发展并利用新的社会关系来 "管理悲伤",并在远离原籍国的地方建立了一个紧密团结的社区。

Lessons from the Field: Seeking Support and Sharing Wisdom Among Unaccompanied Guatemalan Migrant Youths in U.S. Agriculture

Background

There is evidence to suggest that undocumented, unaccompanied migrant youths confront emotional and physical hardships while working in the U.S. agriculture industry. However, little is known about the type of support available to these youths that could protect them from negative developmental outcomes.

Objective

This qualitative research was designed to explore Guatemalan migrant youths’ available support types, expectations of coming to the U.S. for work, and the life lessons learned from being undocumented, unaccompanied minors in the agriculture industry.

Methods

A total of 10 unaccompanied Guatemalan youths (age range 15–17 years, Mage = 16.4 years; 100% male; 100% undocumented) participated in individual semi-structured audio-voice-recorded interviews in the Southeast. Interview responses were transcribed, coded, and analyzed.

Results

Thematic analysis yielded three primary interconnected themes: (1) “Coping and managing sadness by reaching out to others,” (2) “I have a dream but then, reality hits,” and (3) “Life lessons for future migrants.”

Conclusion

Findings suggest that despite their vulnerable social position, Guatemalan migrant youth in U.S. agriculture displayed an optimistic attitude, exercised persistence, and developed resourcefulness. Besides these competencies, youth possessed social networks with left-behind families, developed and leveraged new social ties to “manage sadness,” and built a tight-knit community away from their countries of origin.

期刊介绍: Child & Youth Care Forum is a peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary publication that welcomes submissions – original empirical research papers and theoretical reviews as well as invited commentaries – on children, youth, and families. Contributions to Child & Youth Care Forum are submitted by researchers, practitioners, and clinicians across the interrelated disciplines of child psychology, early childhood, education, medical anthropology, pediatrics, pediatric psychology, psychiatry, public policy, school/educational psychology, social work, and sociology as well as government agencies and corporate and nonprofit organizations that seek to advance current knowledge and practice. Child & Youth Care Forum publishes scientifically rigorous, empirical papers and theoretical reviews that have implications for child and adolescent mental health, psychosocial development, assessment, interventions, and services broadly defined. For example, papers may address issues of child and adolescent typical and/or atypical development through effective youth care assessment and intervention practices. In addition, papers may address strategies for helping youth overcome difficulties (e.g., mental health problems) or overcome adversity (e.g., traumatic stress, community violence) as well as all children actualize their potential (e.g., positive psychology goals). Assessment papers that advance knowledge as well as methodological papers with implications for child and youth research and care are also encouraged.
