Resumo: Este trabalho teve como objetivo caracterizar a situação alimentar de uma amostra de famílias da reserva indígena de Guarita no estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Utilizou-se a metodologia desenvolvida por Galeazzi para inquérito de consumo familiar de alimentos. Adicionalmente, fez-se um levantamento de dados socioeconômicos, demográficos, da infra-estrutura e do saneamento básico bem como a situação quanto à utilização de políticas da área da alimentação e nutrição em uma amostra de 92 famílias. Após análise descritiva das variáveis, selecionou-se aquelas que melhor poderiam explicar as diferenças entre as famílias com menor ou maior consumo de calorias, utilizando-se para tanto o teste Pearson Chi-Square, sendo que o nível de significância determinado foi de 5%. Os resultados mostram que as famílias são numerosas, formadas majoritariamente por pessoas jovens. A maioria das pessoas ocupadas desenvolvem atividades na agricultura. A Cesta Básica de alimentos não atende as necessidades nutricionais. A atividade agrícola concentra-se nos seguintes produtos: milho, feijão, mandioca e batata-doce. A análise do consumo revelou que a média de calorias consumidas é de 2.115,55. No entanto 30,4% das famílias não atingem 80% do consumo de calorias em relação às necessidades, estando estas em situação de risco nutricional. A contribuição relativa da proteína no consumo calórico total é de 10,6%, sendo esta em maior parte de origem vegetal. Quanto ao consumo de vitaminas e sais minerais, mais de 90% das famílias pesquisadas não atingem 80% de adequação em relação as necessidades de cálcio e vitamina A, sendo também insuficientes para maioria das famílias o consumo de ferro, tiamina, riboflavina, niacina e vitamina C. O consumo de sal teve uma associação significativa com a hipertensão auto-referida (significância ao nível de 1%)
Abstract: This study aimed to characterize the nutritional situation of a sample of households in the Indian reservation of Guarita in the state of Rio Grande do Sul The method was developed by Galeazzi for investigation of household consumption of food. Additionally, it was a survey of socioeconomic data, demographic, infrastructure and sanitation and the state policies on the use of the area of food and nutrition in a sample of 92 families. After descriptive analysis of the variables selected to be those that could better explain the differences between families with lower or higher consumption of calories, using the test for both Pearson Chi-Square, where the level of significance was determined by 5% . The results show that families are numerous, trained mainly by young people. Most people are employed in farming activities. The basic basket of food does not meet the nutritional needs. The agricultural activity is concentrated in the following products: corn, beans, cassava and sweet potatoes. The analysis showed that the average consumption of calories consumed is to 2115.55. However 30.4% of households do not reach 80% of the consumption of calories in relation to needs, these are at nutritional risk. The relative contribution of the protein in total calorie intake is 10.6%, being in most of plant origin. As for the consumption of vitamins and minerals, over 90% of households surveyed did not reach 80% of suitability for the needs of calcium and vitamin A, is also insufficient for most families the consumption of iron, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin and vitamin C. The consumption of salt has had a significant association with self-reported hypertension (significance at 1%)

Full textBetween 1996 and 2000 around 300,000 people —mostly women— were sterilized in Peru when Alberto Fujimori was the president of the Government. This was the result of an anti-natalist family planning policy that Fujimori’s regime imposed in order to reduce the country's poverty at a time when Peru, on the verge of bankruptcy, needed to be refloated and integrated into international financial circles. With funding from the United States, the birth control policy focused on decreasing births in the poorest families who, in a segregationist country such as Peru, are among the indigenous people that historically have been suffering the State discrimination as a result of its public policies. To reach this number, some of these sterilizations were imposed —although it is also important to point out that this was not always the case — and the antinatalist program was soon questioned by the most influential social actors, on a political level, such as the Catholic Church and Human Rights organizations, whose job it was to report it to the judicial authorities, including international instances. So far Alberto Fujimori —who was sentenced to 25 years in prison for crimes of corruption and crimes against humanity, of which he has only served 10 after having been pardoned due to health issues— has never been convicted for those acts despite having been sued on several occasions that have always ended with an acquittal. Through this research topic, this thesis addresses the experience of sterilization from the perspective of some sterilized women and their families, taking into account their personal history as well as their family and community environment. The main purpose is to learn how the sterilized person has lived the experience in their own body and from their own identity in a social context where women have to bear the burden of fertility and motherhood to be seen as women. In addition, it seeks to explain the transformations that this experience has caused in family relationships and social roles to which people are subject under the categories of femininity and masculinity. As I said, not all sterilizations were imposed, on the contrary, there were also some women who decided to be sterilized. Putting the emphasis on this reality is precisely what gives this thesis a particular approach because it offers a little-known perspective that opens the possibility of questioning the victimized opinions that sometimes are projected about indigenous populations, to give prominence to their life trajectories and the specific causes that led them to make that decision. Recognizing these women as responsible for the decisions that affect their bodies displaces them from the imaginary of the defenseless victim and offers them a place as active agents of social mobilization. This work also seeks to rethink victimized public speeches to give sterilization a broader meaning within a context of a life where this decision challenges traditional values of gender and family where women are no longer seen as a passive subject. Through this perspective, this thesis situates the issue of sterilization as a matter that commits the family and allows us to discuss power relations and struggle for recognition in gender relations that mark both family and State-citizen relationships.

Full textIntroduction: This study objectifies the self-care practices and family caregiving to the Indigenous individual suffering from Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs). Objective: To analyze the self-care practices and family caregiving followed by the demographic and socioeconomic profile, assessment of the prevalence of Non-Communicable Diseases, identification of self-care practices, characteristics of the family caregiving and evaluation of the performance in the Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and in the Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs) among Mura Indigenous individuals, besides the association with the study variables. Method: Exploratory, descriptive, crosscut, quantitative study with 198 adult Indigenous individuals, Mura ethnicity, suffering from NCDs, registered at Pantaleão Primary Health Care Center in the municipality of Autazes, Amazonas State, Brazil. A formulary was applied with questions regarding demographic, socioeconomic data, health status, self-care practices and family caregiving, as well as instruments, such as the Barthel Index and Lawton Scale. In the descriptive analysis, data description was performed by means of percentage frequency distribution, and descriptive measures (mean, standard deviation, amplitude, maximum and minimum values). Inferential Statistical Analysis was performed by means of Pearsons Chi-square Test and Fishers Exact Test for variable association, significance level of 5%. Results: Female prevalence, average age of 59 years. Regarding self-care practices related to food and lifestyle habits, 92.5% reported fruit consumption, green leaves (83.8%), vegetables (98.0%), meat (68.2%), chicken (88.4%), and fish (96.0%); non-smokers (86.4%), non-alcoholic (92.4%), 85.4% do not exercise or practice sports (97.5%). In relation to family caregiving, the instrumental and emotional dimension was the most frequent, promoted by family members, such as daughters and spouses. Self-care assessment for the ADLs and IADLs evidenced that most individuals were functionally independent. From the analyzed data, statistical association was found between circulatory system diseases (CSDs) with their signs and symptoms and the etiology for NCD knowledge, hospitalization, restriction of high-fat food intake, addition of salt to the served food, non-compliance to any dietary guidelines, medication, amount of medication, diet/food and behavior for self-care practice, diet/food under the received self-care guidance; Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases were associated with gender, family history, physiology and unawareness of NCDs, chicken consumption, non-compliance to any dietary guidelines, amount of medication, non-compliance to any self-care practice; emotional and behavioral aspects were associated with self-care deficits, Diet/Food with received self-care guidance; Osteomuscular system and connective tissue diseases were associated with age, income, number of meals, amount of medication and ease on the self-care practice. ADLs were statistically associated with age, schooling, health status self-assessment, health care center visits, fruit intake, non-compliance to any self-care practice, financial and physical aspects, and ease on self-care. As for the IADLs, they were statistically associated with age, schooling, occupational status, individual and family income, Body Mass Index (BMI), fruit intake, alcoholism, exercising, physical aspects for self-care deficits, Diet/food in the received self-care guidance, instrumental and material dimensions for social support. Social support dimensions evidenced statistical association between the instrumental and the family arrangement, number of residents; the emotional social support dimension was associated with age and schooling; the material dimension with nervous system diseases; positive social interaction with age, schooling, family arrangement and eye-related diseases. Conclusion: Due to the obtained results in this study, we recognize the importance of the healthcare professionals from the referred Primary Health Care Center in the issues regarding the knowledge of self-care practices, as well as the social support promoted by the family on the treatment approach and follow up to the Indigenous individual suffering from a Non-Communicable Disease.

Full textStarting from the parents’ point of view, this thesis in educational sciences studies the family transmission of Breton, in a context of linguistic revitalization that follows the almost total rupture of the intergenerational transmission in the 1950s. A field survey of Breton-speaking parents aged between 23 and 48 in 2018 forms the basis of this research and has made it possible to collect a large amount of quantitative and qualitative data from 50 semi-structured interviews and two questionnaires (450 respondents for one and 306 for the other). It highlights the diversity of family strategies for transmitting the Breton language, in terms of parent-child communication and the environment, ranging from strong, very proactive transmission practices to weak or non-existent transmission practices. It also highlights their dynamic nature, often in the sense of a weakening of transmission as the child grows up. The analysis of parents’ linguistic choices reveals the influence of many factors relating to the environment (family, school, work), the context of the interaction (spouse, child, presence of a third party) and the parent speaker himself or herself (language socialisation, gender, feeling of competence), which combine to form a unique configuration that may or may not allow for language transmission. The transmitting parents report on the educational, personal, family, cultural and political issues involved. The thesis concludes with a series of recommendations for a potential future language policy in favour of the family transmission of Breton

Full textState of Origin is about my search for my Indigenous foster brothers, both of whom ran away from home on the same night in 1980. While all the children in this memoir are either fostered or adopted, the word ‘foster’ can here be read as a euphemism for ‘Stolen’. This memoir explores our shared childhood where backyard games dealt with our sometimes frantic search for individual identities. The games described mainly focus on my fantasies, that being adopted, I was descended from the Russian Royal Family; the Romanovs, and how, bit by bit, I became disabused of this notion. The idea of royal blood is further explored with the introduction of the actual blood sister of my two foster brothers, a girl who could have been fostered into our family but wasn’t, and who went on a hunger strike to force the authorities to arrange a reunion with her siblings. I make connections and comparisons between this heroic moment in her short life and the supposedly tragic romance of Anastasia Romanov. State of Origin is a belated coming of age story which re-considers the myths of my childhood, while instigating a reconnection to the place of my birth: Queensland. A critical and reflective exegesis Women in the Water follows the creative component. This work explores the ethics of writing about the Indigenous people involved in this story.
Mathebane, Mbazima Simeon. "Towards indigenous social work practice guidelines for assisting African families raising children with Down syndrome." Thesis, 2017. http://hdl.handle.net/10500/22929.
Full textIt is common knowledge that the social work profession in Africa, including its theories, methods, and models, has been implanted from the global North (Europe) and North America. Scholarship within social work has confirmed that there are challenges of relevance and appropriateness of Westernised social work interventions, and consequently, their effectiveness in a context outside the Euro-North American axis. It is against this backdrop that the researcher explored the African family, its experiences, and its coping strategies when raising a child with Down syndrome as well as the nature of social work services they received and whether such services were congruent with the family’s existential condition and subjectivities. A retrospective qualitative study following a phenomenological design was conducted. Research data were collected from a sample drawn using purposive and snowball techniques, through the use of semi-structured interviews. Qualitative data analysis process adapted from Terre Blanche, Durrheim and Painter (2006:33) was used. The findings revealed the existence of a paradoxical relationship between Eurocentrism underlying social work practice and the Afrocentric worldview. The typical African family raising a child with DS was found to be characterised by a unique form and structure consistent with a clan system different from the conventional Eurocentric concept of family. It was also found that despite the pressure and assault exerted by modernity, colonization and apartheid on the traditional African clan system, it remained resilient and retained its unique character distinct from the western nuclear family system. In relation to dealing with challenges associated with raising a child with DS, the African clan’s concerns were found to transcend pre-occupation with the etiology and treatment of the condition as emphasized in the western paradigm. Without discounting the significance of the etiology and treatment of the condition, the African clan draws on its spirituality and affection to consider the purpose and function of the condition in the bigger scheme of things. Social work as a helping profession seemed to be unpopular amongst African clans raising children with DS. The findings were used to develop indigenised social work practice guidelines for social workers assisting African families raising children with DS.

Inwi nwana, ni tou vha khundavhalai! (you child, you defeated your guide!). When a child behaved disrespectful to society, and is ill mannered, in Tshivenda, he/she would be referred to as Khundavhalai. Khundavhalai is made out of two Tshivenda words (Khunda + Vhalai which could be equalled to defeating + guides), meaning the one who defeated those who should guide him/her. The system and process of guiding could be equaled to u laya. Nwana is a child. The purpose of this study was to reflect on the Afro-centric practices of u laya nwana- guiding a child with particular reference to the Vhavenḓa culture. The decision to conduct this study was influenced by concerning incidences of behavior that could be associated with khundavhalai. The question was how did vhalai convey ndayo (The content and processes of u laya)? Bearing in mind a lack of documentation on these practices, I envisaged that the reflections would provide insights about how Vhavenda people guided children, with the hope that what was good could be blended with contemporary practices. The study employed a qualitative reflective paradigm. In-depth interviews were conducted with six elderly people who were key informants, to establish how u laya ṅwana was practised in the olden days. Olden days referred to a period before the 1980s. Key informants were asked to reflect on the processes and content of u laya ṅwana, and to identify positive practices that could be applied in the revival process of u laya vhana. Findings showed that u laya nwana was done throughout a child’s development, using different forms, such as songs, folklore, games, proverbs within a family context and communally through initiation schools(ngoma). There was a strong collaborative system between the families, traditional leadership, and key community figures who had the trust of the families and the royal household to run initiation schools. Participants were concerned that these practices have since vanished. A few that still exist are not without challenges. I got an opportunity to visit and observe at least two of those schools. The programme to revive ndayo was suggested, which encourages adaptive processes and collaborative effort between traditional initiation schools, families, communities, schools, churches, and relevant government departments.

Full textIn this master’s thesis, I examine the implications of the Kahnawà:ke membership and residency law on six mixed-blood women from the Kahnawà:ke Mohawk community. With the use of qualitative research methodology, I analyze the participants’ narratives of their experiences with growing up racially mixed. In this context, I explore some of the factors that facilitated or mitigated their sense of cultural identity and belonging. I also explore the question of cultural transmission to the future generation. The findings from this study suggest that Mohawk cultural identity and ways of life are perpetuated intergenerationally in these women’s’ families. The participants make tenacious efforts to re-appropriate their culture and find ways to create their space of belonging. These participants’ detailed accounts add to the Canadian body of research on mixed-race identity and cultural transmission in an Indigenous context.

Full textIn Canada 52.2% of children in foster care age 0 to 14 are Indigenous, while Indigenous children represent only 7.7% of all children in the country (Statistics Canada, 2016). Compared to their non-Indigenous counterparts, Indigenous mothers are more frequently reported to youth protection services (YP) and more often held responsible for neglecting their children (CIS-2008 ; Sinha, Ellenbogen and Trocmé, 2013). Colonial policies of dispossession, assimilation, institutionalized violence, precarious socio-economic conditions, and parental difficulties of addiction and psychological distress; account for some of these findings (TRCC, 2015; Sinha, Trocmé, Fallon et al., 2011). Furthermore, studies suggest that these trends persist and are exacerbated by differing perspectives between Indigenous mothers and YP institutions, regarding the foundational values, beliefs, and realities that underlie Indigenous parenthood (Cull 2006 ; Gosselin 2006 ; Veenstra and Keenan 2017). Despite the apparent difficulties which arise due to the differing perspectives regarding the cultural values, beliefs and realities surrounding Indigenous parenthood, few empirical studies have sought to hear the voices of the mothers in order to shed light on their points of view and better understand their experiences with the YP services (Bennett 2009 ; MacDonald 2002 ; Soumagnas 2015). In an effort to fill this gap, this qualitative study aims to understand the perspectives of parenthood held by Indigenous mothers and explore whether they consider that their perspectives are recognized and valued by child welfare services during times of intervention. This research favours a constructivist analytical framework and mobilizes Berger and Luckmann’s (2018) theories and Martin's Historical Action (2003a ; 2009). These theories allow for the understanding of participant’s experiences from their points of view and from their own social construction of reality. The implementation of the research is part of a narrative approach and an inductive and interpretive methodology that highlights the singular and subjective experience of the participants. As part of the study, a data collection phase was conducted in Fall 2016 with nine Innu mothers from the same community, of whom (at least) one child was apprehended. Semi-directed individual interviews, such as biographical narratives, were collected. A second phase of restitution and validation of the stories was completed in Fall 2017. Based on a comprehensive analyses (Kaufmann, 2004), the main finding of this study demonstrates that given respondent’s trajectories of adversity, parental realities, and their singular ways of conceiving their parental values, roles and responsibilities, YP should adapt to take Indigenous cultural perspectives into account. Furthermore, the study suggest that this acknowledgment would prioritize mother – child – family network ties and ensure cultural safety in services that better meet the needs of mothers. In regards to the Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC, 2015) ; investigation reports on Indigenous public relations (CERP, 2019) ; and the legislative reform plan for Indigenous children and family services, this study aims to give a voice to mothers, provide insight on how to « support an autonomous, child protection innu system » (Guay, Grammond et Vollant, 2019 : 1), and orientate community social workers.
