Syrian refugee parents, Canada, changes in decision-making roles, perceived stressRésumé
Cette étude explore les changements dans les rôles de prise de décision partagée (décisions quotidiennes, décisions financières et décisions de vie importantes) et leurs liens avec le stress perçu chez 148 parents réfugiés syriens après leur réinstallation à Toronto à l'aide d'un modèle d'équation d'estimation généralisée. Les parents ont été classés dans la catégorie « vers le partage » de la prise de décision pour 20,3 % des décisions quotidiennes, 23,0 % des décisions de vie importantes et 21,6 % des décisions financières, respectivement. Dans les familles où les deux parents étaient au chômage, ceux qui partageaient « toujours » la prise de décisions financières avaient une perception du stress significativement plus faible que ceux qui étaient classés dans la catégorie « vers le partage » (p = 0,02). Comprendre les contextes culturels des rôles de genre et l'impact de l'acculturation peut aider à promouvoir de meilleures stratégies post-migratoires.
