“…However, a study by Torres and Santiago (2018) that utilized a daily diary design found that EI-E exacerbated daily negative mood when youth were experiencing high economic stress. Thus, this finding parallels results of the current study in that EI-E in low-income ethnic minority youth can be influenced by a range of contextual factors such as environmental instability, uncertainty about the future, and broader stereotypes, stigmas, and microaggressions about being Latinx and having limited financial and social capital (Kidd, 2007;Torino & Sisselman-Borgia, 2017;Torres, Yznaga, & Moore, 2011).…”

Doubled-up Latinx youth experience many daily challenges associated with ethnic minority status and residential instability. Doubled-up youth share housing with noncustodial caregivers such as friends and/or extended family members primarily because of economic hardship and a breakdown in available parental support. Using data from baseline and 10 days of twice-a-day surveys, this study examined how in-school positive experiences, familism (i.e., a perspective that gives precedence to the family), and ethnic identity (i.e., affirmation, exploration, and resolution) influence after school positive (e.g., feeling joyful/happy) and negative (e.g., feeling stressed/anxious) affect among doubled-up Latinx youth (70% female; M age = 16.5). Results indicate that in-school positive experiences were associated with more after school positive affect and less after school negative affect. In addition, youth with higher levels of familism reported experiencing less after school negative affect. However, gender moderated the relation of ethnic identity exploration and experiences of after school positive affect. Specifically, females with higher levels of ethnic identity exploration reported relatively lower levels of after school positive affect compared with males. Overall, study findings highlight the importance of both person-level and varying contextual influences on the affective lives of doubled-up Latinx youth. K E Y W O R D S daily diary design, doubled-up youth, familism, Latinx 1 | INTRODUCTION Approximately 2.5 million youth in the USA are homeless according to the National Center for Homeless Education (NCHE; 2016), which highlights a pervasive inequality that merits increased attention and intervention. According to the NCHE, the majority of homeless youth (75%) share housing with a series of friends and/or extended family members because of economic hardship. Such youth are referred to as "doubled-up" and experience environmental instability while relying on others to meet their basic needs. Although doubled-up youth are homeless, they are often not included in researchers' conceptions of homelessness or research on homelessness, because they do not fit typical stereotypes of homelessness such as living on the street (see e.g., Toolis & Hammack, 2015; Torino & Sisselman-Borgia, 2017). Being doubled-up, like being homeless, also places students at risk for being exposed to myriad environmental threats, as well as being victimized, exploited, and having negative long-term life outcomes

“…Homeless individuals perceived that they were being treated as lesser than other patients based on their social circumstances; this has been found to negatively impact their likelihood of seeking care (Gilmer & Buccieri, 2020; Klop et al, 2018). This difference in provider attitude likely stems from implicit bias about homeless individuals that includes “sub-human status, invisibility, aesthetically unappealing, criminal status and dangerous, assumption of mental illness, assumption of substance abuse, laziness, and intellectual inferiority” (Torino & Sisselman-Borgia, 2017, p. 153).…”

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Introduction: Homeless individuals experience increased rates of chronic physical and mental health conditions. They also experience difficulty accessing care and poor health outcomes compounded by social and economic factors, such as housing insecurity, unemployment, and limited social support. The purpose of this study was to describe the perceptions of homeless individuals related to their health and experiences accessing care. Method: Qualitative descriptive methods and content analysis were used to gather, analyze, and interpret the data and identify themes. Results: Three themes were identified: men who are homeless experience bias throughout their health care and interpersonal relationships, the best care is person-centered and considers patients’ priorities, and care coordination resources are inadequate. Discussion: The housing needs of homeless individuals are best contextualized by their health and social needs. In addition, their priorities must be taken into consideration to develop culturally congruent services that are appropriate and effective care for this population.

“…Tais situações expressam a necessidade de os estagiários desenvolverem um senso de "pertencimento" ao papel assumido, à equipe de trabalho da qual fazem parte, e também à própria entidade onde realizam o ECS (GOMES; MESQUITA, 2015). De fato, sentir-se útil, capacitado para desempenhar determinada função e reconhecido pelas pessoas com as quais convive são aspectos fundamentais para o engajamento ativo dos estagiários, motivando-os para um envolvimento duradouro em sua área de intervenção e incorporando elementos à sua identidade profissional (BENITES et al, 2012;TORINO;SISSELMAN-BORGIA, 2017).…”

Este estudo descritivo-interpretativo buscou investigar as percepções de estudantes universitários de Educação Física acerca do Estágio Curricular Supervisionado em treinamento esportivo. Entrevistaram-se nove estudantes de uma universidade pública brasileira regularmente matriculados no estágio em treinamento esportivo, e os dados foram analisados por meio da técnica de Análise do Conteúdo. Os resultados indicaram que a atividade desenvolvida pelos estudantes foi, predominantemente, auxiliar seu supervisor de estágio. Os estudantes avaliaram positivamente o desenvolvimento em ambiente de estágio de conhecimentos adquiridos em disciplinas na universidade e o compartilhamento de experiências, enquanto a ausência de disciplinas que abrangem práticas pedagógicas na área do esporte e falta de acolhimento por determinados locais foram avaliadas negativamente. Os estudantes indicaram, para a melhoria do estágio, a oferta diversificada de áreas para a realização desta atividade, assim como a relação mais próxima da universidade e dos professores orientadores com os locais de estágio e com seus profissionais.
