“…Resilience (coping, resistance and survival mechanisms) is an analytical concept which emphasises people’s health promoting processes and coping when faced with suffering and stress [18]. The term resilience was first known in developmental psychology, understood as the individual’s positive survival mechanisms [19].…”

“…Later, the concept was used in indigenous health research, in, e.g., Canada. The focus is not merely on the individual, but also on resources and processes in relationships and domestic environments in managing and coping with illness [18,20]. These scholars argue that the resilience perspective can help strengthen the contextual and cultural understanding of coping with illness.…”

Background: When people in Northern Norway get ill, they often use traditional medicine. The global aim of this study was to examine the extended family networks’ function and responsibility in cases of illness in the family, in two Northern Norwegian communities with a population of mixed ethnicity. Methods: Semi-structured individual interviews with 13 participants and 4 focus group interviews with total 11 participants were conducted. The text data was transcribed verbatim and analysed based on the criteria for content analysis. Results: The participants grew up in areas where it was common to seek help from traditional healers. They were organized in networks and shared responsibility for the patient and they provided practical help and support for the family. According to the networks, health-care personnel should make room for the entire network to visit the patient in severe and life-threatening situations. Conclusion: Traditional networks are an extra resource for people in these communities. The networks seem to be essential in handling and disseminating hope and manageability on an individual as well as a collective level. Health personnel working in communities with mixed ethnicity should have thorough knowledge of the mixed culture, including the importance of traditional network to the patients.

“…While coping is related to the development of strategies to use in case of adverse events, resilience is a concept related to the ability of dealing with a traumatic event and evolving with it, in a healthy and adaptive way [18][19][20]. Some protective factors during early childhood -like having caring parents, education, the absence of childhood abuse or neglect, and a less conflicted family environment, are promoters of resilience when it comes to later exposure to risky situations such as drug experimentation, or overcoming traumatic events [21,22].…”

“…Empirical evidence from this study showed the social enterprises are inclusive of their horizontal target audiences to ensure the service they deliver across midstream channels leads to mutual satisfaction. Findings not only supported the theory of servicedominant logic, but spinoffs from the programs corroborated additional research by Wood and Fowlie (2010) and Ungar (2012). These researchers assert that one positive service experience potentially incurs a host of positive outcomes.…”

How Australian social enterprises use strategic marketing and social marketing to drive accountability and change for sustainable development

Globalisation, population growth and climate change are ushering in rising societal concerns. In response, new approaches need to continue being fostered in research, production and marketing to address sustainability. Initiatives by a cross-section of businesses, government and community working in partnerships seem to offer the best chance to catalyse societal transformation.Against this backdrop, social enterprises are an incubator for implementing activities within society to produce commercial and social value. They have social, economic and often environmental imperatives embedded in their core objectives. These organisations are historically characterised by entrepreneurship, innovation and the willingness to take risks to create and exploit marketplace opportunities. They undertake projects in the face of constraints imposed by limited resources while serving numerous constituents. However, there is a dearth of empirical research on their strategic marketing and social marketing activities in conjunction with their accountability for social impacts.A multiple case study protocol was therefore employed to examine how strategic marketing, social marketing and accountability were applied as mechanisms across diverse Australian social enterprises to achieve sustainable missions. Findings showed the organisations' marketing functions go beyond traditional approaches to ensure viable income streams. They catered to broader target audiences by offering two-tiered price schemes, developing products in concert with customers, promoting a sustainable place, and engaging in two-way communication to influence policy. Deep collaboration between social enterprises and stakeholders included joining forces with competitors to enhance resources and capabilities.Results on social marketing reflected tailored community-based interventions brought a range of environmental benefits, taught skills for employment, and provided a voice for marginalised members of communities who might not otherwise have an outlet. Successful outcomes led to iv replication of unique business models in some cases. Notably, collaboration and competition with target audiences occurred both vertically and horizontally in marketing channels. These findings extend theory on coopetition in the third sector, highlighting the value of using a systems framework, the social ecological model, underpinned by co-creation of social value. The research contributes empirical evidence to an important but under-researched area within strategic marketing management on interorganisational relations.Data from social enterprises that carried out comprehensive forms of reporting also provided insights to the emerging area of integrated reporting for conveying a more meaningful approach than standalone social audits issued to constituents apart from financial reports. Findings demonstrated that smaller organisations have the ability to issue a clear, cohesive account of their triple bottom line. This study thus adds practical contributions of cases using integra...
