Trabajo social con grupos de inmigrantes: una experiencia de apoyo psico-social
2004
La conveniencia de desarrollar programas de Trabajo Social con grupos de inmigrantes desde una óptica psico-social, ha motivado la puesta en marcha de un Programa de Intervención Psico-social con grupos de inmigrantes en Médicos del Mundo¿Comunidad Valenciana. Este programa persigue la generación de espacios de apoyo mutuo y la creación de redes sociales, poniendo un énfasis especial en la implicación de las personas en la resolución de sus situaciones problemáticas. Así se consigue, por un lado, la generación de redes sociales que incidan en la mejora de la situación de sus miembros y, por otro, la implicación de los mismos en la conformación y seguimiento de otros grupos con objetivos sim…
Corresponsabilità educativa nell’esperienza dei Centri Provinciali per l’Istruzione degli Adulti: i vissuti dei docenti.
2021
Il presente contributo intende presentare una ricerca esplorativa sulle linee di intervento elaborate dai docenti dei Centri Provinciali per l’Istruzione degli Adulti (CPIA), in relazione all’attenzione che essi pongono alla costruzione di azioni coordinate e collaborative con le diverse figure di riferimento, tra cui quella dei tutori legali volontari, per favorire una corresponsabilità educativa che possa aiutare a rispondere in modo adeguato ai bisogni educativi dei minori migranti soli. L’idea di fondo della ricerca è di portare alla luce il ruolo delle scuole, intese come comunità educanti, nei percorsi delicati di affiancamento dei minori migranti non accompagnati in stretta collabora…
Exploring Neighborhood Influences on Small-Area Variations in Intimate Partner Violence Risk: A Bayesian Random-Effects Modeling Approach
2014
This paper uses spatial data of cases of intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) to examine neighborhood-level influences on small-area variations in IPVAW risk in a police district of the city of Valencia (Spain). To analyze area variations in IPVAW risk and its association with neighborhood-level explanatory variables we use a Bayesian spatial random-effects modeling approach, as well as disease mapping methods to represent risk probabilities in each area. Analyses show that IPVAW cases are more likely in areas of high immigrant concentration, high public disorder and crime, and high physical disorder. Results also show a spatial component indicating remaining variability attribut…
Connecting Polish families in Europe : changing dynamics in language and communication practices

Quali sono i fattori di successo delle famiglie multilingue? La relazione tra atteggiamenti linguistici e dinamiche familiari e di comunità
2020
The article focuses on the emotional, cognitive, and social climate in which multilingual families make and influence language choices. It investigates what impact the choices can have on the general well-being of the family, regarding both the intergenerational relationship and the community context. The research suggests that the linguistic attitudes of migrant families can stimulate and implement potential well-being. It consists of the conscious management of the specific and complex dynamic activated in a multilingual family.
Pustular lesions and itching in a couple of young migrants
2022
Two teenage illegal migrants from Bangladesh coming from a Libyan port arrived at Lampedusa Island-Italy. The health authorities, having noticed the presence of pustules on the limbs and genitals, suspecting a monkeypox virus infection, have urgently transferred them to the University Hospital of Palermo. They mentioned itching and prior sexual contact. On inspection, itching lesions and pustular lesions with central crusted umbilication and erythematous bases were detected. One of them had also fever and increased c-reactive protein. A real-time polymerase chain reaction assay on vesicle swabs to research monkeypoxvirus DNA and HIV serology was performed for both patients.
The dynamics of radical right-wing populist party preferences and perceived group threat: A comparative panel analysis of three competing hypotheses …
2014
Existing cross-sectional research considers citizens' preferences for radical right-wing populist (RRP) parties to be centrally driven by their perception that immigrants threaten the well-being of the national ingroup. However, longitudinal evidence for this relationship is largely missing. To remedy this gap in the literature, we developed three competing hypotheses to investigate: (a) whether perceived group threat is temporally prior to RRP party preferences, (b) whether RRP party preferences are temporally prior to perceived group threat, or (c) whether the relation between perceived group threat and RRP party preferences is bidirectional. Based on multiwave panel data from the Netherl…
Cultural Beliefs, Perceptions, and Experiences on Female Genital Mutilation Among Women and Men: A Qualitative Analysis.
2021
The practice of female genital mutilation (FGM) is a deeply-rooted tradition that affects predominantly regions of Africa and Asia. Because of migration flows, FGM is an issue of increasing concern worldwide. FGM is now carried out in Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand, and more specifically among immigrant communities from countries where it is common. This study aims to assess the experience, knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs related to FGM of migrant women and men from FGM-affected countries residing in Spain and the United Kingdom. A phenomenological qualitative approach was used. Participants (n=23) were recruited by using the snowball sampling technique until data satur…
Health disparities, and health behaviours of older immigrants & native population in Norway
2022
We aimed to investigate and compare activities of daily living (ADL), instrumental ADL (IADL), poor self-rated health and the health behaviours among immigrants and the native population in Norway. We present results from analysis of two Norwegian surveys, (Living Conditions Survey on Health from 2015, Living Conditions Survey among Immigrants 2016). Using logistic regression models, odds ratios were estimated for functional ability, self-reported health, and health behavior among immigrants, with Norwegian born being the reference category. The first model was controlled for age and gender and the second model was additionally adjusted for educational level. Our analysis included 5343 part…
Crisis and the strategies of immigrants in Spain: the Latin accent
2014
The crisis has started a new migration cycle in Spain. As an effect of the restrictive measures taken and the depth of the crisis, migrant inflows have reduced and outflows have increased, the latter especially among Latin Americans. This paper explores the impact of the crisis on migrant people and their families in terms of unemployment, of declining living conditions, and of legal uncertainty. In this situation, a growing minority of immigrants, particularly Latin Americans, implement transnational strategies such as return, circular migration and others. Notwithstanding this, most immigrants are facing the crisis here, combining work, social and family strategies.
