摘要

Somali refugees are resettling in large numbers in the US, but little is known about the Somali Bantu, an ethnic minority within this population. Refugee youth mental health is linked to the functioning of the larger family unit. Understanding how the process of culturally adjusting to life after resettlement relates to family functioning can help identify what kind of interventions might strengthen families and lead to better mental health outcomes for youth. This paper seeks to address the following research questions: (1) How do different groups of Somali Bantu refugees describe their experiences of culturally adapting to life in the US?; and (2) How, if at all, do processes of cultural adaptation in a new country affect Somali Bantu family functioning? We conducted 14 focus groups with a total of 81 Somali Bantu refugees in New England. Authors analyzed focus groups using principles of thematic analysis to develop codes and an overarching theoretical model about the relationship between cultural adaptation, parent–child relationships, and family functioning. Views and expectations of parent–child relationships were compared between Somali Bantu youth and adults. Cultural negotiation was dependent upon broader sociocultural contexts in the United States that were most salient to the experience of the individual. Adult and youth participants had conflicting views around negotiating Somali Bantu culture, which often led to strained parent–child relationships. In contrast, youth sibling relationships were strengthened, as they turned to each other for support in navigating the process of cultural adaptation.

(2)一个新国家的文化适应过程对索马里班图族的家庭运作有何影响?我们与新英格兰地区的81名索马里班图族难民进行了14个焦点小组讨论。作者使用主题分析的原则分析了焦点小组,以制定规则和关于文化适应,父母与子女的关系以及家庭功能之间关系的总体理论模型。比较了索马里班图青年和成年人对亲子关系的看法和期望。文化谈判取决于美国最重要的个体社会文化背景。参加谈判的索马里班图人文化的成年和青年参与者意见不一致,这常常导致亲子关系紧张。相反,青年同胞之间的关系得到了加强,因为他们在文化适应过程中相互支持。
