Montreal’deki Yaşlı Türk Göçmenler için İkili Mücadele
Bu
araştırmanın amacı topluluk destek hizmeti ile ilişkili olarak Kanada'da göçmen
olan Türk yaşlı kadınlara ve erkeklere dair topluluk çalışanlarının
perspektifinden sosyal desteği daha iyi anlamaktır. Yaşlı Türk göçmenlerle 2
yıldan fazla doğrudan çalışmış/çalışmakta olan topluluk çalışanları ile yarı
yapılandırılmış görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Topluluk çalışanlarının sosyal
destek hakkındaki bakış açıları aşağıdaki gibi merkezi sorular kullanarak
analiz edildi: 1. Sağlığın sosyal değişkenleri ve topluluk hizmetleri
düşünülürse sosyal desteği ne karakterize eder? 2. Topluluk destek sistemi nasıl
iyileştirilebilir? Analiz ve data yorumlaması sosyal yapılandırmacılık teorik
perspektifi ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bulgular, topluluk destek sisteminin
yaşlı bireylere dil sorunlarıyla başa çıkmakta bilgilendirici destek ve
memleket özlemi ile mücadele etmekte duygusal destek sağladığını gösterdi.

perspectives about social support in relation with community support service regarding
Canadian Turkish immigrant elder women and men. Semi-structured interviews

aged Turkish immigrants more than 2 years in Montreal. Community workers’ perspectives
on social support is analyzed using central questions as follows: 1. What
characterizes social support working with the elder immigrants considering
social determinants of health and the community services? 2. How would community support system be improved? Analysis and interpretation of data were informed
