    Co-Authors: R Geanellos

    Examination of their Sociopolitical situatedness, in Australia, allows adolescent mental health and adolescent mental health nursing to be understood within a broader Context. This examination takes place through a review of: (i) epidemiology, (ii) health funding and services, (iii) training and education, (iv) research, and (v) nurse education. Implications arising from this review are presented. Questions are raised regarding the Sociopolitical standing of adolescent mental health, and suggestions are made regarding future imperatives for adolescent mental health nursing.

  • an analysis of the Sociopolitical Context of mental health nursing practice
    Australian and New Zealand Journal of Mental Health Nursing, 1997
    Co-Authors: M Crowe
    Abstract:

    This paper will explore the delivery of mental health nursing care within a neo-liberal model of mental health care delivery in New Zealand. Mental health nursing as a socially constructed activity occurs within a particular political Context, which determines its role and function. This environment determines the nature of the nurse-patient relationship which is integral to the role of mental health nurses. Critical analysis of the New Zealand Government's neo-liberal health policies will be conducted to explore their effect on mental health care delivery and the nurse-patient relationship. Some of the ideologies and values maintained by current dominant discourses within nursing and the State are discussed. To establish therapeutic partnerships with service-users, mental health nurses are urged to critically analyse their practice and the Context in which it occurs.

  • being a woman with acquired brain injury challenges and implications for practice
    Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 2016
    Co-Authors: Halina Lin Haag, Michiko Caringal, Sandra Sokoloff, Pia Kontos, Karen Yoshida, Angela Colantonio
    Abstract:

    Abstract Objectives To explore the experiences of women with acquired brain injury (ABI) to gain greater insight into their general and sex- and gender-specific health and well-being concerns, and to identify areas for future research. Design A qualitative pilot study using interpretive description methodology and a sex-and gender-based analysis of data collected through focus groups. Setting Community. Participants A sample of survivors, and formal and informal caregivers of women with ABI (N=16). Interventions Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures Not applicable. Results Participants identified significant barriers to achieving optimal health and well-being for women survivors of ABI, including a lack of knowledgeable professionals. We identify 3 interrelated themes: (1) experiences shaped by gender norms and roles; (2) experiences influenced by physiological phenomena, including perceived hormone imbalances; and (3) experiences surrounding interpersonal relationships and sexuality. Conclusions Post-ABI care should include education about the influences of sex and gender on health and well-being. Acknowledging the impact of gendered roles, and the broader Sociopolitical Context of gender and disability, is important to develop appropriate services and supports after ABI. Incorporating effective communication strategies between patient and health care professional can also be a potent rehabilitation strategy.

  • re imagining multicultural education new visions new possibilities
    Multicultural Education Review, 2017
    Co-Authors: Sonia Nieto
    Abstract:

    AbstractIn this article, Sonia Nieto reflects on the heretofore known history of multicultural education since its beginnings in the early 1970s, with a focus in the United States. She then reviews what has been missing from this rendering and suggests what it might mean, in the current Sociopolitical Context, to imagine new possibilities for the field, including new voices, new visions, and new Contexts. Using her research and that of others, she then explores what it would mean to re-imagine multicultural education in a global Context for students, teachers, families, schools, and nations.

  • solidarity courage and heart what teacher educators can learn from a new generation of teachers
    Intercultural Education, 2006
    Co-Authors: Sonia Nieto
    Abstract:

    What does it take to become effective teachers of students of culturally, ethnically, linguistically, and racially diverse backgrounds? Based on research with teachers over the past several years, this paper discusses what it means to teach students of diverse backgrounds with heart, courage and conviction, and the implications of their practice for professional development. A review of relevant literature finds that some of the widely acknowledged qualities of effective teachers include a solid general education background; a deep knowledge of subject matter; familiarity with numerous pedagogical approaches; strong communication skills; and effective organizational skills. Although these qualities are essential for good teaching, the purpose in this paper is to suggest that they are insufficient because they fail to take into account the Sociopolitical Context of education as well as the tremendous diversity of language, social class, ethnicity and race, among other differences, that are a fact of life i...

  • cultural difference and educational change in a Sociopolitical Context
    2005
    Co-Authors: Sonia Nieto
    Abstract:

    Sonia Nieto’s chapter points to the significant phenomenon of growing cultural diversity and the challenges it presents for educational change. Reviewing the evidence on ways of learning and what counts as learning in diverse cultures, and on the strong association between various levels of cultural diversity and poverty, Nieto argues that beyond the rhetoric, differences of race, culture, and language are rarely taken very seriously in educational reform efforts. Yet, she shows how taking cultural and linguistic diversity into account in educational reform initiatives, can make a real difference in student learning and achievement — and she outlines numerous, concrete and practical examples of how this can be and sometimes has been achieved.

  • how do latino immigrants perceive the current Sociopolitical Context identifying opportunities to improve immigrant health in the united states
    Journal of Social Policy, 2020
    Co-Authors: Jane J Lee, Yuanjin Zhou
    Abstract:

    Migration is an important social determinant of health for immigrants in the United States. Increased attention on Latino immigrants in recent years has sparked interest in policies that affect this population. While prior research has assessed the potential health impact of specific immigration policies, there is limited understanding of how the overall Sociopolitical Context shapes the health of Latino immigrants. This study examines the potential mechanisms that link the Sociopolitical Context and health among Latino immigrants. Specifically, we explore how perceptions of the Sociopolitical Context are implicated in this relationship. Qualitative interviews with community gatekeepers (n=13) and Latino immigrants (n=34) in New York City revealed general perceptions about the overall Sociopolitical Context, which were characterized by discrimination towards immigrants, unpredictable and mercurial circumstances, and confusion and lack of information. These perceptions influenced participants’ psycho-emotional health and health-related behaviors. Findings suggest the importance of integrating immigrants’ perceptions of the Sociopolitical Context into health promotion efforts. Furthermore, findings demonstrate the need for paradigm shifts in developing policy-related actions to integrate immigrants’ perspectives. We propose an integrated, multi-level framework to guide future research and practice regarding social determinants of immigrant health.
