Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative research study explored the factors affecting Hmong students pursuing a master's or doctoral level mental health-related degree. Participants were recruited through both purposeful and snowball sampling techniques. Eight Hmong graduate students participated in hour-long interviews and the data was analyzed using Consensual Qualitative Research (Hill et al., 2005) methodology. Five connections were also discovered through analyzing the domains, categories, and subcategories, including (a) participants wanted to honor parents; (b) a variety of cultural factors were influential to how Hmong students experienced education; (c) seeking a culturally appropriate career was vital; (d) racial discrimination impacted self-esteem and self-efficacy for being successful in a graduate program; and (e) cultural gender norms played a role in educational experience. An amalgamated vignette of the participant responses was used to illustrate the career development issues for this population. The Social Cognitive Career Theory (Lent, 2013) framework was used in the vignette. In addition, based on the experiences of Hmong students enrolled in a graduate mental health program, tentative recommendations for graduate programs include more clearly integrating multiculturalism into the program, providing support groups, and increasing awareness of Hmong culture to better understand the needs of Hmong students.

Book Synopsis Facilitators and Barriers to Employment Among Hmong American Young Adult Men with Mental Illness by : Kevin Bengtson
Download or read book Facilitators and Barriers to Employment Among Hmong American Young Adult Men with Mental Illness written by Kevin Bengtson and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT The prevalence of mental illness among Hmong Americans is estimated to be close to 33.5% as opposed to 17.9% found in the general U.S. population based on the findings of several research studies and estimates from the NIMH. The high prevalence of mental health and mental health stigma has also lead to Hmong Americans experiencing greater difficulties in obtaining and retaining employment. Although no data was available on the specific unemployment or underemployment rates of Hmong Americans with mental illness, their current labor force participation in comparison to the rest of the U.S. population sheds some light on the difficulties that Hmong Americans have had in attempting to obtain employment. Despite the fact that Hmong Americans' labor force participation has been improved over the past two decades, it still lags behind the rest of the civilian U.S. population - only 56% of Hmong Americans are employed as opposed to 65% of the U.S. Civilian labor force. Although the levels of employment have increased over the past two decades the per capita income of Hmong Americans at $11,766 is significantly lower than the overall U.S. population per capita income at $26,279 leading to higher rates of poverty and a higher reliance on public assistance. Employment is considered essential to an individual's identity and provides pathways to community engagement and participation. Employment can also lead to higher levels of self-esteem, increased overall subjective well-being, and decreased levels of depression, anxiety, and alcohol consumption for persons with mental illness. Despite the noted importance of employment for persons of mental illness no research has been undertaken to understand the facilitators Hmong American males with mental illness may utilize or the barriers they face in obtaining and retaining employment. No research has explored the role that stigma and intergenerational trauma play in the employment process for Hmong adult males with mental health issues. Additionally, there is very limited knowledge regarding employment issues related to Hmong Americans with disabilities and no research has been specifically undertaken with Hmong American males. The purpose of this qualitative research study was to understand the facilitators, barriers, stigma, and intergenerational trauma experienced by Hmong adult men ages 18 to 35 years old with mental health issues residing in Wisconsin when attempting obtain and retain employment. Semi-structured interviews were undertaken with eight Hmong American males with mental health issues between the ages of 18 and 35 years of age. Six participants self-identified as having depression and two as having anxiety. One participant self-identified as having both depression and anxiety. None of the participants identified as having severe mental illness and all the participants in this study could be considered "high functioning". A phenomenological qualitative research framework, with a hermeneutic phenomenological approach was used to interpret the experiences of the participants. Co-cultural theory was used as a conceptual framework to further theoretically informed analysis of the qualitative data and answer the principle research question ("How do young adult Hmong males with mental health issues navigate and experience finding employment in Wisconsin?"). Two research team members of Hmong descent were recruited to assist with this study. Both grew up within Hmong American communities in Wisconsin and have an intimate understanding of Hmong culture. Additionally, both speak two different forms of Hmong dialect (Hmoob Dawg or "Hmong White" and Hmoob Ntsuab or "Hmong Green"), can read the Hmong language, and have experience working with persons who have mental health issues. The six stages of hermeneutic data analysis as developed by Ajjawi & Higgs (2007): Immersion, Understanding, Abstraction, Synthesis and Theme Development, Illumination and Illustrating the Phenomena, Critique of the Themes by the Researcher were used as a process to uncover the facilitators, barriers, and stigma experienced by Hmong American males with mental health issues to obtain and retain employment. Seven major themes identified indicate that Hmong culture and extended family play significant roles in the employment process for the participants in this study acting as both a facilitators and barriers. There also appears to be a significant level of "bi-cultural" stress being experienced by many of the participants in this study that has inadvertently has affected their overall mental well-being, leading to difficulty finding long-term employment. Co-cultural theory was used to further theoretically inform and interpret the findings for this research study. From the eight interviews undertaken it is apparent that for the participants in this study their preferred outcome is accommodation or trying to maintain their cultural uniqueness within the broader American society Results of this study indicate it would seem important to utilize Hmong American mental health counselors, rehabilitation counselors, and employment specialists where possible. Mental health, vocational rehabilitation, and other employment providers also need to be sensitive to potential family and cultural obligations that Hmong males are obligated to undertake in their community. In addition, counselors need to be sensitive to how gender roles affect the way Hmong males are obligated to communicate with each other and how it may impact the way certain Hmong clients interact when receiving Western mental health, vocational rehabilitation, or other employment services. Counselors also need to be aware how intergenerational stress may impact some Hmong American clients. Additionally, counselors need to be aware of the role that stigma and lack of understanding can play around mental illness with Hmong Americans. It appears that having a more in-depth understanding as to the stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination that Hmong people experience within the broader American society would assist counselors in helping Hmong people develop better workplace communication and socialization skills. Lastly, developing culturally sensitive outreach strategies would encourage Hmong people to utilize health, rehabilitation, and social services.

Download or read book Hmong-related Works, 1996-2006 written by Mark Edward Pfeifer and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hmong are a mountain-dwelling subgroup of the Miao of southwest China. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, they began migrating southeast to Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand. In the second half of the twentieth century, mainly because of their participation in the Second Indochina War (1954-1975), the Hmong began migrating to the West. Today the Hmong are one of the fastest-growing ethnic populations in the United States, increasing from about 94,000 in the 1990 census to approximately 190,000 in the U.S. Census Bureau's 2005 American Community Survey. With this rapid expansion, there has been a substantially increased interest in Hmong-related written works; multimedia materials; and websites among students, scholars, service professionals, and the general public. To help meet this interest, Mark Edward Pfeifer has compiled Hmong-Related Works, 1996-2006. An Annotated Bibliography, which includes full reference information (including Internet links to articles) and descriptive summaries for more than 600 Hmong-related works. Book jacket.
Book Synopsis The Lack of Motivation to Pursue Postsecondary Education Among Hmong Students by : Xang Lee
Download or read book The Lack of Motivation to Pursue Postsecondary Education Among Hmong Students written by Xang Lee and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In rural areas, a lack of motivation to pursue a postsecondary degree continues to affect Hmong students at the postsecondary education level. The purpose of this qualitative grounded theory research was to create a model based on the exploration of the lack of motivation to pursue postsecondary education among Hmong high school students. Educational leaders might be able to use the model to help them find ways to assist and prepare Hmong students for postsecondary education. The data were collected from the interviews with 10 high school graduates, 5 Hmong parents, and 5 educators. The finding suggested that Hmong parents and existing educational services were not effective enough to improve and prepare Hmong high school students for postsecondary education. Additional support initiatives such as stronger expectations, role models, mentoring, educational support programs, college visits, Hmong counselors who could speak Hmong and other leadership roles, activities that motivate students internally, personal financial literacy and postsecondary options classes, and the affection of Hmong parents were needed to prepare Hmong high school students for postsecondary education.

Book Synopsis Handbook of Childhood Behavioral Issues by : Thomas P. Gullotta
Download or read book Handbook of Childhood Behavioral Issues written by Thomas P. Gullotta and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-09-19 with total page 699 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent years have seen increasing interest in the mental health field, particularly related to strategies that foster the positive behavior and healthy mental state of children. As the Handbook of Childhood Behavioral Issues indicates, however, the causes of childhood behavioral, physical, and mental health problems are multi-dimensional and cannot be treated with a uniform approach. Rather than focus solely on theory, this book offers evidence of effective interventions as well as extensive bio-psychosocial methods of preventative practices. The research confirms the impact that environment has on children and offers new approaches to address physical, mental health, and behavioral issues in children. This volume is broken down into chapters that concentrate on a specific behavior or disorder, which not only makes the information comprehensible, but also allows for in-depth coverage of a particular issue. In addition to considering the genetic and psychological factors that trigger childhood mental health problems, the handbook also investigates the significant impact that family members and the surrounding community have on a child’s life. It is a book uniquely designed to include both the current perspectives on childhood development and the most effective treatment and prevention options. The result is a book that provides a deeper understanding of the variety of factors that contribute to a child’s behavior along with important information on the progress of evidence-based practices.
Book Synopsis The Counseling Needs and Strengths of Hmong American Students in the Southeast by : Michael Jay Manalo
Download or read book The Counseling Needs and Strengths of Hmong American Students in the Southeast written by Michael Jay Manalo and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hmong Americans, a group of people with historical roots in Southeast Asia, represent a growing population in the southeastern United States. Hmong students and their families face several challenges including a changing socioeconomic status, a high prevalence of mental disorders, and linguistic barriers. This qualitative study examined school employees' and Hmong students' perceptions of their counseling needs in a southeastern metropolitan area. The purpose of this investigation was to understand the counseling needs and resilient strategies of Hmong students living in the southeast across elementary, middle and high school levels as perceived by both school employees and Hmong students. In order to answer these questions, the researcher used qualitative research methodology in the data collection and analysis. The study included in-depth interviews with 10 school employees employed in a rural school district in the southeastern United States as well as interviews with 7 students who were currently or formerly enrolled in K - 12 institutions in the southeast. The researcher utilized a grounded theory approach to examining the interview data in order to create base-level codes, axial codes, and themes. Codes and themes were collected and organized using the ATLAS.ti qualitative data analysis software package. Utilizing these themes, the researcher developed a model to describe the resilient characteristics and counseling needs of the Hmong students and their community as well as strategies that counselors can use in working with this population. Strengths from the data included individual, family, and school-related strengths as well as problem solving strategies. Areas of need as derived from the data included school based challenges, mental health related challenges, cultural challenges, and environmental challenges. Possible strategies to working with the Hmong students as derived from the data included partnering with community organizations, developing trust and cultural understanding, communication with parents, and other specific strategies. This study also presents several implications for both current practice as well as future research as raised by both the participants and the researcher.

Book Synopsis Hmong Students' Life Experiences that Affect Educational Attainment by : Pam Thao
Download or read book Hmong Students' Life Experiences that Affect Educational Attainment written by Pam Thao and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to explore and identify the various life experiences and factors that contributed to Hmong adults staying in college and how they ultimately graduated from college while coping with their experiences along the way. In-depth interviews were conducted with 12 Hmong students by using semi-structured, openended questions. Findings revealed that the participants' parents' life experiences in Laos, their struggles with the Vietnam War, and their relocation to the United States made a big impact on the students' decisions to attend college. Support from family and friends, professors and advisors, and the use of university services such as the Tutoring Center and Educational Opportunity Program, helped the participants remain in college and eventually graduate. Study implications suggest a need for social workers in college counseling centers. Social workers are more likely to be sensitive regarding the issues and needs of Hmong students, and they have a deeper understanding of cultural sensitivity concerning minority students. Future studies could focus on continuing to explore this topic to gain a broader and deeper knowledge base.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research project examines the issue of delayed graduation among Hmong students at California State University, Sacramento by specifically exploring factors that hinder Hmong students from successfully graduating within four years of matriculating into the university as first-time freshmen. Convenience sampling and snowball sampling were used to gather 88 research participants. The exploratory study design employed the mixed method for developing the questionnaire, which consist of both quantitative and qualitative questions to gather information on students' demographics and perceptions of factors that contribute to the low four-year graduation rate among the Hmong students. Study findings suggest that course impaction, lack of advising/unsure of major were the main reasons for the delay in graduating on time.

Download or read book Prescription for Inequality written by Jillian M. Duquaine-Watson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2024-01-11 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how social determinants of health (SDH) impact the health of a variety of marginalized demographic groups in the United States. Chapters focus on the 13 groups that research demonstrates are most disadvantaged by SDH and, consequently, who suffer the most from ongoing health disparities in America. This includes Black and Hispanic individuals, the LGBTQIA+ community, women, the elderly, people with disabilities, veterans, and those living in rural areas, among others. Chapters follow a standardized format that makes it easy for readers to focus in on aspects of the subject that are of greatest interest. Each profile begins with a snapshot of that group's current state of health, including the biggest medical concerns and how other determinants of health may play a role. Next, each chapter takes an in-depth look at the four components of SDH: economic factors, educational access and quality, healthcare access and quality, and living environment and social context. Unique problems and possible solutions are explored within each of these four sections. An end-of-volume bibliography and further readings list points readers who wish to continue their investigation of the topic toward additional information. Relying on an interdisciplinary framework, the book incorporates research from diverse fields including public health, feminist theory, critical studies of race and ethnicity, poverty studies, disability studies, aging studies, cultural competence, legal studies, and global health. In recognition of the reality that health disparities are the result of a complex interplay of forces and structural factors that permeate American culture, analysis extends beyond health and health care to include a broad range of interrelated social, political, economic, and educational components.
