Developing population interventions with migrant women for maternal-child health: a focused ethnography

BACKGROUND: Literature describing effective population interventions related to the pregnancy, birth, and post-birth care of international migrants, as defined by them, is scant. Hence, we sought to determine: 1) what processes are used by migrant women to respond to maternal-child health and psychosocial concerns during the early months and years after birth; 2) which of these enhance or impede their resiliency; and 3) which population interventions they suggest best respond to these concerns. METHODS: Sixteen international migrant women living in Montreal or Toronto who had been identified in a previous study as having a high psychosocial-risk profile and subsequently classified as vulnerable or resilient based on indicators of mental health were recruited. Focused ethnography including in-depth interviews and participant observations were conducted. Data were analyzed thematically and as an integrated whole. RESULTS: Migrant women drew on a wide range of coping strategies and resources to respond to maternal-child health and psychosocial concerns. Resilient and vulnerable mothers differed in their use of certain coping strategies. Social inclusion was identified as an overarching factor for enhancing resiliency by all study participants. Social processes and corresponding facilitators relating to social inclusion were identified by participants, with more social processes identified by the vulnerable group. Several interventions related to services were described which varied in type and quality; these were generally found to be effective. Participants identified several categories of interventions which they had used or would have liked to use and recommended improvements for and creation of some programs. The social determinants of health categories within which their suggestions fell included: income and social status, social support network, education, personal health practices and coping skills, healthy child development, and health services. Within each of these, the most common suggestions were related to creating supportive environments and building healthy public policy. CONCLUSIONS: A wealth of data was provided by participants on factors and processes related to the maternal-child health care of international migrants and associated population interventions. Our results offer a challenge to key stakeholders to improve existing interventions and create new ones based on the experiences and views of international migrant women themselves

Some Witnesses on the Gradual Evolution of the Ivonian Textual Families

Ivo’s intention was to present the canon law of the Church as a whole, so as to promote the role and work of ecclesiastical institutions, especially with regard to the care of souls and salvation as the final goal. This endeavor to apply the entirety of canon law might be realized in a variety of ways, and was to be fundamentally linked to the particular features of specific ecclesiastical institutions. Strict paleographical and codicological analyses of Orléans, Bibliothèque Municipal Ms. 222 (194) and Cambridge, Gonville and Caius College 393 (455) suggests convincingly that the term «textual families» be used in relation to Ivo’s work.El proyecto de Ivo de Chartres pretendía una presentación completa del derecho canónico de la Iglesia como instrumento que facilitase el trabajo y la actividad de las instituciones eclesiásticas, con especial atención a la cura de almas y su salvación eterna como objetivo principal. Este planteamiento se podía realizar de diversas maneras, pero dependía fundamentalmente de las peculiaridades concretas de cada instituto eclesial. Por otra parte, el análisis detallado de los manuscritos de Orléans, Bibliothèque Municipale 222 (194) y Cambridge, Gonville and Caius College 393 (455), muestra que en relación con la obra de Ivo, es mejor utilizar la expresión de «familias textuales»
