    Content and format preferences of a depression prevention program: A study in perinatal women
    (Universidad de Murcia, 2019-12-01) Osma, Jorge; Suso Ribera, Carlos; Martínez Borba, Verónica; Barrera, Alinne Z.
    Antecedentes: este trabajo explora las diferencias étnicas en preferencias de contenido y formato de un programa preventivo de depresión perinatal. Método: participaron 163 mujeres en etapa perinatal (66.9% embarazadas; 33.1% en el posparto) que se identificaron como latinas (45.4%) y no latinas (64.6%). Resultados: el formato preferido fue individual y en persona para todos los contenidos. Solo cuando el contenido tenía que ver con la comunicación de pareja, considerarían incluir a la pareja. No se encontraron diferencias significativas en función de la etnia en las preferencias de formato. En cuanto al contenido, las mujeres prefirieron “información sobre el proceso de embarazo, incluyendo cambios físicos y psicológicos”. Las mujeres no latinas mostraron una mayor preferencia por “realizar evaluaciones regulares sobre su estado emocional” en comparación a las latinas. Conclusiones: estos resultados deberían considerarse a la hora de diseñar futuros programas de prevención para la depresión perinatal y evidencian la necesidad de trabajar más en las intervenciones online si queremos que se valoren más favorablemente por las mujeres perinatales.

    Fighting for inclusion across borders: Latin American Trans women’s health in Canada
    (Taylor and Francis Group, 2022) Pastor Bravo, María del Mar; Gailits, Nicola; Gastaldo, D.; Bajwa, U.; Bilbao Joseph, C.; Castro, C.; Godoy, S.; Enfermería
    Background Worldwide, Trans women from Latin America experience some of the highest rates of violence, which has led many to emigrate. There is limited research exploring the experiences of Trans migrants, and most LGBTQI2S + migrant research focuses on immigrant gay men. This study uses the frameworks of Intersectionality and the Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) to examine the impact of migration on the health and wellbeing of Latin American Trans women living in Toronto, Canada. Methodology This qualitative arts-based study included nine participants and used hand mapping, a sociodemographic questionnaire, and focus groups to generate data. Data analysis encompassed inductive and deductive approaches and rigor was maintained through reflexivity and several verification strategies. Results While migration was used as a safety strategy, participants’ multiple identities as immigrants, Trans women, and Latinas, produced compounded experiences of oppression post-migration. Facing transphobia and xenophobia simultaneously, participants were forced to navigate precarious housing and employment, minimal social capital, and low social position. This limited their ability to exercise power and ultimately caused poor health and wellbeing post-migration; however, participants used sophisticated strategies to resist asymmetrical power relations, actively searching for safety and community participation, and caring for themselves and each other. Conclusion The participants fought for inclusion across borders of economic exclusion and gender identity, borders of power and social position, as well as geopolitical borders. Their intersectional experiences across these “borders” should be understood in the context of migration without liberation, consumption without income, compounding oppressions, as well as positive intersectionality. While the women’s resistance and strength are positive by-products of fighting oppression, they cannot be the solution. Access to health and wellbeing should not be a privilege for some; it must be a right for all.
