Immigrants from Chernobyl-affected areas in Israel: the link between health and social adjustment.
The concept of cumulative adversity is a useful tool in the study of migration under chronic stress from past traumas. Drawing on this concept, the study explored long-term health and psychosocial effects of past radiation exposure among survivors of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster who immigrated to Israel during the 1990s. Self-rated health status and indicators of social adjustment were compared in two groups of Russian immigrants: 180 persons from Chernobyl-affected areas and 200 immigrants from other areas of the former USSR. The semi-structured questionnaire was administered by Russian-speaking sociology students and analyzed by both quantitative and qualitative methods. In line with earlier research, both the somatic and mental health of Chernobyl survivors were significantly worse than in other immigrants of the same gender and age; a significant share of reported health problems were probably psychosomatic. Depression, sense of stigma and cancer-related anxiety were more prevalent in the study group. Immigrants from contaminated areas tended to use more health services (both conventional and alternative), but were less satisfied with their quality and providers' attitude. The link between perceived health impairment and poorer social accommodation in the host country has been confirmed: Chernobyl-area immigrants experienced more severe occupational downgrading and were more disappointed with the results of their resettlement than other immigrants.
Immigrants and the hospice.
This is the first published report on immigrants and hospices. From 1979 to 1985 St Mary's cared for 74 European, Afro-caribbean and Asian immigrants. Immigrants referred to the Hospice were more likely to be accepted for care than indigenous patients. Women from the Indian sub-continent (mean age 42 years) were the youngest immigrants needing hospice care. European immigrants were older and more likely to receive hospice care than other immigrants.
The external EU immigration policy: the need to move beyond the orthodoxy.
"Anti-immigration sentiments have recently engrossed the European Union (EU).... This article will, first, give an overall picture on immigration in the Union; secondly, show that the...justifications for barring EU bound immigrants are flawed and generate negative repercussions on the EU's foreign policy and external relations with third states; thirdly, propose an alternative paradigm within which to conduct the discourse on the EU immigration policy."
Factors influencing prenatal class attendance among immigrants in Ottawa-Carleton.
A longitudinal study, examining predictors of infant care behaviours among 283 immigrants in Ottawa-Carleton, included an analysis of factors predicting prenatal class attendance. On bivariate analysis, significant predictors among primiparas included mother's age and education, official language comprehension ability, average number of years resident in Canada, and current immigration status. Using logistic regression analysis, the odds ratio for prenatal class attendance was 7.36 for mothers with excellent or very good official language comprehension compared with mothers who self-rated their ability as fair or poor. Compared with primiparas who were 35 years or older, young mothers (< 25 years) were less likely to have attended prenatal classes (OR = .28) and mothers aged 30 to 34 years were more likely to have attended (OR = 2.22). Among multiparas, maternal age was the only significant predictor of prenatal class attendance. Findings suggest the need for new approaches to prenatal education for immigrant mothers.
