在日益敌对的移民环境中，与失散儿童移民(SCM)合作的成年利益攸关方面临着对他们的能力或转交照顾的重大挑战。本文探讨了成年利益相关者对SCM护理的不同理解，填补了理解那些在通常复杂和矛盾的职位上工作的人是如何将护理概念化的一个重要空白。本研究以护理文献为基础，对英格兰的州和非州成人利益相关者(如社会工作、法律、警察和非政府组织工作人员)进行了15次定性的半结构化访谈。我们认为，严格的移民做法、政策以及官僚和结构性挑战无疑会给那些本应扮演“关怀”角色的人带来个人紧张和职业限制。重要的是，当考虑到不同专业和部门的一系列不同的视角、角色和责任时，我们的受访者受到不同方式的限制，或者在他们的机构范围内有不同的回旋余地。我们的分析表明，在一个充满敌意的移民环境中，与SCM之间以及SCM之间的关怀联系被不信任对待，并且在空间和时间上都是不稳定的。我们认为，护理是如何概念化和体验的，是由敌对的政策和程序、成年利益相关者在这些系统内或之外的角色以及他们的个人价值观和观点共同构成的。正是在这个空间里，约束、推动者和阻力发挥了作用。护理是主观体验的，护理关系是开放的，跨越空间和时间的潜在(断开)联系。
Adult stakeholders who work with separated child migrants (SCMs) face a substantial challenge to their capacity or remit to care amid increasingly hostile immigration environments. This paper explores a diverse range of adult stakeholders' understandings of the care of SCMs, filling an important gap in understanding how care is conceptualized by those working in often complex and contradictory positions. Drawing on the care literature, this study focuses on 15 qualitative semistructured interviews with state and nonstate adult stakeholders in England (eg, social work, law, police, and NGO workers). We argue that stringent immigration practices, policies, and bureaucratic and structural challenges undoubtedly present personal tensions and professional constraints for those whose role is meant to foreground “care.” Importantly, when taking into account a range of different perspectives, roles, and responsibilities across professions and sectors, our respondents were constrained in varying ways or had varying room to maneuver within their institutional contexts. Our analysis suggests that amid a hostile immigration environment, care connections with and between SCMs are treated with mistrust and are unstable over space and time. We argue that how care is conceptualized and experienced is mutually constituted by hostile policies and procedures, adult stakeholders' roles within or out-with those systems, and their personal values and perspectives. It is within this space where constraints, enablers, and resistances play out. Care is subjectively experienced, and care relationships are open to potential (dis) connection across space and time.
