据认为,在联合王国的南亚社区中,学习障碍的发生率几乎是其他任何社区的三倍。尽管如此,这一群体的服务利用率仍然很低,跨文化工作可能对服务提供者构成独特的挑战。南亚家庭在联合王国境内照顾有学习障碍的儿童的经验是多方面的。本文提出了一个经验背景的框架来探索这些经验。该框架纳入了少数群体的经验以及残疾的医疗和社会模式。经验背景框架已被应用于理解南亚人经验的重要方面,包括:对学习障碍的解释和理解;与医疗保健系统的互动;少数群体压力;以及族裔群体内文化适应和多样性的影响。
The prevalence of learning disabilities amongst South Asian communities in the United Kingdom is thought to be almost three times higher than in any other community. Despite this, service utilisation amongst this group remains low and working cross-culturally can pose unique challenges for service providers. The experiences of South Asian families caring for a child with learning disabilities within the United Kingdom are multifaceted. This article proposes an experiential–contextual framework for exploring these experiences. The framework incorporates minority experiences as well as medical and social models of disability. The experiential–contextual framework has been applied to understanding important aspects of South Asians experiences, including: the interpretations and understanding of learning disabilities; interactions with healthcare systems; minority group pressures; and the influence of acculturation and diversity within ethnic groups.
