Résumé

Le présent article décrit le lien entre la santé mentale et l’identité ethnolinguistique des étudiantes et étudiants d’un établissement d’enseignement postsecondaire francophone en contexte linguistique minoritaire dans l’Ouest canadien. Dans l’ensemble, les Franco-Manitobains affichaient une forte identité ethnolinguistique et une meilleure santé mentale. En revanche, les francophones d’un autre pays étaient plus à risque d’éprouver un problème de santé mentale, et ce, malgré une forte identité ethnolinguistique. À l’évidence, pour ces étudiantes et étudiants et ceux d’origine canadienne anglophone, l’identité ethnolinguistique est positivement associée à la santé mentale et devrait donc être considérée de façon plus spécifique au moment de l’élaboration des stratégies de promotion de la santé mentale destinées aux établissements d’enseignement postsecondaire canadiens.

Abstract

This paper describes the association between mental health and the ethnolinguistic identity of students in a francophone post-secondary institution in a linguistic minority context in western Canada. Franco-Manitoban students have strong ethnolinguistic identity and mental health. Francophone students from other countries were at greater risk of poor mental health despite a strong ethnolinguistic identity. Ethnolinguistic identity is positively associated with mental health for Francophone students from other countries and Anglophone students and should be targeted more specifically in mental health promotion in Canadian post-secondary institutions.
