Résumé
Les Inuit du Nunavik, suite aux changements sociaux considérables auxquels ils font face, vivent des difficultés importantes de santé mentale. L’objectif de cette recherche est d’explorer la vision qu’ont les jeunes Inuit de la santé mentale et de vérifier si les services offerts par les organismes locaux comblent leurs besoins. Pour ce faire, 5 jeunes adultes de 18 à 25 ans ont été recrutés. Par le biais de Photovoice, ils ont illustré leur définition de la santé mentale. Neuf entrevues semi-structurées ont été menées auprès d’intervenantes et d’intervenants clés oeuvrant au sein d’organismes du milieu. Par une analyse thématique, utilisant les théories de Maslow et de Bronfenbrenner, la vision des jeunes a été analysée ainsi que le rôle de chaque organisme. Une compréhension de leur vision de la santé mentale en ressort et celle-ci est essentielle afin que les ressources mises à leur disposition puissent fournir une réponse culturellement appropriée. Ainsi, il sera possible, en partenariat avec la communauté, de déterminer les actions à prioriser à l’avenir.
Abstract
As a result of substantial cultural and social changes occurring in their once isolated world, the Inuit of Nunavik now face significant mental health challenges. The objective of this research is to explore Inuit youth’s vision of mental health and to determine whether the services offered by local organizations meet their needs. To do this, 5 young adults aged 18 to 25 were recruited. Through Photovoice, they illustrated their understanding and perception of mental health. Nine semi-structured interviews were then conducted with key workers in local organizations. Through a thematic analysis based on Maslow’s and Bronfenbrenner’s theories, the young people’s vision was analyzed, along with the role of each organization. An understanding of the Inuit’s vision of mental health emerges, and it is essential that local service providers share this understanding so that their response can be culturally appropriate. In this way, it will be possible, in partnership with the community, to determine which actions to prioritize in the future.
