Subtle, but not innocuous. Examining how discrimination experiences affect immigrant women by using an acculturation framework.
Perceived discrimination has been found to be a common acculturative stressor among migrants since it negatively affects their psychological acculturation process. Although the construct of perceived discrimination includes both subtle and blatant forms of discrimination, it is not clear to what extent these two forms have been considered and distinguished in the context of first-generation migrants’ acculturation. Furthermore, subtle forms of discrimination, such as microaggressions, have received increasing attention over the years, and have been found to have a negative effect on the psychological health of many socially disadvantaged groups, such as women and ethnic minority groups (which include second, third and further-generation immigrants). However, studies focusing on the experiences of microaggressions of first-generation immigrants, and specifically immigrant women, are lacking. The goal of the present project is to understand the role of subtle and blatant forms of discrimination in the psychological acculturation process of immigrant women from the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP) in Portugal. The first study of the project is a scoping review aimed at mapping and systematizing the literature about (subtle vs. blatant) discrimination in the context of first-generation immigrants’ acculturation. Results from this study will be presented and discussed.
Promote adjustment to Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: development of a digital intervention
Background: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease mostly prevalent among women with serious detrimental impact on their quality of life. Promoting women’s adjustment to SLE is paramount. The existing apps for adults with SLE have poor
quality and are solely focused on providing educational information, which comes mostly from questionable sources. Furthermore, psychological interventions that incorporate behavior change techniques
(BCT) seem
to be more effective than those that only provide information about the disease and treatment. As such, the development of theory and evidence-based digital interventions incorporating BCT to promote SLE adjustment is much needed. The aim of this study is
to describe the development of a theory- and evidence-based digital intervention to improve women’s SLE adjustment.
Method: The intervention development followed the steps of the Intervention Mapping Protocol. In a first step we develop the logic model of the problem; then we defined performance objectives, determinants and change objectives; in step 3 we defined BCT and corresponding applications; then we’ve organized the content in modules, and defined the technical specificities of the intervention to start the digital intervention development.
Results: The main results are a theory- and evidence-based digital intervention that has four main performance objectives, namely, to perform adaptive self-management strategies to (1)control symptoms and their impact on quality of life; (2)increase treatment adherence; (3)reduce distress; and (4)regulate physical activity levels.
Conclusion: This innovative intervention will provide much-needed insights into the effectiveness and usability of digital interventions to improve women’s adjustment to SLE.
Cheers,
