Amitié, inclusion, personnes ayant des déficiences intellectuelles, immigrant, travail de soinsRésumé
L’amitié et les liens sociaux améliorent généralement la qualité devie et le bien-être. Cependant, des recherches montrent que les personnes
présentant une déficience intellectuelle ont du mal à nouer des liens et à
entretenir des amitiés. Les travailleurs de soutien aux personnes handicapées
jouent un rôle indispensable et pourtant méconnu dans le développement
des amitiés avec les personnes présentant une déficience intellectuelle. Étant
donné que les travailleurs de soutien aux personnes handicapées sont en
grande partie des femmes immigrées, ces personnes connaissent elles aussi
l’isolement social alors qu’elles facilitent l’inclusion de leurs clients. Après
avoir mené des entretiens approfondis avec des travailleurs de soutien aux
personnes handicapées vivant à Edmonton, au Canada, pour mon projet de
mémoire de maîtrise, je propose les observations suivantes. Premièrement, les
employés et les clients sont mutuellement devenus amis, en raison, en partie de
la faiblesse des liens familiaux et des réseaux sociaux limités. Deuxièmement,
les relations authentiques ont aidé les employés à mieux comprendre leurs
clients et leur ont donné un sens à la vie plus profond. Troisièmement, le
contexte, l’environnement et la fréquence des rencontres sont essentiels au
développement des amitiés. Quatrièmement, les amitiés entre personnes
handicapées et non-handicapées sont essentielles au développement de la
communauté. Dans l’ensemble, à partir de ces entretiens, je suggère que
les amitiés authentiques entre les personnes présentant une déficience
intellectuelle et les travailleurs sociaux peuvent contribuer à favoriser un
sentiment d’appartenance communautaire et font partie intégrante du
développement de la communauté. Ma recherche suggère également que la
signification de l’amitié devrait être élargie au-delà des conceptions actuelles.
