Résumé
Objectif : Les jeunes de couleur sont plus susceptibles de vivre de la violence directe et indirecte que les jeunes blancs non hispaniques. Bien que les conséquences de l’exposition à la violence soient bien établies, les facteurs qui pourraient faciliter la résilience sont moins bien compris.
Méthodologie : La présente étude a utilisé la modélisation de régression linéaire hiérarchique pour examiner les associations entre la résilience et la santé psychologique, le soutien social et l'engagement scolaire chez les jeunes de couleur aux États-Unis ayant subi des violences. Les participants étaient 75 jeunes de couleurs (Âge moyen = 9,39 ans ; É.T. = 1,56 ; 84,1 % Noir ou Afro-américain, 9,3 % Biracial ou Multiracial, 5,3 % Hispanique, 1,3 % Autochtone) ayant été directement ou indirectement exposés à de la violence au cours de la dernière année. Ils ont été recrutés dans un centre de justice familiale du sud des États-Unis.
Résultats : Le modèle final était significatif (F(5,74) = 21.71; p < .001) et expliquait 57% de la variance de la résilience. Spécifiquement, des niveaux plus bas d’exposition directe à la violence (β = -.18; p = .002), un soutien social plus élevé de la part d’amis et d’adultes qui ne sont pas les parents (β = .35; p < .001) et plus d’engagement scolaire (β = .47; p < .001) étaient associés à une résilience plus élevée.
Conclusions et Implications : Les résultats soulignent l'importance des ressources interpersonnelles et scolaires afin de faciliter la résilience chez les jeunes de couleur qui ont été exposés à la violence. Les cliniciens sont encouragés à mettre en contact les jeunes de couleurs avec des ressources accessibles pour favoriser leur implication comportementale, cognitive et émotionnelle à l'école. De plus, les prestataires de soins de santé mentale peuvent aider les jeunes de couleur en les aidant à établir et à maintenir des relations soutenantes, ce qui pourrait renforcer la résilience.
