“Relinquished, aspired, not left”: how do Venezuelan immigrants deal with their foregone professional identities in Brazil over time?
通过纵向质性研究，考察67名在巴西的委内瑞拉移民如何随时间应对放弃的职业身份及其健康后果，为理解移民职业路径中断提供个体、时间和情境视角。
Migration often challenges immigrants’ professional identity in their adopted countries, prompting many to forgo these identities, leading to negative health consequences. In addressing this issue, we conducted a longitudinal, qualitative study using grounded theory. We aimed to understand how immigrants deal with their forgone professional identities in their country of residence over time and the consequences of these coping responses. Specifically, we examined 67 Venezuelans living in Brazil. This research offers valuable insights by simultaneously considering individual, temporal, and contextual perspectives, shedding light on how immigrants navigate the challenge of discontinuity in their career paths while in a hosting country.
