Aguilar-Tejada, Esther
ProQuest LLC, Psy.D. Dissertation, The Chicago School of Professional Psychology
The purpose of this study was to use a comprehensive review and analysis of the literature to help fill the research gap regarding school-based services for Salvadorian immigrant youth in the United States. Using Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory, journal articles were critically analyzed for the five elements of the ecological subsystems. The study reviewed thirty documents, including research studies, articles, and book chapters under three topics; Salvadorian immigrant youth and families, trauma intervention literature, and cultural competence literature. Content relational concept mapping analysis was used to determine what themes from trauma intervention literature address the unique cultural and historical experiences of Salvadorian immigrant youth. Twenty-one themes were derived from coding Salvadorian specific literature. Most emergent themes were family, Religion, respect for teachers, immigration journey/status/policy, violence, psychoeducation for caregivers, and mental health impacts. All twenty-one themes were found in trauma intervention literature and cultural competence literature with higher instances of coded themes under teachers, psychoeducation for caregivers, mental health impacts, and family themes. Results indicate there are several ways in which trauma intervention literature and cultural competence literature showcases the potential abilities of schools to provide culturally sensitive interventions to Salvadorian immigrant youth and take into consideration the ecological environment in which a Salvadorian immigrant student resides. From the findings, a checklist was created for professionals to inform themselves on Salvadorian history and culture in order to help cultivate meaningful mesosystemic relationships with children and families and tailor interventions to be culturally sensitive.
