Belonging has been identified as an important resource for health and well-being in the lives of youths. Thus, it is an important concept for upstream health promotion and culturally safe and relevant nursing care. While many researchers acknowledge the importance of the social, cultural, and political context in the lives of newcomer youths, little research has examined the sociopolitical processes inherent in immigrant and refugee youths' experiences of belonging. By employing an intersectional and postcolonial perspective, this study explored newcomer youths' gendered, racialized, and class experiences of inclusion and exclusion that ultimately influenced their sense of belonging in their country of resettlement. Through an examination of online blogs in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and secondary analyses of transcribed interviews from a previous study conducted in Canada, experiences of belonging were revealed to be shaped by complex and multifaceted structures of oppression. Through individual and collective efforts of resistance and resiliency, newcomer youths worked to construct a sense of belonging in their daily lives. Despite these participants' demonstrated strengths, it is evident that more work is needed to support newcomer youths' sense of belonging and well-being throughout resettlement. Implications for nursing practice and research are discussed.
归属感已被确认为青少年生活中促进健康和幸福的一项重要资源。因此，它是上游健康促进以及文化安全且相关的护理工作中的一个重要概念。虽然许多研究人员承认社会、文化和政治背景在新移民青少年生活中的重要性，但很少有研究探讨移民和难民青少年归属感体验中所固有的社会政治过程。本研究采用交叉性和后殖民视角，探索了新移民青少年在包容与排斥方面的性别化、种族化和阶级体验，这些体验最终影响了他们在重新安置国家的归属感。通过对美国、英国、澳大利亚的网络博客进行研究，以及对之前在加拿大进行的一项研究的访谈转录进行二次分析，发现归属感体验是由复杂多面的压迫结构塑造而成的。通过个人和集体的抵抗与复原力努力，新移民青少年在日常生活中努力构建归属感。尽管这些参与者展现出了优势，但显然仍需要开展更多工作，以在重新安置过程中支持新移民青少年的归属感和幸福感。文中还讨论了对护理实践和研究的启示。
