This article presents a reflection on four students' experiences on unexpected work transitions due to natural disaster in Chile.
Discussions with locals encountered while traveling throughout Chile prompted the authors to explore the ideas of occupational identity and global stigma attached to unexpected work transitions.
The authors present here, excerpts from reflective journaling and an exploration of factors affecting certain individual's ability to adapt and regain occupational identity that has either shifted or been lost due to the effects of natural disaster. The authors explore both micro and macro level factors that may affect this occupational shift, and how attempts to maintain occupation after natural disaster is influenced not only by person factors, but largely by global perceptions of the country affected by natural disaster.
Lastly, the authors reflect on this experience from a student perspective, the impact it has on emerging occupational therapists, and the need for more focused research concerning global stigma and its cascading effects.
本文对四名学生在智利因自然灾害而经历的意外工作转变的经历进行了反思。
在智利各地旅行时与当地人的讨论促使作者探讨职业认同以及意外工作转变所附带的全球污名化观念。
作者在此呈现反思性日志的节选内容,以及对影响某些个体适应并重新获得因自然灾害影响而发生转变或丧失的职业认同能力的因素的探究。作者探讨了可能影响这种职业转变的微观和宏观层面因素,以及自然灾害后维持职业的尝试如何不仅受到个人因素的影响,而且在很大程度上受到全球对受灾国家看法的影响。
最后,作者从学生角度反思了这一经历、其对新兴职业治疗师的影响,以及针对全球污名化及其连锁效应开展更具针对性研究的必要性。
