Inuit communities of Canada experience many disparities in health and psychosocial context. Research in community psychology has shown associations between such socio-ecological factors and individual well-being. The objective of the study was to explore how community-level determinants of well-being influence family well-being in a northern community of Nunavik, Quebec. A total of 14 participants were interviewed. A thematic inductive analysis was conducted to extract community determinants of family well-being from the data. A system science approach was used to explore the associations between determinants and larger psychosocial dynamics. A community workshop was held to discuss the results and their meaning. A total of 25 determinants were coded, 16 of which were community-level. Community-level stressors were highly interrelated, whereas community supports were generally disconnected and superimposed on narratives of stressors. Participants spoke of desired supports. In their narratives, these supports were connected to a variety of determinants of well-being, suggesting the need to connect, redefine and support existing resources rather than simply add on new ones. We discuss intricate links between family and community well-being in small and geographically isolated communities.
加拿大的因纽特社区在健康和社会心理环境方面存在诸多差异。社区心理学研究表明，此类社会生态因素与个人幸福感之间存在关联。本研究的目的是探讨幸福感的社区层面决定因素如何影响魁北克努纳维克一个北部社区的家庭幸福感。共采访了14名参与者。进行了主题归纳分析，以从数据中提取家庭幸福感的社区决定因素。采用系统科学方法探讨决定因素与更大范围社会心理动态之间的关联。举办了一次社区研讨会来讨论研究结果及其意义。共编码了25个决定因素，其中16个是社区层面的。社区层面的压力源高度相互关联，而社区支持通常相互脱节，并叠加在压力源的叙述之上。参与者谈到了他们期望的支持。在他们的叙述中，这些支持与幸福感的各种决定因素相关联，这表明需要连接、重新定义和支持现有资源，而不是简单地增加新资源。我们讨论了小型且地理位置偏远的社区中家庭幸福感与社区幸福感之间的复杂联系。
