Résumé
L’objectif de cet article utilisant une lunette qualitative à partir de mesures quantitatives est de dresser le portrait de quatre mères Indiennes réfugiées vivant un stress migratoire élevé et de présenter les conséquences liées à l’attachement de l’enfant. Les résultats indiquent des niveaux cliniques d’anxiété et de dépression ainsi qu’un soutien social variable selon la source de soutien. Chez l’enfant, la sécurité d’attachement est faible, il y a absence de comportements évitants et la prévalence de comportements ambivalents et désorganisés est élevée. Les résultats suggèrent que des approches qui misent sur un soutien de la dyade mère-enfant pourraient être appropriées pour ces femmes.

Abstract
The objective of this article that uses a qualitative approach from quantitative measures is to describe the profile of four Indian refugee mothers experiencing high migration stress, and to present the challenges related to child attachment. Results indicate clinical levels of anxiety and depression, as well as variable social support depending on the source of support. Child attachment security is low, avoidant attachment behaviors are absent, and the prevalence of ambivalent and disorganized attachment behaviors is high. Results suggest that approaches that focus on supporting mother-child dyads would be appropriate for these women.
