Résumé
Cette étude analyse les conditions de réalisation du soutien social dans les quartiers de Saint-Henri et de la Pointe Saint-Charles, en comparant un groupe de 61 prestataires de la sécurité du revenu avec un échantillon de 21 personnes de la population vivant au-dessus du seuil de la pauvreté, et en fonction du degré de détresse dans chaque groupe. Elle vise également à décrire comment une adversité vécue par les prestataires avec ou sans détresse vient briser ou modifier le réseau de soutien. Les résultats indiquent que le réseau social est moins fiable en présence de détresse qu’en son absence, que les personnes en détresse se sont vues plus fréquemment refuser du soutien ou être abandonnées et qu’elles ont davantage de personnes nuisibles dans leur entourage. De plus, les événements vécus comportent souvent une atteinte à leur réputation, des menaces, des trahisons et des refus à un droit légitime. Les personnes en détresse sont aussi davantage isolées.
Abstract
This study analyzes how social support is actualized by comparing 61 welfare recipients with a sample of 21 individuals above the poverty level in the area of St-Henri and Pointe Saint-Charles and by taking into account the level of psychological distress. A second goal is to document how an adversity experienced by a welfare recipient, with or without distress, breaks or change the support network. Results show that individuals with high distress have a less reliable network than those without, that they more often report a refusal of support or are let down and that they have more negative ties in their network. Besides, experienced events are more likely to attack their reputation, represent a threat, a betrayal or prevent access to a right. These individuals are also more likely to be isolated.
Resumen
Este estudio analiza las condiciones de realización del apoyo social en los barrios de Saint-Henri y de Pointe Saint-Charles, mediante la comparación de un grupo de 61 prestatarios de la seguridad social con una muestra de 21 personas de la población que vive por encima del umbral de pobreza, y en función del grado de necesidad de cada grupo. También busca describir cómo una adversidad vivida por los prestatarios necesitados o no rompe o modifica la red de apoyo. Los resultados indican que la red social es menos fiable en presencia de la necesidad que en su ausencia, que a las personas necesitadas se les rechaza más frecuentemente el apoyo o son abandonadas y que tienen más personas nocivas en su entorno. Además, los eventos vividos conllevan frecuentemente un ataque a su reputación, amenazas, traiciones y rechazo a un derecho legítimo. Las personas necesitadas están también más aisladas.
Resumo
Este estudo analisa as condições de realização do apoio social nos bairros de Saint-Henri e de Pointe Saint-Charles, em comparação a um grupo de 61 beneficiários do seguro social com uma amostragem de 21 pessoas da população que vive acima do limite de pobreza, e em função do grau de depressão em cada grupo. Ele visa, igualmente, descrever como uma adversidade vivenciada pelos beneficiários com ou sem depressão vem quebrar ou modificar a rede de apoio. Os resultados indicam que a rede social é menos confiável na presença de depressão que na falta desta, que as pessoas em depressão são mais freqüentemente vítimas de recusa de apoio ou são abandonadas, e que elas têm mais pessoas que as atrapalham em seu meio. Além disto, os acontecimentos vivenciados ferem quase sempre sua reputação, trazem ameaças, traições e recusas a um direito legítimo. As pessoas em depressão são também mais isoladas.
