| Annotation | This qualitative study examined older women's experiences of resettling with their family and the protective factors that enhanced their resilience. The study focused on eight older Syrian refugee women who resettled in Iceland with members of their families. Implications for social work were found to include the need to assess older refugees' strengths, resilience and pre-resettlement functioning rather than services that might encourage integration into the dominant culture and community. The study argues that the refugee experience is a lifelong experience that shapes and informs various stages of life. (JL). |
