Abstract

Resettlement can be an uncertain time for refugees as they have often suffered life-threatening circumstances prior to flight from their countries, yet few resettlement programs screen for mental health. The purpose of this study was to pilot the Refugee Health Screener-15 (RHS-15) to assess mental health and the Pathways to Wellness intervention to identify internal and structural barriers affecting resettlement with a refugee women's sewing group. Community collaborations that create healthy social and physical environments through access to resources, economic opportunities, and social support promote a holistic approach to health and can improve quality of life for this vulnerable population.

Abstract

This research explores the gap in the management of lessons learned (MLL) in an Information Technology project (IT), validating a model (named Target) with the support of a wiki platform in a medium-sized company in the IT industry. This model supports the following MLL processes: awareness, collection, verification, storage, dissemination and reuse. This study adopts the paradigm of the Design Science Research and the Technical Action Research method to instantiate the Target model in the implementation phase of an IT project. The theoretical contribution lies in the practical utility of an LL model, which was validated in the field promoting innovation in the MLL. The practical implications can be seen in the company's learning to introduce the MLL, improve design productivity, increase employee collaboration and better disseminate knowledge., Esta pesquisa explora a lacuna na gestão de lições aprendidas (GLA) em um projeto de Tecnologia da Informação (TI), validando um modelo (denominado Target) com o apoio de uma plataforma wiki em uma empresa de médio porte no setor de TI. Este modelo suporta os seguintes processos do GLA: conscientização, coleta, verificação, armazenamento, disseminação e reuso. Este estudo adota o paradigma Design Science Research e o Método de Pesquisa-ação Técnica para instanciar o modelo Target na fase de implementação de um projeto de TI. A contribuição teórica reside na utilidade prática de um modelo de GLA, que foi validado no campo promovendo inovação na GLA. As implicações práticas podem ser vistas no aprendizado da empresa para introduzir o GLA, melhorar a produtividade do projeto, aumentar a colaboração dos funcionários e disseminar melhor o conhecimento.
