Nerves, worriation, and black women: A community study in the American south

Disciplinary practices, metaparenting, and the quality of parent–child relationships in African-American, Mexican-American, and European-American mothers

“…The research into race socialization indicates that minority parents have an extra socialization burden to deal with-rearing a minority child. For example, Camino (1989) found that African-American women reported ''worriation'' regarding ''family members, their care, and the upkeep of the household'' (p. 300). Investigations into minority families has revealed these parents have additional considerations to be aware of, including promoting a child's ethnic or racial identity, monitoring the child's self-esteem, and pre-arming a child for coping with discrimination, for example (e.g., Hughes, 2003;Hughes, Rodriguez, Smith, Johnson, Stevenson, & Spicer, 2006;Lesane-Brown, 2006).…”

Bridging Psychiatric and Anthropological Approaches: The Case of “Nerves” in the United States

“…In contrast, Camino argues that black women in a southern U.S. city avoided talking to others about nerves for fear of stigma, but that when they did so, complaints were dismissed as “normal” for women and thus were ineffective as calls for help (Camino 1989). Jenkins suggests that different degrees of stigmatization associated with nervios and schizophrenia among Anglo- and Mexican Americans shapes who uses which terms and when (Jenkins 1998).…”

“…They just go about their life, always having some woman doing for them—cooking, cleaning, fussing about them. [Camino 1989:301] …”

“…People in many different parts of the world have described problems related to their nerves (Davis and Whitten 1988; Finkler 1989), although few recent studies have examined nerves in the United States (Camino 1989; Van Schaik 1989). Researchers studying nerves have been challenged by differences between “emic” or “folk terms” and Western diagnostic categories (“etic” or “professional terms”).…”

Infant-Feeding Beliefs and Experiences of Black Women Enrolled in WIC in the New York Metropolitan Area

“…The women recounted how they struggled on a daily basis with the pervasive effects of poverty and discrimination. Previous researchers have examined the effects of life stressors and discrimination on the health of women who are Black and economically disadvantaged (Camino, 1989;Schulz et al, 2000;Stancil, Hertz-Picciotto, Schramm, & Watt-Morse, 2000). This study used such understandings to further contextualize infant feeding in the lives of these women.…”
