Abstract

Recent theoretical and empirical studies suggest that post-migration (PM) factors contribute to negative mental health outcomes for asylum seekers, but few studies have used longitudinal data. This study examines the impact of changes in PM factors (housing, employment, asylum status) on symptom severity level among torture-surviving asylum seekers (n = 78). Participants’ symptoms improved over time, independent of changes in measured PM factors. Change in asylum status was found to reduce symptom levels, but other factors were not significantly related to changes in symptom level. These findings highlight the need to better understand the relationship between PM factors and mental health.

移民后因素对美国寻求庇护者的创伤后压力和抑郁症状的影响

摘要

最近的理论和实证研究表明,移民后 (PM) 因素会导致寻求庇护者的负面心理健康结果,但很少有研究使用纵向数据。本研究检查 PM 因素(住房、就业、庇护状态)的变化对在酷刑中幸存的寻求庇护者(n = 78)症状严重程度的影响。参与者的症状随着时间的推移而改善,与测量的 PM 因素的变化无关。发现庇护状态的变化会降低症状水平,但其他因素与症状水平的变化没有显着相关性。这些发现强调需要更好地了解 PM 因素与心理健康之间的关系。
