农场工人家庭成员的风险心理健康状况不佳，由于压力，包括贫困，搬迁和文件状态。本文探讨了拉丁美洲农场工人家庭的妇女与农场工作相关的压力源和抑郁症状之间的关系。248名幼儿的母亲完成了西班牙语的固定回答访谈。措施包括流行病学中心抑郁量表，农民工压力清单，美国农业部家庭粮食安全调查模块。双变量分析表明，更大的抑郁症状与更多的经济困难，更多的农场工作相关的压力，更大的年龄，未婚。在多变量logistic回归分析中，经济困难仍然是与抑郁症状相关的唯一因素。更大的经济困难，而不是与一般农场工作相关的压力，是与拉丁裔农场工人家庭女性抑郁症相关的主要因素。母亲抑郁症会对母亲和家庭产生影响。为农业工人家庭的妇女提供的心理健康服务应针对那些面临最大经济挑战的妇女。
Farmworker family members risk poor mental health due to stressors including poverty, relocation, and documentation status. This paper explores the relationship between farm-work related stressors and depressive symptoms in women of Latino farmworker families. 248 mothers of young children completed fixed-response interviews in Spanish. Measures included the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale, Migrant Farmworker Stress Inventory, and USDA Household Food Security Survey Module. Bivariate analyses indicated greater depressive symptoms with more economic hardship, more farm work-related stressors, greater age, and being unmarried. In multivariable logistic regression, economic hardship remained the only factor associated with depressive symptoms. Greater economic hardship, but not general farm work-related stress, is a main factor associated with depression in women of Latino farmworker families. Maternal depression can have consequences for both mothers and families. Mental health services for women in farmworker families should be targeted to those with the greatest economic challenges.
