目的：本研究的目的是确定在澳大利亚悉尼的伊朗社区内的心理困扰的水平和预测。方法：参与者（n = 161）确定使用滚雪球抽样，并纳入一般健康问卷（GHQ-20）和其他移民相关因素的问卷邮寄到他们的首选地址。结果：相对较高比例的受访者（37%）的GHQ-20得分高于建议的阈值（4+）。与全职工作的受访者相比，学生报告心理困扰的可能性明显更大。移民导致他们痛苦的感觉也被发现与GHQ-20分数高于阈值显着相关。结论：在悉尼的伊朗移民可能需要心理健康计划来解决与移民有关的困扰。
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the levels and predictors of psychological distress within the Iranian community in Sydney, Australia. Method: Participants (n = 161) were identified using snowball sampling, and a questionnaire incorporating the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-20) and other migration-related factors was mailed to their preferred address. Results: A relatively high proportion of respondents (37%) had GHQ-20 scores above the recommended threshold (4+). Students were significantly more likely to report psychological distress compared with respondents who worked full-time. A feeling that migration had contributed to their distress was also found to be significantly associated with above-threshold GHQ-20 scores. Conclusions: Iranian migrants in Sydney may need mental health programs to address migration-related distress.
