审查目的：虽然移民和在新国家重新定居的经历与心理健康风险有关，但移民通常表现出比预期更好的心理健康。这篇综述描述了移民心理健康结果的模式。我们讨论了一个潜在的潜在机制的概念模型，可以缓冲的压力和劣势经历了这一实质性的和不断增长的population.Recent发现：虽然流行病学研究已经建立了一个一般模式的第一代（外国出生的）移民在美国的心理健康疾病的风险较低，最近的研究突出表明，这一模式因种族、族裔、民族血统、性别和社会经济地位的交叉而有很大差异。背景因素包括家庭和邻里环境;移民的社会地位;社会支持和社会排斥的经历;语言能力和能力;以及遭受歧视和文化适应压力进一步影响移民和心理健康之间的关系。最后，我们强调社会弹性过程，重点是移民如何发展社会关系，社会资本和社交网络。我们建议未来的研究方向，优先确定和理解移民群体采取的社会适应策略，以科普移民压力。
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: While the experience of migration and resettlement in a new country is associated with mental health risks, immigrants generally demonstrate better mental health than expected. This review describes patterns in mental health outcomes among immigrants. We discuss a conceptual model of the potential underlying mechanisms that could buffer the stress and disadvantage experienced by this substantial and growing population.RECENT FINDINGS: While epidemiological studies have established a general pattern of lower risk for mental health disorders among first-generation (foreign-born) immigrants in the U.S., recent studies highlight how this pattern varies substantially by the intersection of race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, and socioeconomic status. Contextual factors including the family and neighborhood context; an immigrant's social position; experiences of social support and social exclusion; language competency and ability; and exposure to discrimination and acculturative stress further influence the relationship between immigration and mental health.SUMMARY: We conclude with an emphasis on social resilience processes, with a focus on how immigrants develop social relations, social capital and social networks. We recommend future directions for research that prioritize identifying and understanding social adaptation strategies adopted by immigrant groups to cope with immigration stressors.
