目的：新兴移民社区的拉丁裔母亲经历抑郁症状的风险增加，因为植根于经济，文化和家庭经历的多种风险因素的融合。之前对拉丁裔青少年的研究发现，歧视而不是文化压力可以预测抑郁症状;然而，据我们所知，还没有研究探讨过歧视和文化压力对拉丁裔母亲的相对影响。方法：本研究通过研究两种普遍的（即。经济困难和亲子冲突）和文化压力（即，歧视和基于文化的家庭冲突）预测产妇抑郁症状的样本中的169个拉丁裔母亲在一个新兴的移民背景。结果如下：结果发现，拉丁裔母亲普遍存在的压力源确实能显著预测抑郁症状，而且独特的是，1种文化压力源（即，基于文化的家庭冲突）预测抑郁症状高于和超越普遍的压力源。结论：这些研究结果表明，重要的是要研究如何文化的压力可能有不同的影响，青年和他们的父母，因此，更多的工作应该研究的影响，基于文化的家庭冲突的拉丁裔母亲。
Objectives: Latina mothers in emerging immigrant communities experience heightened risk for depressive symptoms because of the convergence of multiple risk factors rooted in economic, cultural, and familial experiences. Previous research with Latina/o adolescents has found that discrimination, and not acculturative stress, predicts depressive symptoms; however, no research to our knowledge has examined the relative impact of both discrimination and acculturative stress in Latina mothers. Method: The present study expands this literature by examining how both universal (i.e.. economic hardship and parent-child conflict) and cultural stressors (i.e., discrimination and acculturative-based family conflict) predict maternal depressive symptoms in a sample of 169 Latina mothers in an emerging immigrant context. Results: Results found that the presence of universal stressors for Latina mothers does indeed significantly predict depressive symptoms, and that uniquely, 1 type of cultural stressor (i.e., acculturative-based family conflict) predicts depressive symptoms above and beyond the universal stressors. Conclusions: These findings indicate that it is important to examine how cultural stressors may have differential impact for youth and their parents; thus, more work should examine the impact of acculturative-based family conflict for Latina mothers.
