2017年9月，飓风玛丽亚摧毁了波多黎各。房屋被毁，数百万人失去电力和清洁用水，许多道路被洪水淹没和封锁。在飓风过后的几年里，数十万人离开波多黎各，在美国大陆定居。本研究的目的是研究飓风玛丽亚后移居美国大陆的波多黎各成年人的灾难创伤的影响。研究对象为美国本土319名成年波多黎各玛丽亚飓风幸存者。女性占样本的71.2%。数据收集于2020年8月至2021年10月。参与者完成了飓风相关创伤的西班牙语测量，感知到的种族歧视和美国大陆接受的负面背景，语言压力，抑郁症状，焦虑，乐观，生活满意度和酗酒问题。结果我们估计了一个结构方程模型，其中飓风创伤预测文化压力，而文化压力反过来预测内化症状、乐观主义和生活满意度。内化症状、乐观和生活满意度被指定为问题饮酒的预测因子。结果表明，飓风创伤可预测文化应激。文化压力预测内化症状、乐观和生活满意度。内化症状预示着饮酒问题。飓风创伤通过文化压力间接预测内化症状通过文化压力和内化症状间接预测酗酒问题。结论飓风的创伤经历可能使波多黎各飓风玛丽亚幸存者更容易感受到美国大陆的文化压力。反过来，文化压力源可能与内化症状和酒精问题有关。（PsycInfo数据库记录(c) 2024 APA，版权所有）
PurposeIn September 2017, Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico. Houses were destroyed, millions of people lost power and access to clean water, and many roads were flooded and blocked. In the years following the storm, hundreds of thousands of people have left Puerto Rico and settled on the US mainland. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of disaster trauma among Puerto Rican adults who moved to the US mainland after Hurricane Maria.MethodParticipants were 319 adult Puerto Rican Hurricane Maria survivors on the US mainland. Women comprised 71.2% of the sample. Data were collected between August 2020 and October 2021. Participants completed Spanish-language measures of hurricane-related trauma, perceived ethnic discrimination and negative context of reception on the US mainland, language stress, depressive symptoms, anxiety, optimism, life satisfaction, and problem drinking.ResultsWe estimated a structural equation model where hurricane trauma predicted cultural stress, which in turn predicted internalizing symptoms, optimism, and life satisfaction. Internalizing symptoms, optimism, and life satisfaction were specified as predictors of problem drinking. Results indicated that hurricane trauma predicted cultural stress. Cultural stress predicted internalizing symptoms, optimism, and life satisfaction. Internalizing symptoms predicted problem drinking. Hurricane trauma indirectly predicted internalizing symptoms through cultural stress and indirectly predicted problem drinking through cultural stress and internalizing symptoms.ConclusionsTraumatic experiences from the storm may predispose Puerto Rican Hurricane Maria survivors to perceive cultural stress on the US mainland. In turn, cultural stressors may be associated with internalizing symptoms and alcohol problems.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
