这项研究的重点是COVID-19爆发对英国黑人和南亚人心理健康结果的影响。226名参与者完成了一项调查，包括种族认同，宗教信仰，英国国家认同，感知歧视，对COVID-19的恐惧，普遍焦虑，抑郁和生活满意度。黑人参与者比南亚人更频繁地报告种族歧视，相反，南亚人报告更多的宗教歧视。结构方程模型显示，歧视对新冠肺炎的恐惧有直接影响，并通过降低英国国民身份和生活满意度产生间接影响。谨慎和种族认同似乎可以防止对COVID-19的恐惧。对COVID-19的恐惧反过来又与抑郁和广泛焦虑的增加以及生活满意度的下降有关。结果表明，由于歧视和少数民族压力，一些少数民族可能面临更差的心理健康结果。
This study focuses on the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on mental health outcomes in Black and South Asian people in the United Kingdom. A sample of 226 participants completed a survey consisting of measures of ethnic identification, religiosity, British national identification, perceived discrimination, fear of COVID-19, generalised anxiety, depression and life satisfaction. Black participants reported more frequent ethnic discrimination than South Asians who, conversely, reported more religious discrimination. Structural equation modelling showed that discrimination had a direct impact on fear of COVID-19 and an indirect impact through decreased British national identification and life satisfaction. Religiosity and ethnic identification appeared to be protective against fear of COVID-19. Fear of COVID-19 was in turn associated with increased depression and generalised anxiety and decreased life satisfaction. The results suggest that some minority groups may be facing poorer mental health outcomes due to discrimination and minority stress.
