本研究以墨西哥移民为样本，考察了异文化压力、抑郁和自杀意念之间的关系。同时研究了预测抑郁和自杀意念的变量。多元回归分析显示，异文化压力显著预测抑郁和自杀意念，家庭支持、社会支持、宗教信仰、对移民决定的认同和对未来的期望是抑郁和自杀意念的显著预测因子。总体研究结果表明，经历高水平异文化压力的成年墨西哥移民可能面临严重程度的抑郁和自杀意念的风险。研究结果强调了在评估和治疗抑郁和潜在自杀的文化适应个体时，使用与文化相关的临床方法的重要性。
This study examined the relationship among acculturative stress, depression, and suicidal ideation in a sample of Mexican immigrants. Also examined were variables that predict depression and suicidal ideation. Multiple regression analyses revealed that acculturative stress significantly predicted depression and suicidal ideation and that family support, social support, religiosity, agreement with the decision to migrate, and expectations for the future were significant predictors of depression and suicidal ideation. The overall findings suggest that adult Mexican immigrants who experience elevated levels of acculturative stress may be at risk for experiencing critical levels of depression and suicidal ideation. The findings highlight the importance of using culturally relevant clinical methods when assessing and treating the depressed and potentially suicidal acculturating individual.
