每年有超过125，000名妇女移民到加拿大-大多数是在生育年龄，许多人在移民之前已经生育。我们试图（1）研究背景特征和心理健康状况的妇女分离，其子女由于移民，随后在加拿大分娩（“双重国家（DC）的母亲”）和（2）对比这些与“非双重国家”的移民母亲。在514名生育的多胎移民妇女中，五分之一（18%）的人报告说，由于移徙，她们与子女分离。超过三分之一的DC母亲生活在贫困中（36.0%对18.6%，P = 0.001），七分之一的家庭粮食不安全（16.3%对7.6%，P = 0.01）。超过三分之一的人没有伴侣（40.2%对11.4%，P = 0.00），近四分之一的人报告没有可用的支持（23.1%对12.2%，P = 0.007）。超过四分之三是寻求庇护者或难民（83.7%对51%，P = 0.00）。与非DC母亲相比，DC母亲有更多的产后抑郁症状（28.3%对18.6%，P = 0.04），临床抑郁症状（23.1%对13.5%，P = 0.02）和与创伤相关的焦虑（16.5%对9.4%，P = 0.04）。结果表明，识别DC母亲是一种快速的方法，使临床医生能够针对需要特别关注的妇女亚组。
Over 125,000 women immigrate to Canada yearly—most in their childbearing years and many having given birth before immigrating. We sought to (1) examine the background characteristics and mental health profile of women separated from their children due to migration and subsequently giving birth in Canada (“dual-country (DC) mothers”) and (2) contrast these with those of “non-dual-country” migrant mothers. Of 514 multiparous migrant women giving birth, one-fifth (18%) reported being separated from their children due to migration. Over one-third of DC mothers were living in poverty (36.0% versus 18.6%, P = 0.001), and one in seven was experiencing household food insecurity (16.3% versus 7.6%, P = 0.01). Over one-third had no partner (40.2% versus 11.4%, P = 0.00), and nearly one-quarter reported no available support (23.1% versus 12.2%, P = 0.007). Over three-quarters were asylum seekers or refugees (83.7% versus 51%, P = 0.00). More DC than non-DC mothers had symptoms of postpartum depression (28.3% versus 18.6%, P = 0.04), symptoms of clinical depression (23.1% versus 13.5%, P = 0.02), and anxiety related to trauma (16.5% versus 9.4%, P = 0.04). Results suggest that identifying DC mothers is a rapid approach to enable clinicians to target a subgroup of women needing special attention.
