居住在经济适用房的中国移民老年人在COVID-19大流行期间面临社会孤立的高风险，这可能会影响他们的心理健康。本研究采用三角测量混合方法，描述了中国移民老年人的社会网络，心理健康状况，以及他们在大流行期间的协会。研究于2021年6月至8月对26名中国移民老年人进行了半结构式深度访谈。参与者的社交网络的结构和特点进行了评估与名称生成的方法。采用老年抑郁量表和UCLA孤独量表自评心理健康状况。这个样本（平均年龄= 78.12岁，69.23%为女性）在他们的网络中平均有5.08个社会关系，58%是家庭关系。参与者报告说，移民特有的社会接触、家庭和朋友互动模式减少，情绪低落和无聊。在COVID-19发病后与他人保持更密切的关系并保持相同或更高的接触频率与更少的抑郁症状相关。从宗教信仰，邻居作为榜样，从过去的经验中学到的智慧的弹性进行了报告。这项研究中建立的知识可以为应对未来危机提供信息，例如在为老年移民人口提供服务的经济适用房环境中的COVID-19大流行。
Chinese immigrant older adults who live in affordable housing are at high risk of experiencing social isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic, which can affect their mental health. Using a triangulation mixed-methods approach, this study describes Chinese immigrant older adults’ social network, mental health status, and their associations during the pandemic. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with 26 Chinese immigrant older adults from June to August 2021. The structure and characteristics of participants’ social networks were assessed with a name-generating approach. Mental health status was self-reported with Geriatric Depression Scale and UCLA loneliness scale. This sample (mean age = 78.12, 69.23% female), on average, had 5.08 social ties in their network, and 58% were family ties. Participants reported decreased social contact, family and friends interaction patterns specific to immigrants, and constantly being in a low mood and bored. Having closer relationships with others and maintaining the same or higher contact frequency after COVID-19 onset was associated with fewer depressive symptoms. Resilience from religious beliefs, neighbors as role models, and wisdom learned from past experiences were reported. Knowledge built in this study can inform respondence to future crises like the COVID-19 pandemic in affordable housing settings serving older immigrant populations.
