男男性行为 (MSM) 的拉丁裔移民男性在多个方面（例如种族、性取向、语言使用）都被边缘化，这可能会对他们的健康和福祉产生负面影响。由于人们对这个亚群体如何经历边缘化压力以及他们如何应对这种压力知之甚少，因此本研究调查了压力源和应对策略，以更好地了解影响拉丁裔男男性接触者健康的因素。在社区咨询委员会的协助下，我们对非传统定居州的 15 名外国出生的拉丁裔男男性接触者进行了深入访谈。借鉴扎根的理论方法，我们迭代地分析了记录，以识别过程并描述主题。结果在会员检查访谈 (n = 4) 中得到证实，并且通过关键知情人访谈 (n = 3) 进一步将调查结果结合起来。参与者报告说，由于身为移民、性少数群体和贫困工人，他们面临着普遍存在的并发压力源。特别是，家庭和当地拉丁裔社区内的同性恋恐惧症被视为普遍存在。一些参与者由于无证且不是墨西哥人而面临额外的压力。参与者采用了四种类型的应对策略，没有占主导地位的应对反应：被动应对（即对压力源不做出反应）；尝试改变压力源；寻求社会支持；并寻求干扰。家庭关系，尤其是与母亲的关系，提供了关键的情感支持，但也可能产生与参与者性行为相关的压力。这项研究为未来的工作奠定了基础，尤其与非传统定居州的拉丁裔男男性行为者相关。研究结果可能为未来减少压力源和提高弹性的干预措施提供信息，这可以对多种健康结果产生积极影响。
Immigrant Latino men who have sex with men (MSM) are marginalized along multiple dimensions (e.g., ethnicity, sexual orientation, language use), which can negatively affect their health and well-being. As little is known about how this subgroup experiences the stress of marginalization and how, in turn, they cope with such stress, this study investigated stressors and coping strategies to better understand the factors shaping Latino MSM health. Assisted by a community advisory committee, we conducted in-depth interviews with 15 foreign-born Latino MSM in a nontraditional settlement state. Drawing on grounded theory methods, we analyzed transcripts iteratively to identify processes and characterize themes. Results were confirmed in member check interviews (n = 4) and findings were further contextualized through key informant interviews (n = 3). Participants reported ubiquitous, concurrent stressors due to being an immigrant, being a sexual minority, and being working poor. In particular, homophobia within families and local Latino communities was seen as pervasive. Some participants faced additional stressors due to being undocumented and not being Mexican. Participants drew on four types of coping strategies, with no dominant coping response: passive coping (i.e., not reacting to stressors); attempting to change stressors; seeking social support; and seeking distractions. Family ties, especially with mothers, provided key emotional support but could also generate stress related to participants’ sexuality. This study lays a foundation for future work and is particularly relevant for Latino MSM in nontraditional settlement states. Findings may inform future interventions to reduce stressors and increase resiliency, which can positively affect multiple health outcomes.
