Abstract

A study conducts a review of risk and protective factors for well-being and barriers to help-seeking among Arab-speaking MENA immigrants and refugees (IRs) in North America. Guided by Arksey and O’Malley’s Scoping Studies Methodological Framework, we use the Population, Concept, and Context (PCC) framework recommended by Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) for scoping reviews to establish eligibility criteria selecting for original peer-reviewed articles published in English between 1999 and 2022. The search utilizes five databases: PubMed, CINAHL Plus, PsycINFO, Academic Search Complete, and Family Studies Abstracts. A total of 47 sources were selected based on the study criteria. Common themes are extracted which generate the identification of key risk and protective factors for well-being and barriers to help-seeking among the target population. The risk factors identified are acculturative stress, prevalence and impact of domestic violence, migration trauma, and intergenerational conflict. Protective factors identified are social support, ethnic and religious identity, and supportive parental and school experiences. Barriers to help-seeking include sociocultural, organizational, legal, and economic factors. Implications for future research and practice with Arab-speaking MENA IRs in North America are discussed.

北美地区讲阿拉伯语的中东和北非移民和难民的幸福风险和保护因素以及寻求帮助的障碍：范围审查

摘要本研究对北美地区讲阿拉伯语的中东和北非移民和难民（IRs）的幸福风险和保护因素以及寻求帮助的障碍进行了审查。在 Arksey 和 O'Malley 的 "范围界定研究方法框架 "的指导下，我们使用乔安娜-布里格斯研究所 (Joanna Briggs Institute, JBI) 推荐的用于范围界定研究的 "人口、概念和背景"（Population, Concept, and Context, PCC）框架来制定资格标准，选择 1999 年至 2022 年期间发表的原创同行评审英文文章。检索利用了五个数据库：PubMed、CINAHL Plus、PsycINFO、Academic Search Complete 和 Family Studies Abstracts。根据研究标准共选择了 47 个资料来源。通过提取共同主题，确定了目标人群幸福感的关键风险和保护因素以及寻求帮助的障碍。确定的风险因素包括文化适应压力、家庭暴力的普遍性和影响、移民创伤和代际冲突。确定的保护因素包括社会支持、种族和宗教认同以及父母和学校的支持性经历。寻求帮助的障碍包括社会文化、组织、法律和经济因素。本文讨论了未来对北美地区讲阿拉伯语的中东和北非 IRs 进行研究和实践的意义。
