Abstract

Acculturation after settlement has been identified as a risk factor affecting the mental health of immigrant youth. Increasing rates of immigration and expanding populations of immigrant youth mean that addressing their mental is a priority. Acculturative stress is the stress-response resulting from the effects of multiple stressors that result from the need to acculturate. Among youth within the developmental stages of late adolescence and emerging adulthood, increased sensitivity to stress, and developmental demands, impact their mental health. The effects of acculturative stress place an additional burden on the mental health of immigrant youth. This scoping review examined existing literature that investigated a variety of relationships between acculturative stress and youth mental health. A comprehensive search strategy that focused on studies involving youth, mainly aged between 15-24, with a proximal history of international migration, published between 2012-2022, resulted in a collection of fifty-three studies. This review examined significant relationships between acculturative stress and major depression, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, substance misuse, behavioural problems and poor psychological wellbeing. This scoping review was truly explorative as it included youth from immigrant minorities, had no geographical limits, and included various study designs. Acculturative stress continues to be an important contributor to the mental health of youth who have a proximal history of international migration. This review provided an exploration of the state of research, identified the importance of the settlement context, and provided recommendations for the direction of future studies, supportive policies, and practice considerations, related to the mental health of immigrant youth.

文化适应压力对移民青少年心理健康的影响:范围界定文献综述》。
定居后的文化适应被认为是影响移民青年心理健康的一个风险因素。移民率的不断上升和移民青年人口的不断扩大意味着解决他们的心理问题是当务之急。文化适应压力是由于需要适应新环境而产生的多重压力的影响所导致的压力反应。在处于青春期后期和成年期的青少年中,对压力的敏感性和发展需求的增加会影响他们的心理健康。文化适应压力的影响给移民青年的心理健康带来了额外负担。本范围界定综述研究了调查文化适应压力与青少年心理健康之间各种关系的现有文献。我们采用了一种全面的搜索策略,重点关注2012-2022年间发表的涉及青少年的研究,这些青少年主要年龄在15-24岁之间,有近似的国际移民史。本综述探讨了文化适应压力与重度抑郁症、焦虑症、饮食失调、药物滥用、行为问题和不良心理健康之间的重要关系。这次范围界定审查具有真正的探索性,因为它包括了来自移民少数群体的青年,没有地域限制,并包括了各种研究设计。文化适应压力仍然是影响有国际移民史的青少年心理健康的一个重要因素。本综述对研究现状进行了探讨,明确了定居环境的重要性,并就未来与移民青少年心理健康相关的研究方向、支持性政策和实践注意事项提出了建议。

期刊介绍: Community Mental Health Journal focuses on the needs of people experiencing serious forms of psychological distress, as well as the structures established to address those needs. Areas of particular interest include critical examination of current paradigms of diagnosis and treatment, socio-structural determinants of mental health, social hierarchies within the public mental health systems, and the intersection of public mental health programs and social/racial justice and health equity. While this is the journal of the American Association for Community Psychiatry, we welcome manuscripts reflecting research from a range of disciplines on recovery-oriented services, public health policy, clinical delivery systems, advocacy, and emerging and innovative practices.
