Abstract

Objective: Experiences of everyday discrimination are linked with mental health issues for sexual minority individuals, including posttraumatic symptoms (PTS), yet it is unclear whether experiences of discrimination are linked with PTS after accounting for the influence of traumatic life events. This study sought to increase understanding of the link between everyday discrimination and PTS, among sexual minority men.

Method: A sample of 290 gay men living in the United States completed an online survey including measures of traumatic life events, everyday discrimination, and PTS.

Results: Logistic regressions supported a link between everyday discrimination and meeting the cutoff for PTS, after accounting for traumatic life events. Furthermore, everyday discrimination was linked with higher scores on all symptom clusters of PTS.

性少数群体男性的创伤性生活事件、日常歧视和创伤后症状。

目的：日常歧视经历与性少数群体的心理健康问题有关，包括创伤后症状（PTS），但在考虑创伤性生活事件的影响后，歧视经历是否与创伤后症状有关尚不清楚。本研究旨在进一步了解性少数群体男性日常歧视与创伤后症状之间的联系：290名居住在美国的男同性恋者完成了一项在线调查，调查内容包括创伤性生活事件、日常歧视和创伤后应激障碍：结果：在考虑了创伤性生活事件后，逻辑回归支持日常歧视与达到创伤后应激障碍的临界值之间存在联系。此外，日常歧视还与 PTS 所有症状群的较高得分有关：结论：研究结果支持日常歧视与创伤后应激障碍之间存在联系，其程度超过了临床临界值。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, 版权所有）。
