Abstract

The global economic crisis of the previous decade has accelerated internal mobility in the European Union. The main objective was to analyse perceived stress and mental health among Spanish immigrants and non-immigrants, as well as gender differences, and to examine the mediation role of perceived stress in the relationship between migration protective factors and mental health. A convenience sample (N = 941) was obtained by snowball sampling, contacting with social networks during 2014 and 2015. Spanish immigrants (n = 719) living in Germany or United Kingdom and non-immigrants (n = 222) living in Spain answered an online survey with a questionnaire about socio-demographic and migration variables (immigrants) as well as PSS-14 and GQH-28. The low level of perceived stress and mental health symptoms found were similar in Spanish immigrants and non-immigrants. Women immigrants presented slightly higher rates of prevalence of somatisation and anxiety/insomnia and higher perceived stress. A parsimonious structural equation model with two protective migration factors was obtained (R2 = .58), which had direct and indirect effects on mental health through perceived stress. The migration process was not related to poorer mental health in the European context, and gender differences were small. These findings could be explained by the privileged migration conditions of Spanish immigrants.

德国和英国西班牙移民与非移民的心理健康及移民保护因素比较
前十年的全球经济危机加速了欧盟内部的流动性。主要目的是分析西班牙移民和非移民的感知压力和心理健康,以及性别差异,并研究感知压力在移民保护因素和心理健康之间关系中的中介作用。2014年和2015年期间,通过雪球抽样获得了一个方便样本(N=941),与社交网络接触。居住在德国或英国的西班牙移民(n=719)和居住在西班牙的非移民(n=222)通过一份关于社会人口和移民变量(移民)以及PSS-14和GQH-28的问卷回答了一项在线调查。在西班牙移民和非移民中发现的低水平的感知压力和心理健康症状相似。女性移民的躯体化和焦虑/失眠患病率略高,感知压力也更高。获得了一个包含两个保护性迁移因素的简约结构方程模型(R2=0.58),该模型通过感知压力对心理健康有直接和间接影响。在欧洲,移民过程与较差的心理健康状况无关,性别差异也很小。这些发现可以用西班牙移民的特权移民条件来解释。
