Abstract

This study explores the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on low-income, Latinx mothers in Southern California with a history of depression, including undocumented mothers and members of mixed status families. Drawing participants from a parent study that provided a maternal depression intervention to Head Start mothers (n = 119), this mixed method study integrates qualitative and quantitative data in a convergent design. Thirty-four mothers completed semi-structured qualitative interviews and standardized questionnaires in the fall of 2020. Mothers shared overwhelming economic difficulties, with the majority reporting that their family income decreased and half reporting that they were unable to pay for housing. Stressors were compounded for undocumented mothers and members of mixed-status families who were excluded from major relief programs. Stress affected maternal mental health, and mothers with precarious status reported differences in functioning. Mothers also identified positive ways that they coped with adversity. Results show that Latinx mothers with a history of depression, particularly mothers with precarious immigration status, continue to suffer considerable economic, social, and emotional impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Social workers can support the human rights of this population by advocating for financial relief, food assistance, and the expansion of medical-legal partnerships and physical and mental health services.

有抑郁症病史的拉丁裔母亲与流行病相关的压力和复原力:移民身份的差异。
这项研究探讨了新冠肺炎大流行对南加州有抑郁症病史的低收入拉丁裔母亲的影响,包括无证母亲和混合身份家庭成员。从父母研究中抽取参与者,该研究为领先的母亲提供了母亲抑郁症干预(n = 119),这项混合方法研究将定性和定量数据融合在一个收敛的设计中。2020年秋季,34位母亲完成了半结构化的定性访谈和标准化问卷调查。母亲们面临着巨大的经济困难,大多数母亲报告说她们的家庭收入减少,一半的母亲报告说他们无力支付住房费用。无证母亲和被排除在主要救济计划之外的混合身份家庭成员的压力更大。压力影响了母亲的心理健康,状态不稳定的母亲报告说,她们的功能存在差异。母亲们还发现了应对逆境的积极方式。结果显示,有抑郁症病史的拉丁裔母亲,尤其是移民身份不稳定的母亲,继续受到新冠肺炎大流行的经济、社会和情感影响。社会工作者可以通过倡导财政救济、粮食援助、扩大医疗法律伙伴关系和身心健康服务来支持这一人群的人权。
