from 9th Annual Muslim Mental Health Conference Modeling the Relationships Between Discrimination, Depression, Substance Use, and Spirituality with Muslim Americans: A National Sample Tarek Zidan, PhD Indiana University David R. Hodge, PhD Arizona State University Altaf Husain, PhD Howard University Background: This study sought to examine the relationship between discrimination and two health outcomes of critical importance to social work educatorsdepression and substance usein tandem with the protective effects of spirituality. Drawing from stress/coping theory, a theoretically based model was developed and tested using structural equation modeling (SEM) with a national sample of selfidentified Muslims (N = 265). In addition to demographic items, the selfreport survey included measures of perceived discrimination, developed by the Pew Research Center (2011); depression, assessed with the short form of the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CESD); substance use; and spirituality. After pilot testing, the survey was placed online and various Islamic organizations were contacted. Methods: Based upon prior related research, it was hypothesized that higher levels of discrimination would predicts higher levels of both depression and 74 Tarek Zidan, David Hodge, and Altaf Husain substance use, and spirituality would mediate the relationship between discrimination and both health outcomes. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was conducted using AMOS. Preliminary analyses indicated that some variables were highly skewed (e.g., substance use). Mardia’s test of multivariate normality was not supported, violating a key assumption upon which Maximum Likelihood estimation is based. Accordingly, the asymptotically distribution free estimator was used. Results: Findings show partial support for the study hypotheses. Discrimination predicted higher levels of depressive symptoms. Discrimination did not, however, predict higher levels of substance use. Spirituality did not function as a mediator. Rather, spirituality exhibited an independent effect on both depression and substance use. In other words, higher levels of spirituality predicted lower levels of depression and substance use, apart from the effects of discrimination. Discussion: The results regarding the protective effects of spirituality on depression and substance use underscore the importance of incorporating Islam’s spiritual strengths into direct practice content. For instance, courses featuring training in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) might include content on adapting CBT protocols on cultural sensitivity a strategy to increase the cultural relevance and effectiveness of the intervention.
来自第9届年度穆斯林心理健康会议对美国穆斯林歧视、抑郁、物质使用和灵性之间的关系进行建模:一个国家样本Tarek Zidan博士印第安纳大学David R. Hodge博士亚利桑那州立大学Altaf Husain博士霍华德大学背景:本研究旨在探讨歧视与两种对社会工作教育者至关重要的健康结果之间的关系:抑郁和物质使用,以及精神的保护作用。根据压力/应对理论,建立了一个基于理论的模型,并使用结构方程模型(SEM)对自认为是穆斯林的国家样本(N = 265)进行了测试。除了人口统计项目,自我报告调查还包括皮尤研究中心(Pew Research Center)(2011年)开发的感知歧视指标;抑郁症,用流行病学研究中心抑郁量表(CESD)的简短形式进行评估;物质使用;和灵性。经过初步测试后,调查被放到网上,并联系了各种伊斯兰组织。方法:在前人研究的基础上,假设歧视水平越高,抑郁和药物使用水平也越高,而灵性在歧视与两种健康结果的关系中起中介作用。利用AMOS进行结构方程建模(SEM)。初步分析表明,一些变量高度倾斜(例如,药物使用)。不支持Mardia的多元正态性检验,违反了极大似然估计所基于的一个关键假设。因此,使用渐近分布自由估计量。结果:研究结果部分支持研究假设。歧视预示着更高程度的抑郁症状。然而,歧视并不能预测更高水平的药物使用。灵性并没有起到调解的作用。相反,精神对抑郁和药物使用都有独立的影响。换句话说,除了歧视的影响外,更高的灵性水平预示着更低的抑郁和物质使用水平。讨论:关于精神对抑郁和物质使用的保护作用的结果强调了将伊斯兰教的精神力量纳入直接实践内容的重要性。例如,以认知行为疗法(CBT)培训为特色的课程可能包括有关调整CBT文化敏感性协议的内容,这是一种提高干预的文化相关性和有效性的策略。

Researchers have found that many American Muslim immigrants (AMIs) suffer from mental health problems, and an array of studies have identified racism and mental health stigma as key factors that negatively impact AMI psychological wellbeing. To date, no one has synthesized this literature into a cohesive review. To address this need, we have reviewed literature on racism and mental health stigma using Bronfenbrenner’s (1977) Ecological Systems Theory as an intersectional framework. Our findings indicate that AMIs’ mental health is impacted by racism and mental health stigma that emanate from distal (i.e., macrosystem) and proximal (i.e., microsystem) settings. We highlight the interactions among these factors, identify gaps in the literature, and detail clinical implications. Specified future directions emphasize the need for more empirical research that considers AMI mental health through a transactional lens.

This study investigated the potential impact of attachment styles and external shame on depression symptoms among married couples from lowincome apartments in the suburbs of Kuala Lumpur. A doortodoor approach was used to recruit participants and collect data. Three research scales were used in this study: the Experience in Close RelationshipRevised Version questionnaire was used to measure individual differences in adult attachment styles, the Other as Shamer Scale was used to measure external shame, and the Personal Health Questionnaire was used to measure depression symptoms. This study reports that the 4 Nor Kadir, Wan Sulaiman, Asmawati Desa, Fatimah Omar, Fatimah Halim, Fatimah Yusooff most common depression symptoms reported are among individuals who experienced depression symptoms for less than one month. Results showed that dualinsecure couples (wives’ anxiety attachment and husbands’ avoidance attachment, wives’ avoidance attachment and husbands’ avoidance attachment) were significantly correlated with depression in a sample of the wives. The findings also revealed that a specific type of dualinsecure couples (wives’ anxiety attachment and husbands’ avoidance attachment) was a predictor of depression symptoms. These results provide evidence for a role of specific dualinsecure couples and external shame on depression symptoms.
