Abstract

The purpose of this systematic review was to identify the mental health symptoms endorsed by DACA recipients. This study included qualitative and quantitative original, peer-reviewed articles related to mental health or psychological state or wellbeing of DACA recipients. Articles were abstracted from PsychInfo, PubMed, and GoogleScholar. The results included a total of fifteen articles, which were divided into qualitative and quantitative findings. The qualitative articles had a common theme of endorsement of depressive symptoms and negative affect associated to changes in familial and financial responsibilities and living in a difficult sociopolitical climate in the United States. The quantitative articles identified lower odds or symptom severity of depression and other internalizing symptoms compared to undocumented individuals. This summary review was limited by the ample exclusion of access to health care studies among DACamented individuals, which could have provided a broader picture about the health and accessibility for DACA recipients. Despite the limitations, this review identifies DACA as a policy that allows this group to improve their social function and quality of life compared to undocumented individuals but still endorse high levels of negative affect related to perceived challenging sociopolitical atmospheres

DACA 接受者的心理健康症状：计划实施十年之际的系统回顾

本系统性综述旨在确定 DACA 收件人认可的心理健康症状。本研究收录了与 DACA 收件人的心理健康或心理状态或福祉有关的定性和定量原创同行评审文章。文章摘自 PsychInfo、PubMed 和 GoogleScholar。研究结果共包括 15 篇文章，分为定性和定量研究结果。定性文章有一个共同的主题，即抑郁症状和消极情绪与家庭和经济责任的变化以及生活在美国艰难的社会政治环境中有关。定量文章发现，与无证人士相比，抑郁症和其他内化症状的几率或症状严重程度较低。本综述由于大量排除了对无证人士获得医疗保健的研究而受到限制，因为这些研究本可以提供有关无证人士健康和获得医疗保健的更广泛情况。尽管存在这些局限性，但本综述认为，与无证人士相比，DACA 是一项允许该群体改善其社会功能和生活质量的政策，但该群体仍会因认为具有挑战性的社会政治氛围而产生高水平的负面情绪。
