Abstract

We examined the association of anticipatory negative consequences related to the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of Latinx young adults. Data are from a community-based study with first- and second-generation immigrant, Latinx young adults (18–26 years old). Participants completed an online survey about mental health and anticipated personal and family-related consequences due to the pandemic. Regression models examined the effects of anticipated consequences on risk of clinically significant mental health symptoms. Latinx young adults anticipated moderate levels of negative consequences during the pandemic, including expected illness, economic strain, and psychosocial concerns. Anticipating psychosocial concerns was associated with serious psychological distress, whereas anticipating economic hardship had a limited effect on somatization and anxiety symptoms. Probability of contracting COVID-19 illness was not associated with mental health symptoms. Addressing the anticipation of negative consequences is important because these consequences threaten mental health and wellbeing. Strategies are needed to alleviate continuing pandemic-related stressors among Latinx communities to promote mental health.
预测 COVID-19 大流行期间的压力:拉丁裔年轻人的心理健康
我们研究了与 COVID-19 大流行相关的预期负面影响与拉丁裔年轻人心理健康的关系。数据来自一项以社区为基础的研究,研究对象为第一代和第二代移民、拉丁裔年轻成年人(18-26 岁)。参与者填写了一份关于心理健康以及大流行对个人和家庭的预期影响的在线调查。回归模型检验了预期后果对出现临床重大心理健康症状风险的影响。拉美裔年轻人预计大流行会带来中等程度的负面影响,包括预期疾病、经济压力和社会心理问题。对社会心理问题的预期与严重的心理困扰有关,而对经济困难的预期对躯体化和焦虑症状的影响有限。感染 COVID-19 疾病的概率与心理健康症状无关。解决对负面后果的预期非常重要,因为这些后果会威胁到心理健康和幸福。需要制定策略来减轻拉丁裔社区中与流行病相关的持续压力,以促进心理健康。
