Abstract

This study examines the factors influencing physical health status, specifically focusing on the gender differences in risk and promotive factors affecting health outcomes among Somali refugee youth displaced in Nairobi, Kenya (n = 227). A survey was used to assess participants' physical health along with psychosocial factors, somatic symptoms, and demographic characteristics. The study shows that religious belief and somatic symptoms among the total sample were significant predictors in influencing the outcome of physical health. A moderated mediation analysis and logistic regression analyses also revealed gender differences in associated factors as well as health status; female participants reported higher somatic symptoms, associated with a decline in physical health, whereas the protective effect of social support and religious belief promote was found only among male counterparts. Future studies and interventions would be benefited from a gender-specific approach to health promotion and coping mechanisms in this population.

流离失所的索马里难民青年的性别健康结果:社会支持和宗教信仰的作用。
本研究考察了影响身体健康状况的因素,特别关注肯尼亚内罗毕流离失所的索马里难民青年在风险和促进因素方面的性别差异(n = 227)。一项调查用于评估参与者的身体健康状况以及心理社会因素、身体症状和人口统计学特征。研究表明,总样本中的宗教信仰和身体症状是影响身体健康结果的重要预测因素。适度中介分析和逻辑回归分析也揭示了相关因素和健康状况的性别差异;女性参与者报告了更高的身体症状,与身体健康状况的下降有关,而社会支持和宗教信仰促进的保护作用仅在男性参与者中发现。今后的研究和干预措施将受益于在这一人群中采取针对性别的健康促进和应对机制。
