Abstract

Introduction: Despite evidence showing Latinos' high prevalence of mental health, little is known about Latina migrant farmworkers' mental health experiences, especially those working in Midwestern states. Considering the multiple vulnerabilities observed among Latina migrant farmworkers, it is necessary to gain insight from own accounts and perceptions of mental health and mental health-seeking experiences.

Method: A qualitative descriptive approach, using in-depth semi-structured interviews with open-ended questions, served to retrieve data from 34 Latina migrant farmworkers. This study was informed by Chicana, postcolonial, and Black feminist epistemologies.

Results: Thematic analysis identified themes within the data. These findings pertained to the conceptualization of mental health within the contexts of family, capacities, stigma, denial, and faith.

Discussion: Our results demonstrate the need for health care providers to consider Latina migrant farmworkers' perceptions about mental health and apply those in designing and implementing culturally informed policy and practice.

拉丁裔农民工心理健康认知的定性分析：来自威斯康星州的声音。

引言：尽管有证据表明拉丁裔人的心理健康患病率很高，但人们对拉丁裔农民工的心理健康经历知之甚少，尤其是那些在中西部州工作的农民工。考虑到在拉丁裔移民农场工人中观察到的多重脆弱性，有必要从自己的叙述和对心理健康的看法以及寻求心理健康的经历中获得见解。方法：采用定性描述性方法，使用开放式问题的深度半结构化访谈，检索34名拉丁裔农民工的数据。这项研究是根据奇卡纳、后殖民主义和黑人女权主义的认识论进行的。结果：专题分析确定了数据中的专题。这些发现涉及家庭、能力、污名、否认和信仰背景下心理健康的概念化。讨论：我们的研究结果表明，医疗保健提供者需要考虑拉丁裔移民农场工人对心理健康的看法，并将其应用于设计和实施文化知情的政策和实践。
