摘要

本研究旨在探讨抑郁症的严重程度、性别、文化适应和文化涵化与阿拉伯/中东北非（MENA）裔美国人的求助态度之间的关系。我们对 296 名阿拉伯/中东北非参与者（154 名女性和 142 名男性）进行了分层线性回归。在控制了相关的人口统计学变量后，抑郁严重程度与求助呈负相关。此外，抑郁症严重程度、性别和文化程度对求助态度的影响存在明显的三方交互作用。对于抑郁症状较严重的女性来说，文化程度越高，求助态度越不积极；相反，男性文化程度越高，求助态度越积极。这些结果对从事阿拉伯/美尼亚人群工作的临床医生具有重要意义。临床医生应该意识到文化适应和文化包涵的过程，以及抑郁症状的严重程度可能对阿拉伯/美尼亚女性和男性参与治疗产生不同影响的方式。未来的研究需要对这些关系的内在机制进行研究。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, 版权所有）。

Depression, gender, and help-seeking among Arab/Middle Eastern North African (MENA) Americans: The role of enculturation.

The purpose of this study was to examine the ways in which depression severity, gender, acculturation, and enculturation are associated with help-seeking attitudes among Arab/Middle Eastern North African (MENA) Americans. A hierarchical linear regression was conducted with a sample of 296 Arab/MENA participants (154 women and 142 men). After controlling for pertinent demographic variables, depression severity was negatively associated with help-seeking. Further, there was a significant three-way interaction between depression severity, gender, and enculturation on help-seeking attitudes. For women with higher levels of depression symptoms, higher levels of enculturation were associated with less positive help-seeking attitudes; conversely, higher levels of enculturation for men were associated with more positive help-seeking attitudes. These results have significant implications for clinicians working with Arab/MENA American populations. Practitioners should be aware of acculturation and enculturation processes as well as the ways in which depression symptom severity may influence engagement in treatment differentially for Arab/MENA women and men. Future research is needed to examine the mechanisms underlying these relationships. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).
