摘要
目的:接触与移民有关的创伤事件可能会增加移民在抵达后立即遭受痛苦以及在重新安置后遭受复杂创伤的风险。在边境和全国各地的拘留设施中,被拘留的拉丁裔移民青少年人数创下了历史新高。然而,很少有研究探讨被拘留青少年的心理创伤后遗症。通过弥补这些不足,本文可为政策和最佳实践提供参考,以恪守人权并促进文化适应:本文介绍了针对公立高中拉丁裔新入学青少年的社区合作研究。研究 1(n = 127)使用定量数据来考察被拘留的时间和受到的创伤是否与社会心理适应有关。研究 2(n = 46)使用定性数据探讨被拘留和相关创伤的生活经历:研究 1 的结果发现,超过三分之一的参与者曾被拘留至少 4 周(36%),近一半的参与者目睹或经历过创伤事件(46%)。虽然被拘留时间与内化或外化症状无关,但遭受创伤与更多的内化和外化症状有关。研究2的结果显示了与被拘留有关的特定压力,包括多次迁移、非人条件、法律问题和家庭分离,以及在被拘留期间和重新安置后的复杂心理后遗症,还有一些令人满意的经历:研究结果有助于人们对移民拘留的独特经历及其心理后遗症有新的认识,并可为法律、政策和教育实践提供信息,从而直接影响最近重新定居的拉丁裔青年。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)。
"Estuvimos en una hielera": Migration trauma and detainment among newcomer Latinx adolescents.
Objective: Exposure to migration-related traumatic events may increase the risk for immediate distress upon arrival and complex trauma following resettlement. Record numbers of Latinx immigrant youth are being held in detainment facilities at the border and around the country. However, little research examines the psychological sequelae of trauma among detained youth. Through addressing these gaps, this article can inform policies and best practices that adhere to human rights and foster acculturative adjustment.
Method: This article describes community collaborative research with newcomer Latinx adolescents enrolled in public high schools. Study 1 (n = 127) used quantitative data to examine whether time in detention and trauma exposure were associated with psychosocial adjustment. Study 2 (n = 46) used qualitative data to explore the lived experiences of detainment and related trauma.
Results: Study 1 results found that over a third of participants had been detained for at least 4 weeks (36%) and nearly half the participants witnessed or experienced a traumatic event (46%). Although time in detainment was not related to internalizing or externalizing symptoms, exposure to trauma was associated with more internalizing and more externalizing symptoms. Study 2 results illustrated specific detainment-related stressors, including multiple relocations, inhumane conditions, legal concerns, and family separation, as well as complex psychological sequelae, both during detainment and after resettlement, as well as some satisfactory experiences.
Conclusions: Results contribute new understanding of the unique experiences of immigration detainment and its psychological sequelae and can inform legal, policy, and educational practices that directly impact recently resettled Latinx youth.
