摘要

英国的生活费用危机对单亲父母的心理健康产生了深远影响，使经济和社会心理挑战变得更加复杂。本研究通过对四位女性单亲家长进行半结构化在线访谈，采用主题分析法探讨了经济负担、情绪波动、为满足子女需求而做出的牺牲以及加剧的社会隔离如何影响她们的心理健康。社会认同理论的应用表明了社会污名的加剧效应。研究结果强调，有必要制定有针对性的政策和干预措施来缓解这些压力，并建议进一步研究单亲父母中性别、种族和社会经济地位的交叉性。

Heat or Eat: Exploring the Impact of the Cost-Of-Living Crisis on Single parents’ Mental Wellbeing in the United Kingdom

The cost-of-living crisis in the United Kingdom has profoundly affected the mental wellbeing of single parents, compounding economic and psychosocial challenges. This study, through semi-structured online interviews with four female single parents, used thematic analysis to explore how financial burdens, mood fluctuations, sacrifices for children’s needs, and intensified social isolation impacted their mental health. The application of Social Identity Theory demonstrates the exacerbating effects of societal stigmas. The results highlight the need for targeted policies and interventions to alleviate these strains and recommend further research into the intersectionality of gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status among single parents.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Poverty is the first refereed journal to recognize the inequalities in our social, political, and economic structures, presenting progressing strategies that expand society"s increasingly narrow notions of poverty and inequality. The journal"s broad understanding of poverty—more inclusive than the traditional view—keeps the focus on people"s need for education, employment, safe and affordable housing, nutrition, and adequate medical care, and on interventions that range from direct practice to community organization to social policy analysis. The journal"s articles will increase your knowledge and awareness of oppressive forces such as racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia that contribute to the maintenance of poverty and inequality.
