摘要

关系质量在心理健康中起着重要作用，但对其在重新安置难民中的重要性知之甚少。我们调查了在澳大利亚重新定居的难民感知的关系质量和心理症状之间的关系。方法:参与者是2013年至2017年5年间参与澳大利亚建立新生活(BNLA)研究的738名成年难民(主要申请人，83.5%男性，M = 43.2岁，SD = 12.3)及其伴侣。分别使用凯斯勒量表(K6)、创伤后应激障碍-8 (PTSD-8)和二元适应量表-4 (DAS-4)对参与者进行心理困扰、创伤后应激症状(PTSS)和感知关系质量的评估。结果:多元回归分析发现，在主要申请人中，感知关系质量预测了入境后的心理困扰(p = .0006)，感知关系质量的变化预测了一年期间ptsd的变化(p = .0003)。当对伴侣进行分析时，结果与主要申请人的结果大致一致，除了关系质量的变化确实预测了心理困扰的变化，但不能预测ptsd的变化。讨论:关系质量似乎与心理困扰有关，但关系质量的改善可能对减少创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)症状有特别的效用。这些结果突出了关系质量作为难民心理健康的关键相关因素的重要性。

The Association Between Perceived Relationship Quality and Psychological Symptoms in Refugees

Introduction: Relationship quality plays an important role in mental health, but little is known about its importance among resettled refugees. We investigated the association between perceived relationship quality and psychological symptoms among refugees resettled in Australia. Methods: Participants were 738 adult refugees (principal applicants, 83.5% male, M = 43.2 years, SD = 12.3) and their partners who participated in the Building a New Life in Australia (BNLA) study across 5 years from 2013 to 2017. Participants were assessed for psychological distress, posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS), and perceived relationship quality, using the Kessler scale (K6), the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder-8 (PTSD-8), and the Dyadic Adjustment Scale-4 (DAS-4), respectively. Results: Multiple regression analyses found that, among principal applicants, perceived relationship quality predicted psychological distress (p = .0006) at post-arrival, and changes in perceived relationship quality predicted changes in PTSS (p = .0003) across a one-year interval. When partners were analyzed, results were broadly consistent with those of the principal applicants, except that changes in relationship quality did predict changes in psychological distress, but not changes in PTSS. Discussion: Relationship quality appeared to be associated with psychological distress, but improvements in relationship quality may have particular utility for reductions in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. These results highlight the importance of relationship quality as a key correlate of refugee mental health.

期刊介绍： This journal is devoted to the application of theory and research from social psychology toward the better understanding of human adaptation and adjustment, including both the alleviation of psychological problems and distress (e.g., psychopathology) and the enhancement of psychological well-being among the psychologically healthy. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) traditionally defined psychopathology (e.g., depression), common emotional and behavioral problems in living (e.g., conflicts in close relationships), the enhancement of subjective well-being, and the processes of psychological change in everyday life (e.g., self-regulation) and professional settings (e.g., psychotherapy and counseling). Articles reporting the results of theory-driven empirical research are given priority, but theoretical articles, review articles, clinical case studies, and essays on professional issues are also welcome. Articles describing the development of new scales (personality or otherwise) or the revision of existing scales are not appropriate for this journal.
