摘要

移民的存在是当今大多数社会的社会现实。大多数关于移民健康的研究来自移民热门国家。因此，发展中国家对移徙者健康的研究较少。因此，本研究调查了尼日利亚利比里亚移民的心理困扰，羞耻感和社会支持是相关的。与会者是居住在尼日利亚难民营的利比里亚移民。采用定量研究方法，通过对520名参与者的问卷调查收集数据，其中64.2%为男性，35.8%为女性。研究结果显示，容易感到羞耻会加剧心理困扰。另一方面，社会支持与较少的心理困扰有关。讨论了这些调查结果的影响，并强调要加大力度研究尼日利亚境内移民的健康问题。

Correlates of Psychological Distress among Liberian Migrants in Nigeria

ABSTRACT Migrant presence is a social reality in most societies of today. Most of the research on migrant health comes from countries popular for migration. Thus, research on migrant health is less available in developing worlds. This study, therefore, investigated psychological distress among Liberian migrants in Nigeria with shame and social supports as correlates. Participants were Liberian migrants residing in a refugee camp in Nigeria. With a quantitative research approach, data were collected via the use of questionnaires from 520 participants, 64.2% men and 35.8% women. Findings revealed that psychological distress is heightened by a predisposition to experience shame. On the other hand, social support was associated with less psychological distress. The implications of these findings were discussed and emphasis was placed on committing more effort to research on migrant health in Nigeria.
