Tóm tắt

Nghiên cứu này nhằm khám phá mối quan hệ giữa sức khỏe tâm thần, các yếu tố bảo vệ và sự hội nhập văn hóa ở thanh niên Đông Nam Á bằng cách sử dụng phân tích theo giới tính. Dữ liệu từ Khảo sát Sức khỏe Thanh thiếu niên British Columbia năm 2008 đã được sử dụng để xem xét sự khác biệt trong căng thẳng cực đoan và sự tuyệt vọng theo sự hội nhập văn hóa. Mối liên hệ giữa cảm xúc không thoải mái và các yếu tố bảo vệ giả thuyết đã được kiểm tra bằng cách sử dụng hồi quy logistic. Các phân tích phân tầng đã được thực hiện để đánh giá sự khác biệt liên quan đến giới tính. Thanh niên mới nhập cư báo cáo xác suất cao hơn về cảm xúc không thoải mái. Mối quan hệ gia đình và mối quan hệ với trường học liên quan đến xác suất thấp hơn về căng thẳng cực đoan và sự tuyệt vọng ở các cô gái. Mối quan hệ gia đình có liên quan đến xác suất thấp hơn về căng thẳng cực đoan và sự tuyệt vọng ở các chàng trai. Sự kết nối văn hóa cao hơn liên quan đến xác suất thấp hơn về sự tuyệt vọng ở các chàng trai nhưng lại có xác suất cao hơn về căng thẳng cực đoan ở các cô gái. Các phát hiện được thảo luận liên quan đến sự hội nhập văn hóa và các mẫu căn cứ vào giới tính trong các yếu tố bảo vệ sức khỏe tâm thần ở thanh niên nhập cư Đông Nam Á.
