The aim of the study was to investigate mental health and resilience in adolescents who have been internationally adopted and their non-adopted peers and examine the potential interaction between adoption status and resilience on mental health problems. Data from the population based youth@hordaland-survey, conducted in Hordaland County, Norway, in 2012 was used. In all, 10 257 adolescents aged 16-19 years provided self-reported data on several mental health instruments. Of these, 45 adolescents were identified as internationally adopted. Adoptees reported more symptoms of depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and perfectionism than non-adopted adolescents, but there were no differences regarding resilience. Adolescents with higher resilience scores reported fewer symptoms of mental health problems, however, no interaction effects were found for adoption status and total resilience score on measures of mental health problems. Our findings indicate that knowledge of resilience factors can form the basis for preventive interventions.
该研究的目的是调查被国际收养的青少年及其未被收养的同龄人心理健康和心理韧性，并研究收养状况与心理韧性对心理健康问题的潜在相互作用。使用了2012年在挪威霍达兰郡进行的基于人群的“霍达兰青少年调查”的数据。共有10257名16至19岁的青少年提供了关于几种心理健康工具的自我报告数据。其中，45名青少年被确定为国际收养。与未被收养的青少年相比，被收养者报告的抑郁、注意力缺陷/多动障碍（ADHD）、强迫症（OCD）和完美主义症状更多，但在心理韧性方面没有差异。心理韧性得分较高的青少年报告的心理健康问题症状较少，然而，在心理健康问题测量中，未发现收养状况与总心理韧性得分之间存在交互作用。我们的研究结果表明，对心理韧性因素的了解可以为预防性干预措施奠定基础。
