Research on stress-related health outcomes in African-American women often neglects "network-stress": stress related to events that occur to family, friends, or loved ones. Data from the African-American Women's Well-Being Study were analyzed to examine self-stress and network-stress for occurrence, perceived stressfulness, and association with symptoms of psychological distress. Women reported a higher number of network-stress events compared with self-stress events. Occurrences of network-stress were perceived as undesirable and bothersome as self-stress. Both types of stress were significantly associated with psychological distress symptoms. Including network-stress may provide a more complete picture of the stress experiences of African-American women.
针对非裔美国女性与压力相关的健康结果的研究往往忽视了“人际网络压力”：即与家人、朋友或爱人所发生的事件相关的压力。对非裔美国女性幸福研究的数据进行了分析，以检验自身压力和人际网络压力的发生情况、感知到的压力程度以及与心理困扰症状的关联。与自身压力事件相比，女性报告的人际网络压力事件数量更多。人际网络压力事件的发生被认为与自身压力一样令人不快且困扰。两种压力类型均与心理困扰症状显著相关。纳入人际网络压力可能会更全面地呈现非裔美国女性的压力体验情况。
