This study examined Ruiz et al.'s sociocultural model of Hispanic health resilience by assessing trauma exposure and symptoms and Hispanic cultural values in relation to the physical health of 97 Central American immigrant families, within 24 hours of arrival to the United States. Increased posttraumatic stress symptoms, but not exposure, were associated with increased physical health concerns for parents and children. Hispanic cultural values moderated trauma-health relations for adult health only. Identifying posttraumatic stress symptoms as a significant correlate of physical health in Latino immigrant parents and children is critical to identifying vulnerabilities in need of future research and interventions.
本研究通过评估97个中美洲移民家庭抵达美国24小时内的创伤暴露与症状以及与身体健康相关的西班牙文化价值观，检验了鲁伊斯等人提出的西班牙裔健康恢复力社会文化模型。创伤后应激症状增加（而非创伤暴露增加）与父母和子女对身体健康的担忧增加相关。西班牙文化价值观仅调节了成人健康方面的创伤与健康关系。将创伤后应激症状确定为拉丁裔移民父母和子女身体健康的一个重要相关因素，对于确定未来研究和干预所需关注的脆弱性至关重要。
