Efforts in the prevention and treatment of depression among Hispanic immigrant women require studies to identify modifiable factors of depression. Some factors that may merit investigation are gender roles such as egalitarian gender attitudes, marianismo, and self-silencing.
This cross-sectional study included 231 Hispanic immigrant women living in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Logistic regression was used to examine associations of covariates, egalitarian gender attitudes, marianismo, and self-silencing in relation to depression.
Egalitarian gender attitudes were not associated with depression. For marianismo domains, higher scores on the spiritual pillar scale were associated with lower odds of depression. With regard to self-silencing, higher scores on externalizing self-perception and divided self were associated with higher odds of depression.
Findings add to the limited literature on depression among Hispanic immigrants and provides some insight on sociocultural factors that may be considered in depression interventions for Hispanic immigrant women.
预防和治疗西班牙裔移民女性的抑郁症需要进行研究，以确定可改变的抑郁因素。一些值得研究的因素包括性别角色，如平等性别态度、圣母崇拜和自我沉默。
本横断面研究纳入了 231 名居住在佛罗里达州迈阿密戴德县的西班牙裔移民女性。采用逻辑回归分析方法，探讨了协变量、平等性别态度、圣母崇拜和自我沉默与抑郁之间的关系。
平等性别态度与抑郁无关。在圣母崇拜的各个领域，精神支柱得分越高，抑郁的可能性越低。关于自我沉默，外化自我感知和分裂自我的得分越高，抑郁的可能性越高。
这些发现增加了关于西班牙裔移民中抑郁症的有限文献，并为可能考虑在西班牙裔移民女性抑郁症干预措施中考虑的社会文化因素提供了一些见解。
