Latino immigrants are at increased risk for mental disorders due to social/economic disadvantages and stressful conditions associated with migration. Resilience-the ability to recover from stress-may provide protection given its association with lower rates of anxiety and depression. This study examines the relationship between protective factors, resilience, and psychological distress in Latino immigrants. A community-based participatory research study conducted with a Latino agency using in-person surveys to obtain the following data: Brief Resilience Scale, Brief Symptom Inventory, Duke University Religion Index, Multi-group Ethnic Identity measure, and the Interpersonal Support Evaluation List. Linear regression, and mediation analysis was performed using SPSS. There are 128 participants. Resilience was positively related to social support (p = 0.001) and religiosity (p = 0.006); inversely related to psychological distress (p = 0.001); and mediated the relationship between the two (p = 0.006). Promoting social support and religion in Latino communities can improve wellbeing by increasing resilience and reducing distress.
拉丁裔移民由于社会/经济劣势和与移民相关的紧张状况，面临更高的精神障碍风险。韧性——从压力中恢复的能力——可能会提供保护，因为它与较低的焦虑和抑郁发生率有关。本研究探讨了保护因素、韧性和拉丁裔移民心理困扰之间的关系。一项基于社区的参与式研究，与一家拉丁裔机构合作，使用面对面调查获得以下数据：简要韧性量表、简明症状量表、杜克大学宗教指数、多群体民族认同量表和人际支持评价量表。使用 SPSS 进行线性回归和中介分析。共有 128 名参与者。韧性与社会支持呈正相关（p=0.001）和宗教信仰呈正相关（p=0.006）；与心理困扰呈负相关（p=0.001）；并在两者之间起中介作用（p=0.006）。在拉丁裔社区中促进社会支持和宗教信仰可以通过提高韧性和减少困扰来改善幸福感。
