Hispanic immigrants experience more adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and depressive symptom chronicity/severity than non-Hispanic peers. Acculturation stress relates to both depressive symptoms and ACEs, but the mechanism is not well-understood. We conducted a secondary data analysis of baseline data, from an ongoing longitudinal study to test theoretically-based mediating and moderating effects of acculturation stress on the relationship between ACEs and depression in a sample of young adult Hispanic immigrants ( = 391). Results indicated ACEs predicted depressive symptoms. Mediation and moderation effects were significant for cumulative and distinct facets of acculturation stress. Implications for mental health nurses are discussed.
西班牙裔移民比非西班牙裔同龄人经历更多的不良童年经历 (ACEs) 和抑郁症状的持续性/严重程度。文化适应压力与抑郁症状和 ACEs 都有关，但机制尚不清楚。我们对一项正在进行的纵向研究的基线数据进行了二次数据分析，以测试文化适应压力在 ACEs 与年轻西班牙裔移民群体 ( = 391) 抑郁症状之间的关系中的理论中介和调节作用。结果表明 ACEs 预测了抑郁症状。文化适应压力的累积和不同方面具有显著的中介和调节效应。讨论了对心理健康护士的影响。
