Amidst the uncertainty of a shifting political landscape, our study examined stress and sleep problems experienced by both Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) undergraduates and non-DACA undocumented immigrants in an undergraduate population, in relation to students who were US citizens. We surveyed 969 students (93% Hispanic; 69% female) in 2017 or 2019 using established measures of stress, sleep quality, and insomnia. Collapsed across years, undocumented students reported significantly greater stress than citizens and DACA students, but DACA students did not differ from citizens. No differences were found in sleep for either quality or insomnia. Additionally, DACA student stress was significantly higher in 2019 than 2017, rising to a level similar to that of undocumented students and that differed significantly from citizens. Undocumented students appear to experience greater stress than students who are U.S. citizens, but these differences do not extend to sleep quality or insomnia.
在政治格局不断变化的不确定环境下，我们的研究调查了在本科生群体中，有条件暂缓遣返童年入境者计划（DACA）的大学生和无身份移民与美国公民的学生相比，所经历的压力和睡眠问题。我们在 2017 年或 2019 年使用既定的压力、睡眠质量和失眠评估方法对 969 名学生（93%为西班牙裔；69%为女性）进行了调查。跨年份来看，无身份的学生报告的压力显著大于公民和 DACA 学生，但 DACA 学生与公民没有差异。在睡眠质量或失眠方面，没有发现差异。此外，DACA 学生的压力在 2019 年比 2017 年显著升高，上升到与无身份学生相似的水平，与公民显著不同。无身份的学生似乎比美国公民的学生经历更大的压力，但这些差异并不延伸到睡眠质量或失眠。
