Filial piety is important to Chinese adults and is associated with mental health among older Chinese immigrants in the United States. However, it is unclear whether filial piety is linked to the mental health of Chinese immigrants in European countries. Therefore, this study aims to gain insights into the association between mental health and filial piety of first-generation Chinese immigrants in the Netherlands. A random sample of 143 participants took part in the study. A cross-sectional design was used. Data were collected through a postal survey conducted in the Chinese language between January 2021 and March 2021. The survey included a Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC), and expected and perceived filial piety scale. The results indicated that in general, perceived filial piety exceeded expected filial piety ('filial piety sufficient'). Regression analysis revealed that 'filial piety sufficient' is associated with a higher emotional MHC (B =.498, =.035). This study provided new insights into the wellbeing of older Chinese immigrants in the Netherlands and showed accordance with the literature that filial piety remains an important factor for mental health.
孝道对中国成年人很重要，并且与美国的华裔老年移民的心理健康相关。然而，尚不清楚孝道是否与欧洲国家的华裔移民的心理健康有关。因此，本研究旨在深入了解荷兰第一代华裔移民心理健康与孝道之间的关联。143名参与者的随机样本参与了该研究。采用横断面设计。数据通过2021年1月至2021年3月期间以中文进行的邮政调查收集。该调查包括一个心理健康连续体简表（MHC）以及预期孝道和感知孝道量表。结果表明，总体而言，感知孝道超过了预期孝道（“孝道充足”）。回归分析显示，“孝道充足”与更高的情绪MHC相关（B =.498， =.035）。本研究为荷兰华裔老年移民的幸福感提供了新的见解，并表明与文献一致，孝道仍然是心理健康的一个重要因素。
