The COVID-19 pandemic heightened anti-Asian racism towards East Asian diasporas in North America. Experiences of racism encountered by East Asian communities have been documented to negatively impact their mental health.
A scoping review was undertaken following Arksey and O'Malley's (2005) methodology to (a) map the foci of literature on racism and the mental health of East Asian diasporas in North America and (b) identify gaps in the current literature.
A total of 1309 articles were identified in May 2021. Based on the inclusion criteria, 35 records were included. Two distinct mental health foci were found: mental health outcomes and mental healthcare access and utilization. The majority ( = 22) of the articles focused on racism at the interpersonal level. Six articles provided anti-racism solutions at the individual level, such as overcoming biases. Five articles targeted anti-racism solutions from both the individual and institutional levels, while 1 article addressed barriers at the institutional level, such as dismantling sanctioned power hierarchies.
The expanding knowledge base on COVID-19-related racial discrimination is reminiscent of previous literature examining the history of anti-Asian racism in North America. Greater attention is needed to navigate impactful anti-racism solutions for East Asian populations' mental health in North America.
新冠疫情加剧了北美地区针对东亚侨民的反亚裔种族主义。据记载，东亚社区所遭遇的种族主义经历对其心理健康产生了负面影响。
按照阿克西和奥马利（2005年）的方法进行了一项范围综述，以（a）梳理北美地区有关种族主义与东亚侨民心理健康的文献焦点，以及（b）找出当前文献中的空白。
2021年5月共识别出1309篇文章。根据纳入标准，纳入了35条记录。发现了两个不同的心理健康焦点：心理健康结果以及心理医疗服务的可及性与利用情况。大多数文章（n = 22）关注人际层面的种族主义。六篇文章提供了个体层面的反种族主义解决方案，如克服偏见。五篇文章针对个体和机构层面的反种族主义解决方案，而一篇文章探讨了机构层面的障碍，如拆除认可的权力等级制度。
关于新冠疫情相关种族歧视的知识基础不断扩大，这让人想起之前研究北美反亚裔种族主义历史的文献。需要更加关注为北美东亚人群的心理健康找到有效的反种族主义解决方案。
