Abstract

This paper explores the migration experiences, perceived COVID-19 impacts, and depression symptoms among Haitian migrants living in Santiago, Chile. Ninety-five participants from eight neighborhoods with a high density of Haitian migrants were recruited. Descriptive statistics, univariate analysis, and logistic regression analysis were conducted. Chi-squared tests were used to confirm univariate results. We found that 22% of participants had major depressive symptoms based on the CESD-R-20 scale, 87% reported major life changes due to COVID-19, and 78% said their migration plans had changed due to the pandemic. Factors associated with more depressive symptoms were being in debt (OR = 3.43) and experiencing discrimination (ORs: 0.60 to 6.19). Factors associated with less odds of depressive symptoms were social support (ORs: 0.06 to 0.25), change in migration plans due to COVID-19 (OR = 0.30), and planning to leave Chile (OR = 0.20). After accounting for relevant factors, planning to leave Chile is significantly predictive of fewer symptoms of depression. Haitian migrants living in Chile had a high prevalence of depression. Planning to leave Chile was a significant protector against depressive symptoms. Future studies should explore how nuanced experiences of uncertainty play out in migrants' lives, mental well-being, and planning for their future.

摘要

本文探讨了生活在智利圣地亚哥的海地移民的移民经历、感知的 COVID-19 影响和抑郁症状。从八个海地移民密度较高的社区招募了 95 名参与者。进行了描述性统计、单变量分析和逻辑回归分析。卡方检验用于确认单变量结果。我们发现,根据 CESD-R-20 量表,22%的参与者有重度抑郁症状,87%的参与者报告 COVID-19 导致重大生活变化,78%的参与者表示他们的移民计划因大流行而改变。与更多抑郁症状相关的因素是负债(OR=3.43)和经历歧视(ORs:0.60 至 6.19)。与较少抑郁症状相关的因素是社会支持(ORs:0.06 至 0.25)、因 COVID-19 而改变移民计划(OR=0.30)和计划离开智利(OR=0.20)。在考虑相关因素后,计划离开智利与抑郁症状减少显著相关。生活在智利的海地移民中抑郁症状的患病率很高。计划离开智利是预防抑郁症状的重要因素。未来的研究应该探讨不确定性的细微体验如何在移民的生活、心理健康和未来规划中发挥作用。
