INTRODUCTION
Many Asian immigrants, including Filipino Americans (FilAms), experience psychological distress (PD) due to the challenges in adjusting to their new country and culture. This descriptive comparative study aimed to compare FilAms and Filipinos concerning their levels of PD, sources of stress, and use of health-promotion strategies.
METHODS
Data from 89 FilAms and 95 Filipinos living in urban cities, obtained from the I-HELP-FILIPINOS database, measuring cardiometabolic risks, mental health, and environmental stressors in 2017, including PD, were examined.
RESULTS
The mean age of all participants ( = 184) was 44.2 ± 22.8 years old. Both groups rated their health as good to excellent, although Filipinos were significantly more likely to be distressed ( < .001). Filipinos were also more likely to ascribe stress to employment (48.3% vs. 68.2%, =.006) and finances (28.1% vs. 52.6%, <.001) than FilAms.
DISCUSSION
While both groups shared comparative perspectives on health, FilAms reported lower PD than Filipinos. The most significant source of stress was the country of residence. We recommend tailoring interventions to each local context's unique social and environmental circumstances.
简介
许多亚洲移民，包括菲律宾裔美国人（FilAms），由于适应新国家和文化的挑战而经历心理困扰（PD）。本描述性比较研究旨在比较 FilAms 和菲律宾人在 PD 水平、压力源和健康促进策略使用方面的差异。
方法
2017 年，从 I-HELP-FILIPINOS 数据库中获取了 89 名居住在城市的 FilAms 和 95 名菲律宾人的数据，该数据库测量了心血管代谢风险、心理健康和环境压力源，包括 PD。
结果
所有参与者（n=184）的平均年龄为 44.2±22.8 岁。虽然两组人都认为自己的健康状况良好到优秀，但菲律宾人更有可能感到困扰（<0.001）。与 FilAms 相比，菲律宾人更倾向于将压力归因于工作（48.3%比 68.2%，=0.006）和财务（28.1%比 52.6%，<0.001）。
讨论
虽然两组人对健康都有类似的看法，但 FilAms 的 PD 报告低于菲律宾人。压力的最大来源是居住的国家。我们建议根据每个当地环境的独特社会和环境情况来定制干预措施。
