This study was designed to examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of migrants living in Norway. We conducted a longitudinal two-waves survey among a sample of 574 migrants and multilevel modelling was used to analyse anxiety, health anxiety and depressive symptoms. Demographic and psychological predictors were investigated. The levels of anxiety, health anxiety and depressive symptoms among migrants decreased from the lockdown (strict social distancing protocols) to phaseout. Reductions in maladaptive coping strategies were related to parallel reductions in anxiety, health anxiety, and depression, and a reduction in loneliness was related to a reduction in depression. The results indicate that the elevated levels of anxiety, health anxiety and depressive symptoms among migrants in the first phase of the pandemic may be temporary.
本研究旨在探讨新冠疫情对居住在挪威的移民心理健康的影响。我们对574名移民样本进行了两波纵向调查,并使用多水平模型分析焦虑、健康焦虑和抑郁症状。对人口统计学和心理预测因素进行了调查。从封锁期(严格的社交距离协议)到逐步解除限制期间,移民的焦虑、健康焦虑和抑郁症状水平有所下降。适应不良应对策略的减少与焦虑、健康焦虑和抑郁的平行减少有关,孤独感的减少与抑郁的减少有关。结果表明,疫情第一阶段移民中焦虑、健康焦虑和抑郁症状水平的升高可能是暂时的。
