The current systematic review aimed to examine the relationship between acculturative stress (AS) and psychological outcomes in international students to determine the role AS may play in predicting the mental health of international students.
The studies included in the current systematic review and meta-analysis had considered AS and its impact on psychological outcomes among international students studying abroad. After checking the studies found in our primary search through the scientific databases in terms of our eligibility criteria, 29 studies were included, of which 26 were eligible for a meta-analysis (total = 7,247).
Meta-analysis indicated a moderate mean correlation of AS with psychological outcomes like depression, life satisfaction, quality of life, vocational outcome expectations, drinking behaviors, resilience, health promotion behavior, psychological adjustment, psychological distress, negative affect, and mental health symptoms ( = 0.39) and depression ( = 0.41), respectively.
The review of studies revealed a robust relationship between AS and increased negative psychological outcomes such as depression, psychological distress, and general stress, as well as decreased positive psychological outcomes such as psychological adjustment, mental health, life satisfaction, and quality of life.
当前的系统评价旨在研究文化适应压力（AS）与国际学生心理结果之间的关系，以确定AS在预测国际学生心理健康方面可能发挥的作用。
纳入当前系统评价和荟萃分析的研究考虑了AS及其对海外留学国际学生心理结果的影响。根据纳入标准对通过科学数据库在初步检索中找到的研究进行筛选后，纳入了29项研究，其中26项符合荟萃分析的条件（共7247人）。
荟萃分析表明，AS与抑郁、生活满意度、生活质量、职业结果期望、饮酒行为、心理韧性、健康促进行为、心理调适、心理困扰、消极情绪和心理健康症状等心理结果之间的平均相关性为中等程度（分别为r = 0.39），与抑郁之间的平均相关性为r = 0.41。
对研究的综述揭示了AS与抑郁、心理困扰和一般压力等负面心理结果增加以及心理调适、心理健康、生活满意度和生活质量等正面心理结果降低之间存在密切关系。
