Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between acculturation and depression among Asian American immigrants in Los Angeles, California. A sample of 30 respondents was obtained from employees at a mental health agency. All respondents volunteered to participate in the study. The participants completed a self-administered questionnaire, which includes demographic questions, and surveys that measure acculturation and depression level. A quantitative design was used. Results indicated that there was no significant relationship between acculturation and depression level. The findings further indicated that there was no significant difference between acculturation and depression by gender. There was also no correlation between acculturation and depression and age, education, and income. Implications for future research and social work practice were addressed.

This book was released on 2009-01-21 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asian Americans are the fastest growing minority group in the United States. When Asian immigrants arrive in the United States, they regularly encounter a vast number of difficulties integrating themselves into their new culture. In Handbook of Mental Health and Acculturation in Asian American Families, distinguished researchers and clinicians discuss the process of acculturation for individuals and their families, addressing the mental health needs of Asian Americans and thoroughly examining the acculturative process, its common stressors, and characteristics associated with resiliency. This first-of-its-kind, multi-dimensional title synthesizes current acculturation research, while presenting those concepts within a clinical framework. In addition to providing an in-depth look at both past and present research and offering directions for future topics to explore, the book also offers a range of practical tools such as research scales to measure levels of acculturation, interview techniques, and clinical approaches for special populations including children, the elderly, and their families. Thought-provoking and informative, Handbook of Mental Health and Acculturation in Asian American Families will enhance the understanding of the clinical and sociocultural problems Asian Americans face, providing clinicians with all the necessary insights to better care for their patients.
Download or read book Acculturation and Suicidal Risk Among Asians and Latinos in California written by Margaret Lee and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary empirical studies tend to support the assertion that acculturation is an important correlate of mental health among immigrants. Foreign-born Asians and Latinos have significant mental health advantages, such as lower rates of depression and anxiety, compared to their U.S.-born counterparts. This phenomenon has been referred to as the "immigrant paradox," where foreign nativity serves as a protective factor against psychiatric disorders, despite the stresses often associated with immigrating and settling into a new country. However, relatively few empirical studies have examined suicidal behavior among Asians and Latinos as it relates to acculturation, and results have been mixed. Given that suicidal ideation and suicide attempts are strongly associated with suicide death, better understanding the relationship between acculturation and suicidal behavior can offer some insight into the demographic patterns of suicide. Using Joiner's interpersonal theory of suicide, this study utilized pooled data from the 2011-2014 California Health Interview Surveys, a population-based, random-digit dial telephone survey representative of California's households. The analysis, based on interviews with 17,502 Latinos and 7,738 Asian adults over the age of 18, investigated variations in suicidal proclivity among Asian and Latino adults as predicted by three acculturation measures, proportion of life spent in the U.S., English fluency, and generational status, after adjusting for sociodemographic and psychiatric variables. Analysis of weighted lifetime prevalence of suicidal behaviors revealed significant differences in sociodemographic characteristics and acculturation patterns at both the racial and ethnic subgroup level. Multivariate logistic regression analyses also revealed significant heterogeneity between and among racial groups with respect to acculturation. Risk for suicidal behaviors increased with acculturation for both Asians and Latinos, but was not shown to be significant for Koreans or South Americans. The findings of this study underscore the need to disaggregate racial data when making inferences about suicidal behavior. Clinical interventions and public health efforts should be focused at the ethnic subgroup level and should consider the impact of culture and acculturation on mental health outcomes.

Download or read book The Impact of Acculturation Socioeconomic Status Depression and Insurance Coverage on the Delays on Receiving Mental Health Services Among Asian Americans written by Alfred John A. Mendiola and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to understand the impact of acculturation, socioeconomic status, depression, and insurance coverage on the delays in receiving mental health services among Asian Americans sixty years old and older. The data for the study was collected from 913 elderly Asian Americans who had responded to the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS), in 2005. The independent variables were acculturation, socioeconomic status, depression, and insurance coverage for mental health services. The dependent variable was the delays on receiving mental health services. The results of the regression analysis determined that acculturation, socioeconomic status, and depression did not delay Asian Americans from utilizing mental health services. Although, there was a significant relationship between having insurance coverage and delays in receiving mental health services, Asian Americans who had insurance, also had access to seeking and receiving mental health treatment. To get a more comprehensive understanding of mental health issues in the Asian American community, more research would have to examine the impact of stigma and the cultural norms that prevent Asian Americans from seeking treatment.

Book excerpt: In America's increasingly diverse society, it is imperative that mental health providers prioritize the development of their cultural competence to assure that they are equipped to meet the needs of their clients. Cultural Considerations in Asian and Pacific Islander American Mental Health offers a broad array of perspectives from clinicians and researchers actively working with racially/ethnically diverse populations. This book addresses psychosocial cultural issues that impact the mental health of the growing Asian American population. The book opens with the concept of what and who is an Asian American, as well as the myriad distinctions and differences among various Asian groups. Covered chapter topics include a historical overview of the diverse populations among Asian and Pacific Islander Americans; a discussion of the tensions and similarities between empirically supported treatments and cultural competence; Asian and Pacific Islander American elders and depression; and a psychodynamic perspective regarding the treatment of dual diagnosis with an Asian American client. This book is a must-read for mental health clinicians, students, community workers, school counselors, and nurses who work with diverse populations.
