■该研究的具体目标是检查塔利班后第一代政府的心理健康(抑郁和焦虑),并将这些措施与前一代人进行比较,并评估第一代后塔利班政府的战争经验。我们还想评估日常压力源及其对心理健康的贡献,并评估由于战争经历和日常压力因素而导致的心理健康,例如性别,婚姻状况,年龄,母亲的年龄,出生顺序,和种族。
■在横截面设计中,621名高中生,被随机选择参加研究以评估战争经验,日常压力源,以及后塔利班政府领导下的第一代年轻人的心理健康。
■参与者的平均年龄为17.37±0.9岁,94.8%的人未婚。不良的心理健康与更多的战争暴露显著相关,但与参与者的年龄无关(P=0.08)。战争经历与参与者的年龄和种族之间没有关联(p=0.9,p=0.7)。每日压力源的年龄差异也可以忽略不计(P=0.07)。女生的每日压力源得分高于男生(P=0.02)。大多数接受调查的年轻人,声明自己同意阿富汗安全局势等声明,这让我感到沮丧(56%),空气污染令人担忧(41%),没有人谈论他们的内心(28.8%)。性别差异对心理健康非常显著,根据霍普金斯症状清单(HSCL)-抑郁和HSCL-焦虑的评估。女孩患抑郁症的比率更高,焦虑,和日常压力比男孩,男孩的战争经历率高于女孩。
■战争经历,日常压力源,心理健康与年龄无关,种族和婚姻状况。作为家庭的第一个孩子,更高的战争经验报告,和日常压力都对心理健康产生负面影响。除了战争及其直接影响,必须将现有的社会文化背景视为调解阿富汗女孩心理健康的潜在因素。
UNASSIGNED: The specific objectives of the study are to examine the mental health (depression and anxiety) of the first generation of post-Taliban government and compare these measures with its preceding generation, and to assess war experience of the first generation of post-Taliban government. We also wanted to assess the daily stressors and their contribution to the mental health, and to assess mental health as a result of war experiences and daily stressors with respect to demographic measures such as sex, marital status, age, mother\'s age, birth order, and ethnicities.
UNASSIGNED: In a cross-sectional design, 621 high school students, were randomly selected to participate in the study to assess war experience, daily stressors, and mental health among the first generation of young adults under post-Taliban government.
UNASSIGNED: The participants had 17.37 ± 0.9 mean years of ages, 94.8% of them were unmarried. Poor mental health was significantly associated with higher exposure to war, but not with the age of participants (P = 0.08). There was no association between war experiences and the age and ethnicity of our participants (p = 0.9, p = 0.7). Age differences were negligible for daily stressors too (P = 0.07). Daily stressors scores were higher for female than male students (P = 0.02). The majority of young adults surveyed, declared themselves in agreement with statements such as the security situation in Afghanistan makes me frustrated (56%), air pollution as a concern (41%), and not having anyone to talk about what is in their heart (28.8%). Gender differences were highly significant for mental health, as appraised by both The Hopkins Symptoms Checklist (HSCL) -depression and HSCL-anxiety. Girls presented higher rates of depression, anxiety, and daily stressors than boys, and boys presented higher rates of war experiences than girls.
UNASSIGNED: War experience, daily stressors, and mental health were irrelevant with age, ethnicity and marital status. Factor such as being the first-born child of the family, higher reported war experiences, and daily stressors all negatively impact mental health. Alongside war and its direct effects, the existing socio-cultural context must be considered as a potential factor mediating the mental health of girls in Afghanistan.
