目标:植根于跨领土框架,本研究旨在提供有关飓风后移居美国的玛丽亚飓风幸存者之间交流方式的新证据.
方法:在2020年8月至2021年10月期间,共有319名18岁及以上的玛丽亚飓风幸存者被招募到AdelanteBoricua研究中。大多数参与者在2017年至2018年之间搬到了美国。我们使用潜在的轮廓分析和多项回归来检查基于技术的沟通与抑郁症状的关系,幸福,文化联系,和迁移压力。
结果:我们确定了五类解决方案,由(1)适度沟通(32%)组成,(2)脱离(24%),(3)没有社交媒体(18%),(4)每天与波多黎各的家人在一起(6%),和(5)每日跨地域(13%)类型。脱离课堂的参与者更有可能报告抑郁症状升高和英语水平有限,较低的亲社会行为,较低的宗教信仰,美国宗教仪式的出勤率较低,较少参与社交活动,与适度交流课程的参与者相比。
结论:在我们的样本中,大约四分之一的人报告说,他们与发送和新接收社区中的朋友/家人的基于技术的交流非常有限。随着技术和智能手机不断融入21世纪的生活,至关重要的是,研究人员要探索连通性的巨大潜力如何与跨领土危机移民的福祉和适应有关。
OBJECTIVE: Rooted in a trans-territorial framework, the present study was designed to provide new evidence regarding the patterns of communication among Hurricane Maria survivors who migrated to the U.S. in the aftermath of the storm.
METHODS: A total of 319 Hurricane Maria survivor adults ages 18 and older were recruited into the Adelante Boricua study between August 2020 and October 2021. Most participants had relocated to the U.S. between 2017 and 2018. We used latent profile analysis and multinomial regression to examine the relationship of technology-based communication with depressive symptoms, well-being, cultural connection, and migration stress.
RESULTS: We identified a five-class solution, consisting of (1) moderate communication (32%), (2) disengaged (24%), (3) no social media (18%), (4) daily with family in Puerto Rico (6%), and (5) daily trans-territorial (13%) typologies. Participants in the disengaged class were more likely to report elevated depressive symptoms and limited English proficiency, lower prosocial behaviors, lower levels of religiosity, lower attendance at religious services in the U.S., and less engagement in social activities, compared to participants in the Moderate Communication class.
CONCLUSIONS: Roughly one in four individuals in our sample reported very limited technology-based communication with friends/family in their sending and new-receiving communities. As technology and smartphones continue to become integrated into 21st-century life, it is vital that researchers explore how the tremendous potential for connectedness relates to trans-territorial crisis migrants\' well-being and adaptation.
