Abstract |
Background |
The purpose of the present study was to examine the protective and risk factors of mental distress among Turkish women living in Germany.
Method |
105 Turkish immigrant women living in Berlin were investigated with measures of extraversion/neuroticism (NEO-FFI), general self-efficacy (GSE), social support (BSSS), social strain (F-SOZU) and mental distress (GHQ-28). Interrelations between psychosocial variables were assessed using simple Pearson correlations.
Results |
In all subjects, social strain (Pearson’s r=.26**, p=.008) and neuroticism (r=.34**, p<.001) were positively associated with mental distress. In contrast, perceived self-efficacy (r=−.38**, p<.001) and extraversion (r=−.36**, p<.001) were negatively associated with mental distress.
Conclusion |
Protective factors such as extraversion and self-efficacy seem to have a buffering effect on the process of migration. However, in addition to neuroticism, social strain seems to be positively associated with mental distress.
