Author(s) Radha Maddhesia
Country India
Abstract Mental health is increasingly seen as fundamental to human functioning, comprising psychological, emotional, personal and social well- being. The world is continuously becoming more globalized, which has made cross-national migration, both attractive as well as attainable. This trend has probably contributed to the increased attention given to immigrants’ mental health as it has made their often-difficult situations more visible.
Objectives: To assess the effect of nationality and duration of immigration in relation to both positive and negative measures of mental health.
Method: The data was collected on 280 immigrants (140 Indian and 140 Nepali) aged 20-60 years. To measure positive dimensions of mental health Psychological Immunogens Questionnaire (PIQ) and Life Satisfaction scale was used. DASS-42 (Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale) was utilized to assess the negative dimensions of mental health. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was computed.
Results: The findings of the ANOVA have suggested that there are differences in perceived distress between Indian and Nepali immigrants which are mostly affected by duration of migration. Further, there were also differences in their level of psychological immunogens and life satisfaction based on their nationality and duration of migration.
Conclusion: Perceived distress varied with nationality and duration. Subsist with changing environment in host society depends on personal psychological resources of immigrants’.
