| Annotation | The profiles of a sample of 147 Chinese immigrant older people in the US were examined according to their living arrangements and the roles played by stress and coping resources in explaining their depressive symptoms. Older Chinese Americans who lived alone, had higher levels of education, reported poorer health, experienced more stressful life events, and were dissatisfied with help received from family members were more likely to be depressed. The impact of these factors on the quality of life of older Chinese immigrants can be understood within the Chinese cultural context. Consideration of these various factors is essential to the design of culturally appropriate mental health interventions with this population group. (RH). |
