    Author: Im EO, Ko Y, Lee Y, Chee E, Chee W.
    Journal: West J Nurs Res; 2020 Apr; 42(4):269-277. PubMed ID: 31267827.
    Abstract:
    Many studies have been conducted to investigate the effect of cultural influences on menopausal symptoms; however, associations between immigration transition and cognitive symptoms have rarely been uncovered. This secondary analysis aimed to determine these associations among 1,054 midlife women in the United States using the data from two national Internet surveys. The surveys included multiple questions on immigration transition, health and menopausal status, and the Cognitive Symptom Index for Midlife Women. The data analysis was performed using descriptive and inferential statistics including hierarchical multiple regression analyses. Nonimmigrants had larger numbers and higher severity scores of total cognitive symptoms than immigrants (p < .001). Immigration status explained 1.28% of the total variances in the total numbers and 1.46% of the total variances in the total severity scores of total cognitive symptoms (p < .001). The study supported significant associations between immigration transition and cognitive symptoms of women at midlife.
