Immigrants arriving in a new country face changes that affect their social, employment, and migratory status. We carried out a mixed methods study in the rapidly growing Venezuelan immigrant population in Lima, Peru. The objective was to determine whether there was an association between time in Peru and the auto-perception of symptom distress (SD), interpersonal relationships (IR), and social role (SR). The quantitative central component consisted of a cross-sectional study, surveying 152 participants using the Outcome Questionnaire 45.2 (OQ-45.2) which measures general mental health as well as the domains of SD, IR, and SR. An association between total mental health score and gender (p=0.04) was found. Age group and SD were also associated (p=0.009), as were IR with age (p=0.011) and with civil status (p=0.044). Multivariate analysis showed that each additional year of age increased the risk of having clinically significant RS score by 3% (PR, 95% CI, p=0.033) when adjusted for time in Peru. The qualitative component, based on grounded theory, consisted of 16 in-depth interviews. All informants mentioned having witnessed or experienced xenophobia in Peru. Every informant stated that significant labor differences existed between the countries. A predominantly female majority of informants also felt that the relationship with their boss was conflictive. The most reported somatic symptoms were symptoms of anxiety and alterations of sleep. Additionally, no informant expressed a desire to remain in Peru long term. This study is one of the first to use mixed methods to explore the mental health of the immigrant Venezuelan population.
