Abstract
The Demands of Immigration (DI) scale consists of six subscales and is designed to measure demands that negatively affect emotional health of immigrants. The purpose of this review is to (a) examine the DI scale's language versions and translation procedures; and (b) evaluate reliability and validity of the DI scale based on studies subsequent to its initial development. Published studies were identified through CINAHL Complete, MEDLINE, Social Sciences Premium Collection and PsycInfo. Seventeen quantitative studies reported the DI scale's reliability (internal consistency and test-retest) and/or validity (content and construct). Correlations among the DI subscales and key variables (e.g., job satisfaction, acculturation, depression, perceived support, and resilience) support its construct validity. The DI scale is a reliable and valid tool for measuring demands or challenges that immigrants face.
