Entre los efectos del desempleo en la salud mental, destacan problemas de confianza, depresión y pérdida de recursos psicosociales. El objetivo es investigar las variables atenuantes del estrés sobre la salud mental en desempleados jóvenes angoleños mediante un modelo estructural con variables latentes. Se probaron los efectos del apoyo social, la resiliencia y las estrategias de afrontamiento sobre la salud mental, controlando por los efectos de ser económicamente suficiente. Para poner a prueba este modelo se ha contado con una muestra de 283 angoleños con edades comprendidas entre 18 y 30 años. El modelo se estimó en EQS 5.7. Los resultados indican un ajuste adecuado del modelo. Estos resultados apuntan a que apoyo social, resiliencia y estrategias de afrontamiento tienen un efecto atenuante sobre las consecuencias negativas del desempleo en la salud mental. Entre las implicaciones derivadas de este estudio destaca la necesidad de potenciar el apoyo de los padres, así como la necesidad de las instituciones sociales de encontrar modos de promover la búsqueda activa de empleo. Se discuten también los resultados obtenidos a la luz de la evidencia anterior y se sugieren las limitaciones derivadas del carácter transversal y de la muestra incidental del estudio.
