Abstract

This study explores how traditional masculine norms affect mental health help-seeking attitudes in men residing in regional, rural, and remote Australia. Participants ( N = 271) were men living outside of major cities of Australia. Analyses of survey data found increasing endorsement of masculine norms was predictive of more negative attitudes toward help-seeking. Perceived barriers to help seeking partially mediated relationships between masculine norms and help seeking. Full mediation was present for gender role conflict through perceived barriers and help seeking. These findings suggest efforts to improve mental health of men from non-urban communities may consider the way health messages could be targeted to optimise help seeking. Increasing engagement with stakeholders, such as clinicians, community groups, government agencies, and mental health organisations is warranted when engaging men living in non-urban areas.
澳大利亚非城市地区男性男子气概与求助的关系
本研究探讨传统男性规范如何影响居住在澳大利亚地区、农村和偏远地区的男性的心理健康求助态度。参与者(N = 271)是居住在澳大利亚主要城市以外的男性。对调查数据的分析发现,越来越多的男性规范的支持预示着对寻求帮助的更消极的态度。寻求帮助的感知障碍部分介导了男性规范与寻求帮助之间的关系。通过感知障碍和寻求帮助,性别角色冲突得到充分调解。这些发现表明,改善非城市社区男性心理健康的努力可能会考虑有针对性的健康信息,以优化寻求帮助的方式。在吸引居住在非城市地区的男性时,有必要增加与临床医生、社区团体、政府机构和精神卫生组织等利益攸关方的接触。
