Abstract

This study attempted to identify the barriers to the utilization of mental health services among the Arab society in Israel, as perceived by professionals working with this population. Twenty-seven therapists from community mental health services participated in structured in-depth interviews with at least 5 years of experience. Five main types of barriers to the utilization of mental health services were discovered: barriers related to attitudes and perceptions regarding mental disorders and their treatment, low literacy in the field of mental health, exposure and stigma, family characteristics and cultural values, and instrumental barriers. Flexibility and sensitivity to the socio-cultural context of the target population while allocating resources to create equality in access to mental health care may increase the utilization of mental health services in a traditional society such as the Arab society in Israel.

以色列阿拉伯社会利用心理健康服务的障碍:服务提供者的观点
本研究试图找出为以色列阿拉伯社会服务的专业人员在利用心理健康服务方面遇到的障碍。来自社区心理健康服务机构的 27 名至少有 5 年工作经验的治疗师参加了结构化深入访谈。访谈中发现了利用心理健康服务的五大类障碍:与对精神障碍及其治疗的态度和看法有关的障 碍、心理健康领域的低文化水平、暴露和耻辱感、家庭特征和文化价值观以及工具性障碍。对目标人群的社会文化背景保持灵活性和敏感性,同时分配资源以创造平等获得精神 健康护理的机会,这可能会提高传统社会(如以色列的阿拉伯社会)对精神健康服务的利 用率。
