Abstract

The purpose of this study was to understand how masculinity and race impact mental health among Black male graduate students. A qualitative study using in-depth interviews recruited Black male graduate students enrolled at a private university in the southern United States. Data were collected over zoom and recorded. Interviews were transcribed and the data were analyzed for similar themes. Twenty-nine Black male graduate students 23 to 51 were recruited. Participants reported the three main elements that impacted their mental health were (1) expectations, (2) pressure, and (3) being strong. These findings suggest that colleges need to develop programming to help Black men learn how to handle racial discrimination in positive ways. Additionally, findings also highlight the need for culturally relevant mental health services that let Black men know seeking help is ok and is what men do.

心理健康与黑人男生研究生。

本研究旨在了解男性气质和种族如何影响黑人男性研究生的心理健康。这项定性研究采用深入访谈的方式，招募了美国南部一所私立大学的黑人男性研究生。数据是通过缩放和录音收集的。对访谈内容进行了转录，并对数据进行了相似主题分析。共招募了 29 名 23 至 51 岁的黑人男性研究生。参与者报告说，影响他们心理健康的三个主要因素是：(1) 期望；(2) 压力；(3) 坚强。这些研究结果表明，高校需要制定相关计划，帮助黑人男性学习如何以积极的方式应对种族歧视。此外，研究结果还强调，需要提供与文化相关的心理健康服务，让黑人男性知道寻求帮助是可以的，也是男性应该做的。

期刊介绍： Social Work in Public Health (recently re-titled from the Journal of Health & Social Policy to better reflect its focus) provides a much-needed forum for social workers and those in health and health-related professions. This crucial journal focuses on all aspects of policy and social and health care considerations in policy-related matters, including its development, formulation, implementation, evaluation, review, and revision. By blending conceptual and practical considerations, Social Work in Public Health enables authors from many disciplines to examine health and social policy issues, concerns, and questions.
