Abstract

Background: Salik et al.'s phenomenological study documents the emotional, social and economic challenges faced by Turkish service-users of Community Mental Health Centres (CMHCs).

Objective: To contextualise those findings within Taiwan's CMHC system and highlight universal priorities for culturally responsive care.

Content: Drawing on Taiwanese qualitative studies and regional literature, the letter underscores persistent stigma, limited vocational opportunities and fragmented continuity of care. Evidence from Taiwan mirrors Turkish operational barriers, while employment research and deinstitutionalisation analyses reinforce the need for family-inclusive, vocationally oriented interventions. International data on religiosity in caregiving and psychosocial skills training illustrate transferable strategies for stigma reduction and functional recovery.

Implications: CMHCs worldwide should integrate anti-stigma campaigns, spiritual or cultural supports and structured vocational rehabilitation to enhance recovery and social inclusion.

Conclusion: Shared challenges demand globally informed yet locally adapted community mental health policies.

社区心理健康中心的跨文化反思：土耳其对台湾及其他地区的启示。

背景：Salik等人的现象学研究记录了土耳其社区精神卫生中心（CMHCs）服务使用者面临的情感、社会和经济挑战。目的：将这些发现与台湾的CMHC系统联系起来，并强调文化响应性护理的普遍优先事项。内容：根据台湾的定性研究和区域文献，这封信强调了持续的耻辱，有限的职业机会和支离破碎的护理连续性。来自台湾的证据反映了土耳其的运营障碍，而就业研究和去机构化分析则强调了对家庭包容、以职业为导向的干预措施的需求。关于护理和社会心理技能培训中的宗教信仰的国际数据说明了减少耻辱感和功能恢复的可转移战略。启示：世界各地的CMHCs应结合反污名运动、精神或文化支持和有组织的职业康复，以加强康复和社会包容。结论：共同的挑战需要全球知情和适应当地的社区精神卫生政策。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing is an international journal which publishes research and scholarly papers that advance the development of policy, practice, research and education in all aspects of mental health nursing. We publish rigorously conducted research, literature reviews, essays and debates, and consumer practitioner narratives; all of which add new knowledge and advance practice globally. All papers must have clear implications for mental health nursing either solely or part of multidisciplinary practice. Papers are welcomed which draw on single or multiple research and academic disciplines. We give space to practitioner and consumer perspectives and ensure research published in the journal can be understood by a wide audience. We encourage critical debate and exchange of ideas and therefore welcome letters to the editor and essays and debates in mental health.
