Abstract

This paper offers an intersectional perspective to enable inclusivity when addressing global mental health challenges, whilst also tackling social exclusion and vulnerability. Examples are given from purposefully selected countries to demonstrate the effectiveness of exploring issues through an intersectional approach. The authors conclude that a 'one size fits all' approach, when working towards universal mental health, is not the best approach and cannot provide a solution for all. They suggest the WHO, UN, governments and mental health agencies need to view global mental health differently to achieve alternative and better targeted solutions.

走向现实：交叉性如何挑战全球心理健康的“一刀切”方法。

本文提供了一个交叉的视角，在应对全球心理健康挑战的同时，也解决了社会排斥和脆弱性问题。有目的地选择了一些国家作为例子，以证明通过交叉方法探讨问题的有效性。作者得出的结论是，在致力于普及精神卫生时，“一刀切”的方法并不是最好的方法，也不能为所有人提供解决方案。他们建议，世卫组织、联合国、各国政府和精神卫生机构需要以不同的方式看待全球精神卫生，以实现替代性和更有针对性的解决方案。

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.
