Abstract

ABSTRACT Although undocumented students face numerous stressors that can lead to mental health strain, they often underutilize their campus mental health services. To identify the barriers and motivations for talking to a campus mental health professional (MHP) and to extend the Health Belief Model (HBM), we conducted semi-structured interviews with 24 Latina/o/x undocumented college students. Family communication revealed views that undermined talking to an MHP, but that were deeply rooted in culture and immigration; having to prioritize basic needs; and growing up in an environment where mental health services were unavailable. Our findings reveal important communication, cultural, and structural elements that should be emphasized in the HBM when explicating Latina/o/x undocumented students' beliefs and behaviors about talking to an MHP.

拉丁裔/非裔/非裔大学生与校园心理健康专业人员交谈的感知障碍和动机:对沟通、文化和结构障碍的关注

尽管无证学生面临着许多可能导致心理健康紧张的压力源，但他们往往没有充分利用校园心理健康服务。为了确定与校园心理健康专业人员(MHP)交谈的障碍和动机，并扩展健康信念模型(HBM)，我们对24名拉丁裔/o/x无证大学生进行了半结构化访谈。家庭交流揭示了一些不利于与民族主义候选人交谈的观点，但这些观点深深植根于文化和移民;必须优先考虑基本需求;在一个没有心理健康服务的环境中长大。我们的研究结果揭示了在解释拉丁裔/非拉丁裔/非拉丁裔学生与MHP交谈的信念和行为时，HBM应该强调的重要的沟通、文化和结构因素。
