Abstract

Abstract:In this literature review, we analyze existing research on climate change and its impact on mental health and well-being, primarily among Pacific Islanders. To compensate for a lack of research in this area, we also address some of the projected mental health implications resulting from disasters linked to climate change, such as flooding, hurricanes, and cyclones. This broader scope enables the identification of areas where more research into mental health concerns related to climate change in the Pacific is needed. In closing, we provide recommendations for further research into the mental health and well-being of Pacific peoples and suggest ways to develop resilience to the effects of climate change.

气候变化，心理健康和太平洋人民的福祉:文献综述

摘要：在这篇文献综述中，我们分析了现有的关于气候变化及其对心理健康和幸福感的影响的研究，主要是在太平洋岛民中。为了弥补这一领域研究的不足，我们还讨论了洪水、飓风和飓风等与气候变化有关的灾害对心理健康的一些预测影响。这一更广泛的范围使我们能够确定需要对太平洋地区与气候变化相关的心理健康问题进行更多研究的领域。最后，我们为进一步研究太平洋人民的心理健康和福祉提出了建议，并提出了培养应对气候变化影响的能力的方法。
