Many face emotional difficulties posed by acculturation challenges when settling in a new country. As the Horn of Africa population grows in Australia, there is a need to know how to best promote the wellbeing and mental health of Horn of Africa refugees. This paper examines Horn of Africa Muslim men’s (HAMM) understanding, experiences and views on the causes of emotional difficulties, barriers to seeking help, access to mainstream mental health services and traditional African treatments in the Australian context. Five focus-group interviews of HAMM from the inner-northern suburbs of Melbourne were conducted and ethnographic, qualitative and thematic analysis was used. Emotional difficulties of HAMM in the Australian context were attributed to immigration and settlement-linked stressors such as unemployment, racism, gender role reversal and raising children. Barriers for not seeking help included lack of mental health literacy and negative perceptions of mainstream services. Existing treatments included social and religious practices, with some differences between young and older men. Cultural treatment strategies to assist with people affected with emotional difficulties were more commonly utilized compared to Australian mainstream services.","PeriodicalId":38926,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Culture and Mental Health","volume":"70 1","pages":"376 - 388"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84103200","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Six participants (four female and two male) were recruited with each taking part in a semi-structured interview. Length of time working as an interpreter in the UK National Health Service (NHS) ranged from six months to 10 years. Interviews were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (Smith, J. A. (2004). Reflecting on the Development of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis and its Contribution to Qualitative Research in Psychology. Qualitative Research in Psychology, 1, 39–54. doi:10.1191/1478088704qp004oa.). Three themes emerged from the analysis of the participants’ interview transcripts. These were: (1) ‘Just a linguist?’ – highlighting the confusion and complexity of the interpreting role; (2) ‘Unspoken alliances’ – describing the interpreters’ experiences of the triadic relationship; (3) ‘Communicating emotional reactions’ – noting the emotional impact of mental health work on interpreters. The findings of the current research emphasise that it is important for clinicians, mental health and interpreting services to take into account the emotional impact and disempowerment caused by structural systemic factors which limit the voice of the interpreter.","PeriodicalId":38926,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Culture and Mental Health","volume":"82 1","pages":"338 - 346"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91116403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study was conducted to investigate the mediating effect of Maslow's hierarchy of needs on the relationship of self-efficacy and money attitudes with mental health. This study was a survey with a correlational research design. A total of 296 participants were randomly selected through cluster sampling. The sample was administered the research instruments and the data were analyzed through correlation tests and structural equation modeling. The results revealed that self-efficacy and money attitudes were related to mental health through needs satisfaction. The individuals with higher self-efficacy and lower worry about money were found to be able to properly satisfy their needs. It was concluded that if the individuals’ needs are satisfied in a suitable time and place, their mental health will improve.","PeriodicalId":38926,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Culture and Mental Health","volume":"37 1","pages":"310 - 319"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83854231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the overwhelming nature of a traumatic event, there might be a rapid regression of affect to a pre-conceptual level of organization: so, the capacity to tolerate affect and the capacity to identify and verbalize feelings decrease. The aim of this cross-sectional study is to evaluate the trend of the correlation between psychological effects of possible childhood trauma and alexithymia in a non-clinical group of 389 Sicilian students (192 males and 197 females), aged 11–16 (M = 12.87; SD = 0.80), attending middle and secondary schools. The following instruments were used: 20-Item Toronto Alexithymia Scale and Trauma Symptom Checklist for Children. Correlation analyses seem to support the hypothesis of a relation between age and the following scales: anger, overt dissociation, sexual concerns and preoccupation; and the presence of correlations between gender and anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, and fantasy. The multiple linear regression seems to indicate that a higher level of post-traumatic stress might be a predictor of the level of alexithymia. The results confirm that alexithymia is a well-established personality construct that could inhibit and interfere with normal affect regulating abilities.","PeriodicalId":38926,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Culture and Mental Health","volume":"126 1","pages":"300 - 309"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75005787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mutism can be one component of a catatonic syndrome but it can also occur, as reviewed in this paper, as a symptom in non-catatonic schizophrenic illness. Reviewing mutism in non-catatonic schizophrenia in the Google Scholar database (1995–2015), a large majority of reports originate in the Indian subcontinent, which raises the question of what this symptom might mean from a perspective of culture, ethnicity and religion. Silence is valued in many cultures and is an integral part of many religious rites but appears to have special spiritual value in India, which may explain the prevalence in that country of long-term mutism in the context of schizophrenia. Mutism manifesting in other diagnostic categories may also be prevalent in India, but perhaps less likely to come to psychiatric attention. A case history of prolonged non-catatonic mutism in an Orthodox Jewish woman with schizophrenia is included, an exception that perhaps proves the rule because silence is also of great spiritual significance in Orthodox Judaism. The psychological uses of silence and the value one’s culture places on silence appear to determine the symptom of mutism.","PeriodicalId":38926,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Culture and Mental Health","volume":"79 1","pages":"121 - 126"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78219719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study is the first to investigate the prevalence, characteristics and risk factors of NSSI in a sample of university students in Tehran, Iran. All participants (n = 554, mean age = 22.65, 57.2% female) were asked to self-report on NSSI over their lifetime. The Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale, Depression Anxiety Stress Scales, and Suicidal Behaviors Questionnaire-Revised were employed. A lifetime NSSI prevalence of 12.3% (n = 68) was found with no gender differences. Using logistic regression, lack of emotional awareness remained negatively significant for females after controling for anxiety, depression and suicidality; however, after controlling for the psychological symptoms, no relations were found between emotion dysregulation and a history of lifetime NSSI for male students. In a separate logistic regression, lifetime NSSI predicted suicide attempt above and beyond depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation across gender. Our results on the relations between emotion dysregulation and lifetime NSSI contradict the ample research in the West, emphasizing emotion dysregulation as a risk factor of NSSI and suggest that this relation might vary across cultures. The results are situated within the sociocultural context and compared and contrasted with Western data.","PeriodicalId":38926,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Culture and Mental Health","volume":"8 1","pages":"136 - 149"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75747477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
