摘要

背景-虽然在许多国家对公众心理健康素养(MHL)进行了广泛的研究,但在斯里兰卡对MHL的研究很少。MHL很重要,因为它与寻求帮助的行为和心理健康结果密切相关。不良的精神卫生保健一直是斯里兰卡改善精神卫生保健的主要障碍。本研究的目的是描述MHL在识别心理健康问题的能力、有用干预措施的知识和专业帮助方面的可用性。社会经济变量与MHL之间的关联也被确定。方法:这项描述性横断面研究使用了一份预测问卷,对430名年龄在18-60岁之间的人进行了MHL评估。这些小插曲代表了有自杀念头的抑郁症、社交恐惧症、精神分裂症和痴呆症。结果-抑郁症小片段识别为精神健康问题的反应率为83.7% (n=297),精神分裂症小片段为80.8% (n=287),痴呆小片段为56.6% (n= 201),社交恐惧症小片段为54.4% (n= 193)。抑郁症和精神分裂症患者对专业服务识别能力的满意度为44.5% (n= 158),痴呆和社交恐惧症患者对专业服务识别能力的满意度为37.7% (n= 134)。对社交恐惧症小插曲的满意程度为43.4% (n= 154),精神分裂症小插曲为27.9% (n= 99),痴呆小插曲为21.1% (n= 75),抑郁症小插曲为20.3% (n= 72)。教育水平与识别心理健康问题的能力、识别专业服务的能力和对有益干预措施的了解之间存在统计学上显著的关联。结论-虽然大多数人能够认识到精神障碍是精神健康问题,但他们对专业服务和有益干预措施的了解相对很低。因此,与大多数西方国家相比,目标人群的MHL是不足的。考虑到斯里兰卡公众的社会经济背景,迫切需要开展心理健康教育活动,以改善公众的MHL。”

Mental health literacy: A Survey of the Public’s Ability to Recognize Mental Disorders and Their Knowledge about the Effectiveness of Helpful Interventions to Help the Victims
"Background- Although Mental health literacy (MHL) among public has been widely studied in many countries, there are few studies on MHL in Srilanka. MHL is important as it is closely related to help seeking behavior and mental health outcomes. Poor MHL has been a major barrier on improving mental health care in Sri Lanka. The objective of this study was to describe MHL in terms of ability to recognize mental health problems, knowledge of helpful interventions and professional help available. The association between socioeconomic variables and MHL was also identified. Methods- This descriptive cross-sectional study used a pretested questionnaire on 430 people aged between 18-60, where MHL was assessed using four case vignettes. The vignettes represented depression with suicidal ideation, social phobia, schizophrenia, and dementia. Results- The response rates for recognition as a mental health problem was 83.7% (n=297) for the depression vignette, 80.8% (n=287) for schizophrenia vignette, 56.6% (n= 201) for dementia vignette and 54.4% (n= 193) for social phobia vignette. Satisfactory levels for the ability to recognize professional services were 44.5% (n= 158) for both depression and schizophrenia vignettes and 37.7% (n= 134) for dementia and social phobia vignettes. Satisfactory levels in recognizing helpful interventions were 43.4% (n= 154) for social phobia vignette, 27.9% (n= 99) for schizophrenia vignette, 21.1% (n= 75) for dementia vignette and 20.3% (n= 72) for depression vignette. A statistically significant association was found among the educational level and the ability to recognize mental health problems, the ability to recognize professional services and knowledge of helpful interventions. Conclusion- Though the majority was able to recognize the mental disorders as mental health problems, their knowledge of professional services and helpful interventions were relatively very low. Therefore, the MHL of the target population is inadequate comparing to the most of western countries. There is an urgent need for mental health education initiatives to improve MHL among the public considering their socioeconomic background in Sri Lanka. "
