摘要
每年都有数百万美国人得不到所需的心理健康(MH)服务。尽管太平洋岛民(PI)对心理健康服务的需求很高,但这一群体寻求心理健康护理帮助的比例却最低。这一点尤其令人担忧,因为太平洋岛民社区的自杀率一直在上升。本研究探讨了太平洋岛民如何看待心理健康支持,包括他们对接受心理健康服务的态度和对障碍的看法。对居住在西部一个州的跨代太平洋岛民进行了解释现象学分析焦点小组研究。研究结果包括:(a) 太平洋岛民认为寻求心理健康帮助会导致家庭负担、耻辱感和羞耻感;(b) 太平洋岛民协商与心理健康帮助、护理和支持相关的社会习俗和信仰;(c) 太平洋岛民对机构资源的不信任。这些主题似乎相互影响,造成了阻碍求助行为的长期障碍。本研究将提供临床和研究方面的启示。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA,保留所有权利)。
Perceptions and barriers about mental health services among Pacific Islanders: An interpretative phenomenological analysis.
Every year, millions of Americans do not receive needed mental health (MH) services. Although Pacific Islanders (PI) have a high need for MH services, this group has the lowest rate of MH care help seeking. This is especially concerning as the rate of suicide has been increasing within the PI community. This study explored how Pacific Islanders think about MH supports, including their attitudes toward and perceptions of barriers to receiving MH services. An interpretative phenomenological analysis focus group study was conducted with cross-generational Pacific Islanders residing in one western state. The findings include (a) PI perceptions that MH help seeking results in family burdensomeness, stigma, and shame; (b) negotiating PI social customs and beliefs related to MH help seeking, care, and support; and (c) PI mistrust of institutional resources. These themes seemed to interact with each other and create perpetuate barriers which prevent help-seeking behaviors. Clinical and research implications will be provided.
