摘要

学校被认为是促进青少年心理健康和幸福的重要场所。但人们对加纳高中(SHS)的心理辅导实践知之甚少。本研究探讨了加纳首都阿克拉 11 所高中的辅导实践。我们采用方便抽样的方法选取了 15 名学校辅导员,并就他们在 SHS 中获得和利用辅导的情况进行了访谈。我们还探讨了常见的问题和服务挑战。我们对数据进行了专题分析,结果表明大多数辅导员都拥有指导与咨询方面的硕士或博士学位。根据我们的参与者,学生接受辅导是为了解决学业(学业和职业)、家庭(如父母问题和生计问题)和同伴关系方面的问题。其他学生则会因情绪(包括自杀念头和自残)、吸毒和行为问题而接受辅导。辅导员提供学业咨询、职业指导、经济和情感支持。研究结果表明,辅导员面临着一些挑战,包括角色冲突、工作负担过重、资源不足以及对辅导的负面看法。研究结果对政府、政策制定者、社会科学及人文科学部门管理人员、学校心理学家、辅导员和学生都有借鉴意义。

Practices and challenges of counselling in selected senior high schools in Accra, Ghana
Schools have been identified as important settings for promoting adolescent mental health and well-being. Little is known about counselling practices in Ghanaian senior high schools (SHSs). This study explored counselling practices in 11 SHSs in Ghana’s capital, Accra. We used convenience sampling methods to select 15 school counsellors and interviewed them about access to and utilisation of counselling in SHSs. We also explored common presenting concerns and service challenges. Data were analysed thematically and showed that most of the counsellors had a master’s or doctoral degree in guidance and counselling. According to our participants, students access counselling to address school (academic and career), home (e.g. parents’ problems and livelihood issues) and peer relations concerns. Other students access counselling for emotional (including suicidal ideations and self-harm), drug use and conduct issues. Counsellors provide academic advice, career guidance, financial and emotional support. Findings revealed that counsellors are facing several challenges including role conflict, work overload, deficient resources, as well as negative perceptions of counselling. Findings have implications for the government, policy makers, SHS administrators, school psychologists and counsellors and students.
