摘要

目的:本研究的总体目标是探讨农村社区与城市社区的心理健康意识和耻辱感。研究方法:本研究采用了桌面研究方法。案头研究指的是二手数据或无需实地考察即可收集到的数据。案头研究基本上是从现有资源中收集数据,因此,与实地调查相比,案头研究通常被认为是一种低成本技术,因为主要成本涉及执行人员的时间、电话费和目录。因此,本研究依赖于已出版的研究、报告和统计数据。这些二手数据可通过在线期刊和图书馆轻松获取。研究结果:研究结果表明,农村社区与城市社区在心理健康意识和耻辱感方面存在背景和方法上的差距。初步实证审查发现,这些地区在心理健康认知和获得护理方面存在显著差异。在农村社区,成见根深蒂固,导致人们不愿寻求帮助,而有限的服务渠道又加剧了这种情况。城市居民虽然有更多机会获得心理健康资源,对心理健康的认识也更高,但却面临着不同的压力,如社会隔离和污染,导致心理健康失调率居高不下。该研究建议采取有针对性的干预措施,如针对农村地区的远程医疗和解决城市环境因素,以有效消除耻辱感并改善心理健康结果:社会认知理论、标签理论和计划行为理论可用于今后对农村与城市社区的心理健康意识和污名化问题的研究。该研究强调了完善理论模型以考虑地理和文化变量的必要性。它强调了针对农村和城市环境的独特挑战调整心理健康干预措施的重要性,并提出了一些实用的解决方案,如远程保健和基于社区的支持小组。研究敦促政策制定者优先考虑提供资金和开展公共教育活动,以减少污名化并改善服务的可及性。研究建议将这些发现纳入现有的理论框架,并呼吁今后开展纵向和比较研究,进一步探讨社区类型与心理健康耻辱感之间的关系。

Mental Health Awareness and Stigma in Rural vs. Urban Communities
Purpose: The general objective of the study was to explore mental health awareness and stigma in rural vs. urban communities. Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library. Findings: The findings reveal that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to mental health awareness and stigma in rural vs. urban communities. Preliminary empirical review found significant differences in mental health perceptions and access to care between these areas. In rural communities, stigma was deeply ingrained, leading to reluctance in seeking help, exacerbated by limited access to services. Urban residents, while having better access to mental health resources and higher awareness, faced different stressors such as social isolation and pollution, contributing to high rates of mental health disorders. The study recommended tailored interventions, such as telehealth for rural areas and addressing environmental factors in urban settings, to effectively combat stigma and improve mental health outcomes. that Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Social Cognitive Theory, Labeling Theory and Theory of Planned Behaviour may be used to anchor future studies on mental health awareness and stigma in rural vs. urban communities. The study highlighted the need to refine theoretical models to account for geographical and cultural variables. It emphasized the importance of tailoring mental health interventions to the unique challenges of rural and urban settings, suggesting practical solutions like telehealth and community-based support groups. Policymakers were urged to prioritize funding and public education campaigns to reduce stigma and improve service accessibility. The study recommended integrating these findings into existing theoretical frameworks and called for future longitudinal and comparative research to further explore the relationship between community type and mental health stigma.
