摘要

背景与身体健康和福祉相比,心理健康是最容易被忽视的领域。部落人口的健康状况非常糟糕,受到其社会文化因素和糟糕的医疗保健系统的严重影响。本研究旨在评估部落人口对常见心理健康问题的了解、态度、心理求助意向以及与研究变量相关的因素。采用心理健康知识问卷(MHKQ)、社区对精神病患者的态度量表(CAMIS)和心理求助意向量表(MHSIS)等标准化工具收集数据。大多数参与者(80%)对精神健康有相当好的了解,68%的人对精神病患者持积极态度。调查还发现,79.2% 的参与者持有好感,OR=1.40(0.50,3.90),这表明文盲持有好感的几率在统计学上存在差异(p=0.003)。在以女性为参照比较各组之间的几率时,可以看出男性 OR = 0.44(0.21,0.94)的知识水平较低。在 Koraga 人群中,对精神病人的态度和心理健康知识这两个分量表之间存在着中等程度的密切关系(P = .05 时具有统计学意义)。研究得出结论,需要开展干预性研究,以减少精神疾病的耻辱感和治疗差距。

Mental health literacy, attitude, and help seeking intention among a particularly vulnerable tribe

Background

Mental health, when compared to physical health and wellbeing, is the most neglected area. The health status of the tribal population is in pitiable condition and is heavily influenced by its socio-cultural factors and poor health care delivery system. The study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, mental help seeking intention for common mental health problems and factors associated with the study variables among the tribal population.

Method

ology: House-to-house survey was done between January to April 2022. Data was collected using standardized tools like Mental Health Knowledge Questionnaire (MHKQ), Community Attitude towards Mentally Ill scale (CAMIS), and Mental Help Seeking Intention scale (MHSIS).

Results

Only six participants out of 400 reported that they are aware of someone in their community suffering from mental health problems. The majority (80 %) of the participants had fairly good knowledge regarding mental health, and 68 % of them had a favorable attitude towards mentally ill. It was also found that 79.2 % of the participants hold favorable attitude with an OR = 1.40 (0.50,3.90) suggesting that there is a statistically difference in the odds of favorable attitude being present among illiterate people (p = 0.003). When comparing the odds ratio between the groups, keeping females as reference for comparison, it is evident that males OR = 0.44 (0.21,0.94) are less likely to have good knowledge. Moderately strong (statistically significant at p = .05) relationship was seen between the subscales of attitude towards mentally ill and knowledge regarding mental health among the Koraga population.

Conclusion

It has been found that awareness regarding common mental disorders is increasing among the tribals, but it is not accompanied by a favorable attitude. The study concluded that interventional research is needed to reduce the stigma and the treatment gap in mental illness.
