The role of gender norm conformity in men's psychological help-seeking and treatment engagement: a scoping review.
Background: Despite higher suicide rates, men are less likely to seek psychological help than women, and even when they do seek help, services are often ill-equipped to meet their needs and maintain their ongoing engagement in care.
Aims: This study aimed to systematically scope the existing literature to summarise research findings and identify gaps related to the association between gender norm conformity (incorporating masculinities and femininities) and psychological help-seeking and treatment engagement.
Methods: A search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, APA PsycINFO and CINAHL databases was conducted. Of 3,652 identified studies, 82 met inclusion criteria. Data from included studies was extracted and synthesised thematically.
Results: Findings from the included studies suggested heightened conformity to masculine gender norms was linked with lower help-seeking and treatment engagement, and preliminary evidence was found for positive relationships between feminine gender norm conformity and both help-seeking and treatment engagement. Strength-based approaches to improving men's engagement with psychological services were often recommended, yet the prevailing position on masculinities was deficit-based.
Conclusions: Further research is needed to explore the role of femininities and masculinities in men's help-seeking, and to further examine men's treatment engagement. Researchers are also encouraged to shift toward a strength-based position regarding masculinities in the context of men's mental health.
