摘要

本研究探讨了加纳南部一个Ga社区关于精神疾病的外行概念和归因。该研究的样本包括11名男性和12名女性，年龄从30岁到81岁不等。参与者完成了一对一的访谈。参与者将精神疾病归因于多相归因，包括生物医学和精神上的解释。归因有助于理解寻求帮助的行为。污名被认为是精神疾病患者生活经历中的一个重要因素。个体痛苦作为精神疾病标志的认识似乎没有社会指标那么突出。我们的受访者的叙述强调了社会背景在识别和研究社区精神疾病的意义上的重要性。

Representations of Mental Illness in a Ga Community in Southern Ghana

This study explored lay concepts about and attributions of mental illness in a Ga community in southern Ghana. The study’s sample consisted of 11 Ga men and 12 Ga women, ranging in age from 30-81. Participants completed one-on-one interviews. Participants ascribed to polyphasic attributions of mental illness including biomedical and spiritual explanations. Attributions informed understandings of help-seeking behavior. Stigma was recognized as an important factor in the lived experience of people with mental illness. The recognition of individual distress as a marker of mental illness seemed less prominent than social indicators. Our interviewees’ narratives highlighted the importance of the social context in identifying and making meaning of mental illness in the community of study.
