Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current study is a literature review that examined the stigma that is associated with mental illness in relation to help-seeking behavior among older Vietnamese adults. The following inclusion criteria were used: 1) participants who were 65 years and older and identified as Vietnamese; 2) U.S. population; 3) intervention studies; 4) reviews; 5) empirical studies; and 6) book chapters published from 2005 through 2012. PsychINFO and Google Scholar search engines identified seven survey studies, one review, and one book chapter. The results from the review indicated that acculturation factors and cultural variables were significantly associated with more positive help-seeking attitudes about mental health services. Higher occupation levels and better English language skills were correlated with positive help-seeking attitudes. Greater willingness to disclose personal information and priority on mental health concerns were associated with an increased likelihood of mental health service use. Inconsistent findings on the role of stigma and cultural barriers in relation to mental health utilization were also found, suggesting the need for more intervention studies that closely examine the construct of stigma. Taken altogether, the findings suggest a lack of culturally competent mental health interventions and a need for more research that is focused on factors that enhance mental health functioning among older Vietnamese Americans.

Written by experts in cultural sensitivity, the text begins by establishing innovative approaches to understanding diversity, tools for diversity educational training for health care providers, clinical interviewing techniques and effective strategies in having difficult conversations. Indirect approaches to understanding diversity and mental health come from unique chapters that range from the ways that journalists process and discuss mental health competency to the business model for cultural competency in health care. The second section of the book moves from the broader subjects to the needs of specific populations, including Native Americans, Latinos, Asians, African American, Middle Eastern, Refugee and LGBQT communities. The discussion includes understanding the complexities of making mental health diagnoses and the various meanings these diagnoses have for the socio-cultural group described. Each chapter also details biopsychosocial treatment options and challenges. The Massachusetts General Hospital Textbook on Diversity and Cultural Sensitivity in Mental Health, Second Edition, is an excellent resource for all clinicians working with diverse populations, including psychiatrists, primary care physicians, emergency room physicians, early career physicians and trainees, psychologists, nurses, social workers, researchers, and medical educators.

Download or read book Attitudes Towards Accessing Professional Mental Health Services Among 1 5 and 2nd Generation Asian Indian Young Adults written by Christina Maria Philip and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to assess attitudes of 1.5 and 2nd generation Asian Indian young adults regarding accessing professional mental health services. There are approximately 3 million Asian Indians in the U.S., making Asian Indians the third largest Asian subgroup and growing. American-born children of Asian Indian immigrants may be at high risk for mental health concerns due to the bicultural stressors, familial expectations, and acculturation gaps. Previous studies indicate that Asian Indians tend to access professional psychological services when symptoms of illness are severe or injury has already occurred. This culture of stigmatization related to mental health may negatively impact subsequent generations and their use of mental health resources. Limited research to date has focused specifically on 1.5 and 2nd generation Asian Indian young adult populations in relation to mental health attitudes and utilization in the U.S. The Transcultural Nursing Theory served as the conceptual framework for this study. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted. A convenience sample of 30, 1.5 generation (n=10) and 2nd generation n=20) Asian Indian young adults, aged 18 to 35, completed the Attitudes Toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help (ATSPPH-SF) scale along with demographic information. The total mean summed score on the ATSPPH-SF was 25.40 (range =11 -38; SD = 6.21), indicating somewhat positive attitudes toward seeking psychological services on average with responses spanning most of the 10-40-pointscale range. A significant difference between males (n=19) and females (n=11) in relation to the total summed scale score was found (t = 2.68, p = 0.017), with women expressing more positive attitudes. No significant relationships/differences between total summed scale scores and generation, age, or educational level was found. The results of this study are similar to those from previous research, suggesting that 1.5 and 2nd generation Asian Indian young adults are similar to other young adults in the U.S. in their attitudes towards seeking mental health services. The results of this study also suggested that gender plays a significant role in attitudes toward seeking mental health services. Similar to findings of pervious research, women were found to have more positive attitudes towards seeking professional mental health services than men. The results support the need of further multivariate research, with larger samples to evaluate Contextual influences, including generation, family dynamics, religion, and culture among Asian Indian young adults. The Transcultural Theory premise of acknowledging culture in order to provide culturally competent care and that culture influences how mental illness is perceived, was not supported by this study. The attitudes toward seeking professional mental health among 1.5 and 2nd generation young adults were found to be similar to young adults from other cultures, indicating that the theory may need to be expanded to include generation and subcultural influences such as “young adult culture. "Nurses should promote public awareness and education related to mental health and illness within the Asian Indian community, thereby promoting prevention, early detection and treatment of mental illness. Targeted funding and programming is needed to promote transcultural education for health care professionals to provide culturally sensitive care for diverse populations, including Asian Indians.
