Download or read book Stigma and Help seeking Behavior in Older Vietnamese Adults written by Anh Hoang and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 96 pages. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Radical Psychology outlines the psychological factors that shape multicultural competency and social justice effectiveness, such as implicit and explicit biases, difficulties in accurate self-assessment of cultural competency and social justice skills, and the historical biases that continue to shape Western psychological training and practice. This book provides a challenging balance between research and professional reflections in order to appeal to readers with different cultural backgrounds and learning styles.

This book was released on 2019-08-16 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition is updated to include new research and clinical material for practitioners working with mental health patients of diverse backgrounds. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "More research is needed in the area of counseling children (Thompson, 2007) and specifically with ethnic minority children. Despite the large population and higher prevalence of mental health concerns due to refugee and immigrant status compared to the overall American population, the Vietnamese American population underutilizes mental health services. The current study expands on existing research using a constructivist lens and multiple case study approach. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with four Vietnamese American mothers who had children 12 and under who had or are currently using mental health services. Two primarily were Vietnamese speaking and two were primarily English speaking. Participants shared perceptions of mental health for Vietnamese American children, and described their experiences with mental health services for their children. The findings of this study indicate that Vietnamese beliefs and values, perceptions of problems, perceptions of factors contributing to mental health, approaches to addressing mental health concerns, and experiences of treatment all impacted the participants perceptions of their children's mental health service use. Implications of the findings will be detailed according to the Ecological Systems Theory (Bronfenbrenner, 1979; Bronfenbrenner & Morris, 1998; Bronfenbrenner & Morris, 2006), combined with an integrative model for Vietnamese Americans (Lam, 2005), and detailed in regards to practice, training, and future research."--Preface.
