Abstract: News of unaccompanied minors (UMs) from Central America entering the United States–Mexico border have inundated political and social platforms as policies are discussed to address this crisis. The hope for a future away from violence, poverty, and fear drives these minors into embarking on an uncertain journey to the United States. The dangers these children encounter on their long travels along with previous distressing experiences from their home country put a devastating toll on their psychological and overall well-being. Their anguish continues as these youth are placed in transitional settings (i.e., shelters) while awaiting to be released into their new communities. While psychological care is often available at these settings, the complex realities of these children call for culturally and trauma-responsive guidelines to address their unique psychosocial needs. This conceptual paper reviews existent literature on the mental health needs of Central American youth in the United States–Mexico border as well as relevant theories and principles, such as the evidence-informed psychological first aid (PFA), which has shown to help Central American youth in the immediate aftermath of disasters and other crises. The aim of this manuscript was to adapt and expand on the core elements of PFA and utilize its theoretical basis to (1) enhance the psychological health of Central American UMs in transitional settings and (2) equip mental health professionals working in the United States–Mexican border or other US mental health professionals to address the immediate psychological needs of UMs from a culturally sensitive and trauma-informed approach.

Abstract: The importance of quality of life (QoL) was magnified as countries faced the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to determine the relationship between COVID-19-related stigma and preferred social support to QoL in two Southeast Asian countries. This paper examined (1) the differences in the physical and psychological dimensions of QoL (QoL-PSY, QoL-PHL), COVID-19 perceived stigma (PcS) and public stigma (PS), and preferred social support (PSS) between Indonesia (IDN) and the Philippines (PHP); (2) the associations between PS and PcS with QoL; (3) the associations between PSS and QoL; and (4) the role of the country as a moderator between the relationship of PcS and PSS to QoL. Data were collected from 992 participants (PHP = 564; IDN = 428) through an online survey (April–June 2022) and analyzed through multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA), hierarchical multiple regression, and multiple-group path analysis. After controlling for potential covariates, we found significant country differences in QOL and PSS, where Indonesia's estimated means for these two measures were significantly higher than the Philippines. Both domains of PSS had significant positive associations with both QOL domains in the merged sample; similarly, PcS had significant negative associations with both domains of QOL. Path analysis also showed similar significant predictors (PSS and PcS) associated with QoL for both countries with minor coefficient variations, except PS and PSS-ST. The findings show a similar relationship pattern between perceived stigma and social support (strong ties) to the QoL in Indonesia and the Philippines. Cultural interventions to mitigate perceived stigma were suggested in healthcare settings.

Abstract: Global health crises impose considerable strain in health care systems worldwide that create mental health challenges among medical practitioners. Greater challenges are experienced by doctors practicing in rural areas of developing countries such as the Philippines that have weak healthcare infrastructures and meager resources for health services. Thus, this study sought to explore doctors’ experiences of working in rural areas during the COVID-19 pandemic and to identify contextual factors contributing to their mental health. Interpretative phenomenological analysis was used in gathering and analyzing data from semistructured interviews with 12 doctors who worked in rural areas in Eastern Visayas, a region that has very few doctors and that experienced a rise in COVID-19 cases at the time of the study. The findings revealed challenges to doctors’ mental health that include fear of exposure, burnout, scarcity of supplies, and patient-related challenges that reflected contextual realities in the area. The results also described coping strategies utilized by the rural doctors, e.g., communing with nature, diskarte (resourcefulness), social support from family and coworkers, and bayanihan (observed in this study as mutual support among doctors in the rural community to achieve collective goals). The findings highlight policy implications and other forms of support that will sustain rural doctors’ mental health amid a pandemic.

Abstract: “Kiasu,” a Hokkien term, which directly translates as the “fear of losing out” is synonymous with the Singapore identity. Yet, there has been little empirical research investigating this indigenous psychological construct in Singapore. This paper first delves into Singapore’s Kiasu culture and existing research of Kiasu, which diverges on the operationalization and measurement of Kiasu as a psychological construct. While early research conceptualized Kiasu as a behavioral tendency, more recent investigations have begun to construe Kiasu as a mindset. Next, we review Kiasu-related outcomes in four domains: academic performance, learning strategies, well-being, and creativity. Finally, we propose a new theoretical framework integrating current research to guide future research directions. Specifically, the proposed integrated model is composed of Kiasu antecedents, individual Kiasu mindset, Kiasu behaviors, and Kiasu outcomes with moderators of normative Kiasu mindset and incentive system in the context. We believe that this proposed integrated model will help us better understand the prevalent Kiasu mindset and behavior in Singapore.

Abstract: The global mental health movement (GMHM) seeks to close the treatment gap in low- and middle-income countries including those in Southeast Asia. However, the GMHM has been criticized for its overemphasis on a Eurocentric approach to mental health care, ignoring the diversity of knowledge and resources in local communities. Given the pluralistic health care systems in most Southeast Asian countries, people may utilize both Indigenous healing and Western mental health services. Therefore, indigenous healing systems can be integrated into mental health care to offer additional resources to local people to cope with emotional distress. Using a single case study approach, this article aims to explore the therapeutic aspects of indigenous healing systems relevant to mental health care. The case is about Jing, a Chinese woman who simultaneously consulted psychiatrists, a dang-ki (Chinese shaman/spirit medium), and a traditional Chinese medicine physician in Singapore. I attempt to answer three questions. First, what is Jing’s experience of seeking help from different forms of healing systems? Second, what are the therapeutic aspects of indigenous healing systems relevant to mental health care? Third, what are the challenges for reconciling the experiential truth with the empirical truth? Based on her narrative, although these healing systems were structured in different mythic worlds and explanatory models, Jing found all of them helpful without experiencing any cognitive dissonance. This may be because she did not passively respond to the treatments but actively negotiated her expectations with the healers, constructed meanings, and adopted a pragmatic attitude to meet her needs.

Abstract: Situated against the backdrop of the Clark Special Economic Zone is the Clarkfield Aytas (also spelled as Aeta) who inspired the researchers at the Applied Psychology Program of the University of the Philippines in Pampanga to engage in Indigenous Peoples (IP) research. The condition of the Clarkfield Aytas somewhat parallels the experiences of the world’s IP whose diminishing domain forces them to adapt to a way of life that is different from theirs and assume identities that had never been created before in their culture. Studying the Aytas’ life conditions and other psychological variables detached from the bigger context of being a part of the ecosystem in which they exist in interdependence and the nation-state’s sociohistorical reality only partially describes their condition. Similarly, not responding to their need for greater community participation and empowerment may deem our psychology irrelevant and useless in advancing social justice and inclusive progress. How can psychology contribute to IP studies? Multidisciplinary research approaches in critical theories, the Sikolohiyang Pilipino, and community psychology may be utilized to come up with useful methodologies. Challenges remain for researchers in doing research with the Filipino Indigenous communities: to examine their own paradigms/worldviews and pedagogical orientation and seek to answer the question as to whether their psychology truly helps uplift the living conditions of a special population of Filipinos, the Indigenous People.

Abstract: Background: This study aimed to identify the associated factors of self-harm and suicide ideation among Chinese Indonesians during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A nonrandom sampling was performed through a nationwide online survey in Indonesia (May–June 2021). The online survey covered participants’ demographic information, suicide literacy, suicide stigma, loneliness, and self-harm and suicide ideation. A series of t-tests, χ2 tests, and hierarchical logistic regressions with the backward stepwise method were used to identify the factors associated with self-harm and suicide ideation. Responses from a total of 484 Chinese Indonesians were analyzed in this study. Results: The predictive model showed a significant goodness of fit to the observed data [χ2(17) = 174.1, p < .001; R N2 = .41]. Chinese Indonesians with an average monthly income of ≥USD 843 were found to be 0.23 times (95% CI = 0.07–0.99) less likely to experience self-harm and suicide ideation than those who did not have an income. A one-point increase in the intensity of suicide glorification and loneliness were associated with 3.06 and 3.67 increase in the chance of experiencing self-harm and suicide ideation, respectively. Conclusion: One third of Chinese Indonesians self-reported self-harm and suicide ideation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Mental health and suicide prevention intervention programs are recommended to target those with low socioeconomic status, high glorification toward suicide, and high perceived loneliness.
摘要:背景:本研究旨在了解新冠肺炎疫情期间印尼华人自残和自杀意念的相关因素。方法:在印度尼西亚(2021年5月至6月)通过全国在线调查进行非随机抽样。这项在线调查涵盖了参与者的人口统计信息、自杀知识、自杀耻辱、孤独、自残和自杀念头。采用一系列的t检验、χ2检验和分层logistic回归，采用后向逐步回归方法来确定与自残和自杀意念相关的因素。本研究共分析了484名印尼华人的回答。结果:预测模型与观测资料的拟合优度显著[χ2(17) = 174.1, p < .001;R n2 = 0.41]。平均月收入≥843美元的印尼华人自残和自杀意念的可能性是无收入人群的0.23倍(95% CI = 0.07-0.99)。自杀美化和孤独的强度每增加1分，经历自我伤害和自杀意念的几率分别增加3.06和3.67分。结论:三分之一的印尼华人在新冠肺炎疫情期间自残和有自杀念头。针对社会经济地位低、自杀倾向高、孤独感高的人群，建议实施心理健康和自杀预防干预方案。

Abstract: Although the concept of self-care for helping professionals has a growing body of psychological literature in the United States, this is not the case in other countries, such as the Philippines. As the research on self-care for helping professionals has continued to develop, it is becoming evident that further exploration is needed in relation to different predictor variables, populations, and professions. Inherent to the ideals and values of the mental health profession is the focus on the needs of the client, possibly at the cost of the professional. The potential outcome may be a helping professional who is numb to their day-to-day life stressors who may experience burnout at a much faster rate in comparison to other professions. The research on burnout has emphasized the importance of self-care but yet to examine how self-care should be implemented within the Philippine culture. In the Philippines, a typical helping professional’s caseload may be more than three times the average in developed countries, such as the United States. The purpose of this study is to highlight the importance of self-care, provide a framework of self-care components important to Filipino/a helping professionals, and explore how they address burnout and vicarious trauma in relation to their self-care practices.

As the research on self-care for helping professionals has continued to develop, it is becoming evident that further exploration is needed in relation to different predictor variables, populations, and professions. Inherent to the ideals and values of the mental health profession is the focus on the needs of the client, possibly at the cost of the professional. The potential outcome may be a helping professional who is numb to their day-to-day life stressors who may experience burnout at a much faster rate in comparison to other professions. The research on burnout has emphasized the importance of self-care but yet to examine how self-care should be implemented within the Philippine culture. In the Philippines, a typical helping professional’s caseload may be more than three times the average in developed countries, such as the United States. The purpose of this study is to highlight the importance of self-care, provide a framework of self-care components important to Filipino/a helping professionals, and explore how they address burnout and vicarious trauma in relation to their self-care practices. Using qualitative interviews of Filipino/a helping professionals and Conventional Content Analysis, 12 self-care themes emerged from their responses.","PeriodicalId":37636,"journal":{"name":"International Perspectives in Psychology: Research, Practice, Consultation","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88369286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
