Aim

In South Africa and other low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), personal recovery for people with a severe mental health condition (SMHC) is hampered by lack of community-based support. This paper describes the development of a non-specialist and peer-facilitated recovery intervention (PRIZE) intended as an adjunct to psychiatric care.

Methods

Intervention development was guided by the MRC framework for complex interventions. Evidence review was followed by 43 in-depth interviews exploring desired recovery outcomes of people with lived experience and caregivers, and 15 interviews with service providers. Thematic analysis guided development of a theory of change and evaluation framework. District stakeholder mapping, engagement and feedback was undertaken to explore acceptability and feasibility of recovery groups facilitated by trained peers (people with lived experience of SMHC or carers).

Results

Intervention components are described in line with the GUIDED framework. Formative work identified expressed recovery needs and led to a theory of change based on building self-esteem, reducing social isolation, and improving responses to financial instability, substance use and medication difficulties. The intervention was based on sharing experiences and coping strategies. It incorporated two phases of mutual support groups comprising people with SMHC and caregivers. An auxiliary social worker-led phase (9 weekly sessions) was followed by a supported peer-led phase (12 weekly sessions). The planned didactic psychosocial rehabilitation intervention evolved into an intervention designed to support individuals’ recovery journeys, grounded in values of building hope, opportunity and control, and harnessing strengths. This required training to realign the practice of auxiliary social workers accustomed to a traditional helping role towards an empowering role. Particular attention was given to processes for supportive supervision and mentorship.

Conclusion

The involvement of district stakeholders and potential participants resulted in a tailored, context-specific intervention with potential to contribute to evidence for community-based, task-shared, peer-led and recovery-focused interventions in LMIC.

Known to be discrediting and discriminatory in nature, scholars have argued that the impact of stigma against persons with lived experiences of mental illnesses (PWLEs) is far worse than living with the symptoms of the conditions itself. Particularly in Asia where mental illnesses tend to be highly moralized, where PWLEs are often conceived as displaying poor character due to Confucius ideology or religious reasons, evidence has shown that stigma against PWLEs is much stronger in Asia than in the Western contexts. Currently, there is limited insights on the origins of mental illness stigma and how stigma is constructed into moralized forms and perpetuated across society. Underpinned by social constructionism, this systematic review and meta-ethnography paper undertook a theory-driven approach to address ‘how is mental illness stigma socially constructed amongst Asians?’ Systematic search for primary qualitative research journal papers was conducted across six databases (PubMed; Embase; PsycINFO; CINAHL; Social Science Database; SCOPUS), yielding 4516 articles. 30 articles were identified for synthesis. Results revealed how historical context of governmental (colonialism; Confucius ideology; industrialization) and religious institutions and country-specific power elites and individuals shaped the constructions of cultural stigma. Cultural stigma permeates societies through culturally dependent language via word-of-mouth (facilitated by collectivism) and media into forms of public stigma, causing a lack of trust between public and PWLEs. Individuals in societies further perpetuate stigma by means of interpreting, labelling anomalies and discriminating PWLEs based on preconceived learnt cultural prejudices that are activated during social interactions, further reinforcing public stigma. Finally, while most PWLEs anticipate stigma and self-stigmatize due to internalization of cultural and public stigma, unique to this study, a small group of PWLEs was able to resist and contest stigma due to holding socially valued roles that ‘matter most’. Recommendations for destigmatization strategies are suggested in view of these findings.
众所周知,成见具有诋毁和歧视的性质,有学者认为,对有精神疾病生活经历者(PWLEs)的成见所造成的影响远比精神疾病的症状本身更糟糕。特别是在亚洲,精神疾病往往被高度道德化,由于孔子思想或宗教原因,PWLEs 往往被视为品行不端。目前,人们对精神疾病成见的起源以及成见是如何被建构为道德化形式并在全社会延续的认识还很有限。在社会建构主义的支持下,这篇系统性综述和元民族志论文采用了理论驱动的方法来探讨 "精神疾病成见是如何在亚洲人中进行社会建构的?在六个数据库(PubMed、Embase、PsycINFO、CINAHL、社会科学数据库、SCOPUS)中对主要定性研究期刊论文进行了系统检索,共检索到 4516 篇文章。最后确定了 30 篇文章进行综述。研究结果揭示了政府(殖民主义;孔子思想;工业化)和宗教机构的历史背景以及特定国家的权力精英和个人是如何塑造文化成见的。文化成见通过依赖于文化的语言,通过口口相传(集体主义的推动)和媒体渗透到社会中,成为公众成见的形式,导致公众和公共生活教育机构之间缺乏信任。社会中的个人根据先入为主的、在社会交往中被激活的文化偏见,对异常现象进行解释、贴标签和歧视,进一步加深了公众对残疾人的成见。最后,虽然大多数残疾人由于文化和公众成见的内化而预期会受到成见和自我鄙视,但在本研究中,有一小部分残疾人由于扮演了 "最重要 "的社会角色而能够抵制和对抗成见。鉴于这些研究结果,我们提出了消除鄙视战略的建议。

Introduction

Digital mental health technologies are services that rely significantly on big data and artificial intelligence and are widely championed as possible solutions to global mental healthcare shortages. Services include prediction and detection of symptoms, personalized treatment, chatbot therapy, and both personal and population-level monitoring. Existing research has focused on describing the functionality, acceptability, and efficacy of these technologies, as well as data governance challenges. This critical review explores the societal implications of digital mental health technologies in terms of its impacts on mental healthcare, population-based monitoring of mental health, and commodification of mental health data.

Methods

Searched six databases for literature on digital mental health technologies published between 2014 and 2023 following PRISMA-ScR. Conducted qualitative data analysis of 53 records using the Framework method, bringing into conversation wider literature on mental healthcare, ethics, health equity, and data capitalism.

Results

The literature on digital mental health technologies highlights three main areas of ethical concern. First, these technologies could affect treatment and management through changes in accessibility, quality and resource availability of mental healthcare in either positive or negative ways, depending on linkages with clinical services. In addition, these technologies may have ramifications due to the objectification or dehumanization of mental healthcare, the medicalization of poor mental health, and the prominence of self-management. Second, the implications of novel clinical and population-based monitoring are explored, including algorithm-triggered mental health interventions and surveillance. Third, the literature brings forth reservations about the commodification of mental health data through the practice of data capitalism.

Conclusion

This critical review suggests an urgent need for comprehensive regulation of digital mental health technologies and scholarly collaboration to curb adverse effects on mental healthcare systems and society, while remaining optimistic regarding the potential benefits of these services if implemented in collaboration with clinicians and communities who experience mental illness.
导言数字心理健康技术是一种严重依赖大数据和人工智能的服务,被广泛认为是解决全球心理保健短缺问题的可行方案。这些服务包括预测和检测症状、个性化治疗、聊天机器人疗法以及个人和人群监测。现有的研究主要集中在描述这些技术的功能性、可接受性和功效,以及数据管理方面的挑战。本评论从数字心理健康技术对心理保健的影响、基于人群的心理健康监测以及心理健康数据商品化等方面探讨了数字心理健康技术的社会意义。方法按照PRISMA-ScR检索了六个数据库中2014年至2023年间发表的有关数字心理健康技术的文献。采用 "框架 "方法对 53 条记录进行了定性数据分析,并与有关精神医疗、伦理、健康公平和数据资本主义的更广泛文献进行了交流。结果有关数字精神健康技术的文献强调了三个主要的伦理关注领域。首先,根据与临床服务的联系,这些技术可能通过改变心理保健的可及性、质量和资源可用性,以积极或消极的方式影响治疗和管理。此外,这些技术还可能因精神保健的客体化或非人性化、不良精神健康的医疗化以及自我管理的突出而产生影响。其次,探讨了新型临床和人群监测的影响,包括算法触发的心理健康干预和监测。第三,文献对通过数据资本主义将心理健康数据商品化的做法提出了保留意见。 结论:这篇评论性综述表明,迫切需要对数字心理健康技术进行全面监管,并开展学术合作,以遏制对心理医疗系统和社会的不利影响,同时,如果与临床医生和经历过精神疾病的社区合作实施这些服务,我们对其潜在的益处仍持乐观态度。

Household debt has dramatically increased in the United States in the past four decades, notwithstanding a temporary reprieve during the Covid-19 Pandemic. While debt has expanded across social groups, low-income individuals are most negatively impacted, taking on high-cost debt that they struggle to repay, often simply to meet basic needs. This article explores indebtedness among low- and moderate-income US households, and its association with physical and mental health. While most existing studies explore health effects of specific debt types, or monetary value of total debt, our research proposes a categorization of debt into three types (potential wealth-building, problem short-term, and non-loan debt) that is more meaningful in health research and addresses the experience of managing multiple and intersecting debts, common among low-income households. Using mixed methods, we show how these debts are experienced by debtors, resulting in them feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and stressed, ultimately taking a toll on both their physical and mental health.
在过去的 40 年里,美国家庭债务急剧增加,尽管在 19 世纪科维德大流行期间曾有过暂时的缓和。虽然债务在各个社会群体中都有所扩大,但低收入者受到的负面影响最大,他们背负着高成本债务,却难以偿还,往往只是为了满足基本需求。本文探讨了美国中低收入家庭的负债情况及其与身心健康的关系。现有研究大多探讨特定债务类型或债务总额的货币价值对健康的影响,而我们的研究则提出将债务分为三种类型(潜在的财富积累、问题短期债务和非贷款债务),这对健康研究更有意义,并解决了低收入家庭普遍存在的管理多重交叉债务的问题。通过混合方法,我们展示了债务人如何经历这些债务,从而感到不知所措、焦虑和压力,最终对他们的身心健康造成损害。

Background

Alcohol misuse is a significant health problem among forcibly displaced populations including male South Sudanese refugees in northern Uganda, yet interventions are sorely lacking. Developing an explanatory model of alcohol misuse in this population is the first step to designing appropriate and effective interventions. The aim of the current study was to examine alcohol misuse in this setting and to conceptualize an explanatory model of alcohol misuse.

Method

A total of 57 interviews were conducted with male refugees (18+ years) with alcohol misuse (n = 17), their family members (n = 15), community and religious leaders (n = 15), and mental health and psychosocial support providers (n = 10) in Rhino Camp settlement in northern Uganda. A thematic analysis approach was used to inductively analyze the data.

Results

Alcohol misuse was identified as a significant psychosocial problem among men in this setting. The adversity (e.g. trauma, loss, poverty), psychological distress (e.g. demoralization), perpetuators (e.g. ease of availability of alcohol, family conflict), and consequences of alcohol use (e.g. interpartner violence, exacerbated poverty) were identified. An explanatory model emerged from the data showing a reinforcing relationship in which adversity causes psychological distress, which leads to increased alcohol use via a number of personal, interpersonal, community and societal perpetuators, and over time increased alcohol use amplifies psychological distress which further increases alcohol misuse.

Conclusions

Given the need to address alcohol misuse in this population, this explanatory model of alcohol misuse can be used to inform prevention and treatment interventions for alcohol misuse. These interventions should endeavor to address the identified determinants of alcohol misuse while being cognizant of the social and cultural considerations specific to males in this population.
背景在被迫流离失所的人群(包括乌干达北部的南苏丹男性难民)中,酗酒是一个严重的健康问题,但却严重缺乏干预措施。建立该人群酒精滥用的解释模型是设计适当有效干预措施的第一步。本研究的目的是调查在这种环境下的酒精滥用情况,并对酒精滥用的解释模型进行概念化。研究方法在乌干达北部犀牛营定居点对有酒精滥用的男性难民(18 岁以上)(17 人)、其家庭成员(15 人)、社区和宗教领袖(15 人)以及心理健康和社会心理支持提供者(10 人)进行了 57 次访谈。采用主题分析法对数据进行归纳分析。结果在这种环境下,酗酒被认为是男性的一个重要社会心理问题。确定了酗酒的逆境(如创伤、损失、贫困)、心理困扰(如士气低落)、肇事者(如酒精容易获得、家庭冲突)和后果(如伴侣间暴力、贫困加剧)。从数据中得出的解释性模型显示了一种强化关系,即逆境导致心理困扰,而心理困扰又通过一些个人、人际、社区和社会的致因导致酒精使用的增加,随着时间的推移,酒精使用的增加会放大心理困扰,从而进一步增加酒精滥用。这些干预措施应努力解决已确定的酒精滥用决定因素,同时认识到该人群中男性特有的社会和文化因素。

Background

Young people (aged 14–24 years) living with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), especially, those in low-resource settings experiencing having T1D complications, and poor mental health. Yet, little is known about T1D complications, mental health, and their lived experiences among young people and their caregivers in Ghana.

Objective

This article sought to understand a) the dynamics of T1D complications, mental health, and lived experiences, and b) drawing on this evidence, develop structural and behavioural pathways of T1D complication occurrence among young people in Ghana.

Methods

The study design was interpretivist phenomenology (qualitative). Twenty-eight young people living with T1D (YPLWD), 12 caregivers, and six healthcare providers across three regions in southern Ghana were purposively recruited and interviewed using interview guides. The methods included a photovoice where the YPLWD took photographs to highlight visible complications. Themes were formed from the quotes and photovoice. The analytical technique was thematic - performed with the aid of QSR NVivo 14.

Results

Four main themes which were: physical complications, mental health, other adverse health outcomes, and structural pathways of complication occurrence were identified from the analyses. Physical complications discussed included visual impairment, diabetic coma, reproductive ill-health, and kidney disease. We found on the average, eight (8) years of living with T1D (with minimum and maximum years of 2 and 4 respectively). Mental health issues including anxiety and suicidal ideation transcended YPLWD to caregivers. Multiple structural and behavioural risk factors of T1D complications were also found.

Conclusion

The YPLWD and caregivers in Ghana experienced multiple T1D complications and poor mental health. Unfortunately, these manifested early in their natural history of T1D, and were influenced by inadequate structural resources, and the adoption of sub-optimal self-care practices. This article underscores the need to improve structural T1D resources, promote optimal blood glucose control, alongside mental/psychosocial support for patients and their caregivers in Ghana.
背景患有 1 型糖尿病(T1D)的年轻人(14-24 岁),尤其是那些生活在资源匮乏环境中的年轻人,会出现 T1D 并发症,而且心理健康状况不佳。本文旨在了解 a) T1D 并发症、心理健康和生活经历的动态变化;b) 借鉴这些证据,制定加纳青少年 T1D 并发症发生的结构和行为路径。有目的性地招募了加纳南部三个地区的 28 名 T1D 青少年患者 (YPLWD)、12 名护理人员和 6 名医疗服务提供者,并使用访谈指南对他们进行了访谈。访谈方法包括摄影选择,由 YPLWD 拍摄照片,突出可见的并发症。通过引语和照片选择形成了主题。结果分析确定了四大主题:身体并发症、心理健康、其他不良健康后果和并发症发生的结构路径。讨论的身体并发症包括视力损伤、糖尿病昏迷、生殖健康不良和肾病。我们发现,T1D 患者的平均生活年限为 8 年(最短和最长分别为 2 年和 4 年)。包括焦虑和自杀倾向在内的心理健康问题已经超越了青少 年残疾人和照顾者。结论 加纳的青年残疾人和照顾者经历了多种 T1D 并发症和不良的心理健康问题。不幸的是,这些并发症在 T1D 自然病史的早期就已显现,并受到结构性资源不足和采用次优自我护理方法的影响。这篇文章强调了改善加纳 T1D 结构性资源、促进最佳血糖控制以及为患者及其护理人员提供精神/心理支持的必要性。

Introduction

Migrant populations, especially women, are often more susceptible to poor mental health and they face healthcare access barriers. This study aims to develop and evaluate a community-based mental health intervention through a participative research process to promote mental health and prevent psychiatric disorders among migrant women in Barcelona city. The intervention is built upon two evidence-based guidelines: Group Problem Management Plus (Group PM+) and Self-Help Plus (SH+).

Methods

“Self-Care Among Women” is a mixed-methods process evaluation study for the development of a community-based psychological pilot intervention. A participatory approach will be employed to adapt the content agenda of the community mental health intervention. Process indicators on context, implementation and mechanisms of change will be assessed through an intersectionality lens to explore the way in which the intervention is developed and implemented. The contextual fit, acceptability and feasibility of the proposed psychological intervention will be examined through participants' and facilitators' perceptions of the intervention. Further, women's clinical mental health condition and wellbeing will be assessed before and after the intervention, through standardized and culturally-validated instruments.

Ethics and dissemination

Ethical approval of the research protocol has been obtained by the Research Ethics Committees of Hospital Clínic, Fundació Institut Universitari per a la recerca a l’Atenció Primària de Salut Jordi Gol i Gurina (IDIAPJGol) and Parc Sanitari Sant Joan de Déu. Written informed consent will be requested from all research participants for inclusion in the study. The study results will be published in peer-reviewed journals and communicated to congresses.

Background

An increasing number of people are engaged in humanitarian responses worldwide as aid workers. Peer Refugee Helpers (PRHs) are refugees or asylum seekers engaged formally in humanitarian assistance through Aid/Humanitarian Organizations, yet the factors affecting their mental health are poorly understood.

Objectives

This study aims to investigate the mental health of PRHs and explore factors that may contribute to anxiety and depression in this group through the lens of the Salutogenic Model of Health (SMH).

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted comparing PRHs engaged with Aid/Humanitarian Organizations (AOs) in Greece with non-helpers (N = 248), all of whom had experienced forced migration. Standardized instruments were used to measure symptoms of depression and anxiety (GAD-7, PHQ-9), social support (SPS-24), sense of coherence (SOC-13), coping flexibility (PACT), and trauma exposure (BTQ-10). Using regression analyses, we compared symptoms of anxiety and depression in a group of PRHs (n = 107) to a control group of non-helpers (n = 141). Socio-demographic variables (ex. occupational status) were also included in the model. Furthermore, we investigated protective and risk factors for anxiety and depression within the group of PRHs.

Results

PRHs did not differ significantly from the non-helpers in their anxiety and depression levels. In the adjusted regression analyses within the group of PRHs, being paid and having a higher sense of coherence were significantly associated with lower anxiety and depression.

Conclusions

To enhance the well-being and mental health of refugees working as PRHs in the humanitarian field, AOs should first address post-migration living difficulties that contribute to anxiety and depression. Second, PRHs should be supported adequately through training and supervision that will help them build fundamental competencies. Third, compensation for the PRH engagement is instrumental in addressing job insecurity, while facilitating access to resources, relevant to basic and psychological needs.
背景越来越多的人以援助工作者的身份参与到世界各地的人道主义救援工作中。难民同伴互助者(PRHs)是通过援助/人道主义组织正式参与人道主义援助的难民或寻求庇护者,但人们对影响他们心理健康的因素却知之甚少。本研究旨在调查PRHs的心理健康状况,并从健康致乐模式(SMH)的角度探讨可能导致该群体焦虑和抑郁的因素。方法 本研究对参与希腊援助/人道主义组织(AOs)的PRHs和非援助者(N = 248)进行了横断面比较,所有这些人都经历过被迫移民。我们使用标准化工具来测量抑郁和焦虑症状(GAD-7、PHQ-9)、社会支持(SPS-24)、连贯感(SOC-13)、应对灵活性(PACT)和创伤暴露(BTQ-10)。通过回归分析,我们比较了一组 PRHs(n = 107)和一组非求助者(n = 141)的焦虑和抑郁症状。社会人口变量(如职业状况)也被纳入模型。此外,我们还调查了公屋居民组中焦虑和抑郁的保护因素和风险因素。结论为了提高在人道主义领域担任家佣的难民的福利和心理健康水平,救援组织应首先解决导致焦虑和抑郁的移民后生活困难。其次,应通过培训和监督为公共卫生人员提供充分支持,帮助他们建立基本能力。第三,对难民专员的工作给予补偿,有助于解决工作不稳定的问题,同时促进他们获得与基本需求和心理需求相关的资源。
