Native Hawaiians are at a high risk for dementia, with Alzheimer's disease being the sixth leading cause of death for Hawaiian and other Pacific Islanders at age 65+. Many Native Hawaiian elders reside with families, including youth, in multigenerational housing for cultural, economic, and health status reasons, and as such Native Hawaiian families often provide the majority of care to loved ones with dementia. However, few educational materials are available for Native Hawaiian youth, and existing materials are in the English language and are not specific to the Hawaiʻi context. This paper focuses on the translation of a storybook for Native Hawaiian youth who may be encountering dementia in their families, titled Pōmai and her Papa, into ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian language). Some specific challenges in conducting this translation are discussed, and lessons are shared that may aid others endeavoring to translate health communications into their own Indigenous language.
夏威夷原住民患痴呆症的风险很高,阿尔茨海默病是夏威夷和其他太平洋岛民65岁以上死亡的第六大原因。由于文化、经济和健康状况的原因,许多夏威夷土著老人与家人(包括年轻人)一起住在多代同堂的房子里,因此,夏威夷土著家庭通常为患有痴呆症的亲人提供大部分照顾。然而,很少有针对夏威夷土著青年的教育材料,现有的材料都是英语的,并不是针对夏威夷的语境。本文的重点是将一本故事书(题为Pōmai和她的爸爸)翻译成夏威夷语(夏威夷语),这本书是为可能在家庭中遇到痴呆症的夏威夷土著青年编写的。讨论了进行这一翻译的一些具体挑战,并分享了可能有助于其他人努力将卫生通信翻译成自己的土著语言的经验教训。

Background

Centralized referral mechanisms anchored in primary care have been implemented to facilitate timely and appropriate access to health care in Quebec, Canada, like via Centre de répartition des demandes de services (CRDS), a regionally centralized referral system used by family physicians (FPs) for new requests to specialty care, including psychiatric services. CRDS for psychiatry was implemented in 2019, where local centralized referral systems to psychosocial or psychiatric services (Guichets d'accès en santé mentale adulte (GASMA)) were already operating. We aimed to: 1) explore FPs' use of CRDS for psychiatry; 2) better understand the functioning and potential complementarity of CRDS and GASMA, including by visually mapping these pathways; and 3) identify factors that may influence their use and functioning.

Methods

A qualitative descriptive study with 20 participants working in the healthcare sector was conducted. Thematic analysis was employed.

Results

Mental health referral pathways were mapped, with FPs as focal points. Factors identified as influencing referral mechanisms' use and functioning included: 1) challenges related to the communication of ministerial directives on the use/functioning of centralized referral systems; 2) stakeholders' perceptions on the regionally centralized system's objectives for service access; 3) collaborations between clinicians and the regionally centralized system; 4) perceived added value of the regionally centralized system compared to pre-existing centralized local referral systems; and 5) key organizational/system-level mental health challenges and facilitators. Recommendations to improve these pathways' use, functioning, and complementarity included clarifying directives and roles within trajectories, and improving communication between the regionally centralized and local systems already in place, as well as addressing organizational/system-level challenges to mental health care.

Conclusions

Findings inform on improvements for mental health service access, delivery, and continuity via centralized referral systems anchored in primary care and used by FPs; and access challenges via pathways and solutions to optimize mental health service trajectories.
在加拿大魁北克省,已经实施了以初级保健为基础的集中转诊机制,以促进及时和适当地获得保健服务,例如通过由家庭医生使用的区域集中转诊系统(CRDS),处理包括精神科服务在内的专科护理新请求。精神病学的CRDS于2019年实施,当地的社会心理或精神服务中心转诊系统(Guichets d’accires en sant mentale adult, GASMA)已经开始运作。我们的目标是:1)探索FPs在精神病学中使用CRDS的情况;2)更好地了解CRDS和GASMA的功能和潜在的互补性,包括通过可视化绘制这些通路;3)确定可能影响其使用和功能的因素。方法对20名在医疗保健行业工作的被试进行定性描述性研究。采用专题分析。结果绘制了心理健康转诊路径图,以FPs为重点。被确定为影响转诊机制使用和运作的因素包括:1)关于中央转诊系统使用/运作的部级指令的沟通方面的挑战;2)利益相关者对区域集中式系统服务获取目标的认知;3)临床医生与区域集中系统的合作;4)与已有的集中式地方转诊系统相比,区域集中式转诊系统的感知附加值;5)关键的组织/系统级心理健康挑战和促进因素。改善这些途径的使用、运作和互补性的建议包括澄清轨迹内的指示和作用,改善区域集中和地方现有系统之间的沟通,以及解决精神卫生保健面临的组织/系统层面的挑战。结论:研究结果表明,通过以初级保健为基础并由FPs使用的集中转诊系统,可以改善精神卫生服务的获取、提供和连续性;并通过优化心理健康服务轨迹的途径和解决方案来应对挑战。

Access to somatic healthcare for people with lived experience of mental health conditions in Austria: A trialogic participatory action research study 在奥地利,有精神健康状况生活经历的人获得躯体保健:一项试验参与性行动研究
IF 2.6 Q1 PSYCHIATRY Pub Date : 2025-12-01 Epub Date: 2025-11-19 DOI: 10.1016/j.ssmmh.2025.100566

People with lived experience of mental health conditions (PWLE) encounter significant obstacles when accessing somatic healthcare services, contributing to higher morbidity and reduced life expectancy compared to the general population. This research sought to identify the barriers and facilitators that PWLE face in accessing and using somatic healthcare in Austria, with the goal of co-creating strategies to address current challenges. Employing a participatory action research approach from the conceptualization and grant-writing stages and reflecting the principles of “mental health trialogue,” this study involved a steering committee composed of a person with lived experience, a family member of PWLE, and a healthcare professional. Based on World Café methodology, two co-creation workshops fostered open dialogue and collaboration among participants representing these three perspectives. Data were gathered through participant observation and systematic collection of workshop contributions, which were thematically analyzed. A total of 52 participants, with 27 in the first and 25 in the second workshop, contributed to the study. Six overarching themes were derived: (1) Awareness among healthcare professionals; (2) Accessibility and health facility design; (3) Structural diversity of services; (4) Lack of care coordination; (5) Bureaucracy and material support; and (6) Societal awareness. Findings underscore the need for systemic changes to address diagnostic overshadowing in somatic healthcare services, particularly through the design of more inclusive services and the expansion of networking between and within PWLE and their caregivers. Aiming to achieve health equity, this study provides specific policy and practice pathways to counter diagnostic overshadowing and ensure PWLEs’ somatic health needs are adequately addressed.
有精神健康状况生活经历的人在获得躯体保健服务时遇到重大障碍,与一般人群相比,这导致了更高的发病率和更短的预期寿命。这项研究旨在确定奥地利残疾人在获得和使用身体保健方面面临的障碍和促进因素,目的是共同制定战略,以应对当前的挑战。本研究采用参与式行动研究方法,从概念和拨款撰写阶段开始,并反映了“精神健康三方对话”的原则,涉及一个指导委员会,该委员会由一位有生活经验的人、一位残疾人家庭成员和一位医疗保健专业人员组成。基于世界咖啡馆的方法,两个共同创作研讨会促进了代表这三个观点的参与者之间的公开对话和合作。通过参与观察和系统收集讲习班贡献来收集数据,并对其进行主题分析。共有52名参与者参与了这项研究,其中27人参加了第一次研讨会,25人参加了第二次研讨会。得出了六个总体主题:(1)卫生保健专业人员的意识;(2)无障碍和卫生设施设计;(3)服务业结构多样性;(4)缺乏护理协调;(5)官僚主义和物质支持;(6)社会意识。研究结果强调需要进行系统性改革,以解决躯体保健服务中诊断的阴影问题,特别是通过设计更具包容性的服务和扩大残疾人及其护理人员之间和内部的网络。为了实现健康公平,本研究提供了具体的政策和实践途径,以对抗诊断阴影,并确保残疾人的身体健康需求得到充分解决。

Mental health trajectories surrounding retirement: A longitudinal perspective 退休前后的心理健康轨迹:纵向视角
IF 4.1 Q1 PSYCHIATRY Pub Date : 2025-12-01 Epub Date: 2025-06-07 DOI: 10.1016/j.ssmmh.2025.100470

While some recent studies have supported a prevailing opinion that retirement may affect mental health, few studies have covered an entire pre- to post-retirement process, as well as distinguishing both short-term and long-term effect of retirement. The aim of this study was to understand the mental health trajectories before, during, and after retirement, with a special focus on variations across income levels. We analysed data from 1538 participants spanning 17 waves of the Longitudinal Internet studies for the Social Sciences (LISS) panel and conducted a series of piecewise growth curve models to identify the best-representative patterns for three income groups. Additionally, we assessed whether baseline mental health, physical and mental job demands, and demographic factors contribute to the association between retirement and mental health. Results suggested that a three-piece model best described high-income groups, while a two-piece model was the best fit for middle- and low-income group. People exhibited an overall improvement in mental health post-retirement, but with significant individual differences. Physical job demands influenced mental health outcomes in the middle-income group, and this association persisted after adjusting for demographic variables. Within the low-income group, females and those who were not married exhibited significantly poorer mental health. Within the high-income group, individuals who retired later showed a slower improvement in mental health during the retirement year. These distinct, income-related trajectories of mental health may offer insight into the multifaceted adjustment processes linked to retirement and inform policy interventions.
虽然最近的一些研究支持了退休可能影响心理健康的普遍观点,但很少有研究涵盖了退休前到退休后的整个过程,以及区分退休的短期和长期影响。这项研究的目的是了解退休前、期间和退休后的心理健康轨迹,特别关注不同收入水平的差异。我们分析了1538名参与者的数据,跨越了社会科学纵向互联网研究(LISS)小组的17波,并进行了一系列分段增长曲线模型,以确定三个收入群体的最佳代表模式。此外,我们评估了基线心理健康、身心工作需求和人口因素是否与退休和心理健康之间的关系有关。结果表明,三件套模型最适合高收入群体,而两件套模型最适合中低收入群体。人们在退休后的心理健康状况总体上有所改善,但存在显著的个体差异。体力工作需求影响中等收入群体的心理健康结果,这种关联在调整人口变量后仍然存在。在低收入群体中,女性和未婚者的心理健康状况明显较差。在高收入群体中,较晚退休的人在退休期间的心理健康改善速度较慢。这些独特的、与收入相关的心理健康轨迹可能有助于深入了解与退休有关的多方面调整过程,并为政策干预提供信息。

Swipe to diagnose: College students, social media, and the stigma of self-diagnosis 轻扫诊断:大学生、社交媒体和自我诊断的耻辱
IF 2.6 Q1 PSYCHIATRY Pub Date : 2025-12-01 Epub Date: 2025-12-06 DOI: 10.1016/j.ssmmh.2025.100572

Self-diagnosis and self-labeling have become increasingly common as mental health content circulates on social media. College students, frequent users of social media, encounter mental health-related diagnostic language in everyday feeds, yet little is known about how they interpret and engage with this material. This paper draws largely on semi-structured interviews with 25 undergraduates, examining how students encounter self-diagnostic mental health content, how they interpret the legitimacy of self-diagnosis, and how these practices shape their views of professional care. While participants reported frequent exposure to diagnostic content on social media, they expressed skepticism about its accuracy, citing bias, misinformation, and the threat of undermining professional diagnoses. Most notably, students were reluctant to apply the label “self-diagnosed” to themselves, even when they identified with conditions that were not formally assessed. Instead, they distinguished between private identification and public labeling. Participants also acknowledged the potential benefits of self-diagnosis, particularly for those with limited access to care. These findings highlight that “self-diagnosed” carries stigma as a social label, even as the underlying practices of researching symptoms and identifying with conditions may occur privately. The legitimacy of self-diagnosis is contested and shaped by concerns about diagnostic authority, stigma, and unequal access to health care.
随着心理健康内容在社交媒体上的传播,自我诊断和自我标签变得越来越普遍。大学生是社交媒体的常客,在日常生活中会遇到与心理健康有关的诊断语言,但人们对他们如何解读和参与这些材料知之甚少。本文主要利用对25名本科生的半结构化访谈,研究学生如何遇到自我诊断的心理健康内容,他们如何解释自我诊断的合法性,以及这些实践如何塑造他们对专业护理的看法。虽然参与者报告经常在社交媒体上接触诊断内容,但他们对其准确性表示怀疑,理由是偏见、错误信息和破坏专业诊断的威胁。最值得注意的是,学生们不愿意给自己贴上“自我诊断”的标签,即使他们认为自己患有未经正式评估的疾病。相反,他们区分了私人身份和公共标签。参与者还承认自我诊断的潜在好处,特别是对那些获得护理的机会有限的人。这些发现强调,“自我诊断”作为一种社会标签带有耻辱,即使研究症状和识别疾病的潜在做法可能私下发生。自我诊断的合法性受到质疑,并受到对诊断权威、耻辱和获得卫生保健机会不平等的关注的影响。

The costs, outcomes and returns on investment of a package of intersectoral interventions for mental, neurological, and substance-use disorders, and intellectual disabilities in South Africa 南非精神、神经和物质使用障碍以及智力残疾一揽子部门间干预措施的成本、结果和投资回报
IF 2.6 Q1 PSYCHIATRY Pub Date : 2025-12-01 Epub Date: 2025-11-07 DOI: 10.1016/j.ssmmh.2025.100560

South Africa faces a significant burden from mental, neurological, and substance-use (MNS) conditions, with a substantial treatment gap that hampers the country's progress toward universal health coverage (UHC). Despite National Health Insurance (NHI) reforms, equity in access, affordability and preparedness remain concerns. The South African Mental Health Investment Case (MHIC) was commissioned to evaluate the costs and benefits of implementing mental health interventions over a 15-year period to inform national planning and budgeting. The analysis incorporated a comprehensive stakeholder consultation process including a Delphi study for expert consensus and uses the WHO Inter-UN OneHealth Tool and Excel-based modelling to estimate health and economic benefits.
The MHIC estimates substantial economic and social returns, particularly for interventions targeting common mental health conditions, with benefit to cost ratios of 4.0 and 3.6 to 1 for adult and childhood depression, 4.7 to 1 for perinatal depression and 1.5 and 0.6 to 1 for adult and childhood anxiety, respectively. The total investment needed represents approximately 11.6 % of the current health budget and aligns with recommended international norms for mental health funding. The cost of inaction is significant, unaddressed MNS conditions could cost South Africa 4 % of its GDP annually. The MHIC highlights the value of early prevention programs, including school-based interventions and targeted psychosocial support, which could avert prevalent cases and enhance productivity. By reallocating resources towards primary and community-based care, the MHIC advocates for an efficient and sustainable approach aligned with South Africa's UHC goals, emphasizing the critical need for intersectoral collaboration.
南非面临着精神、神经和药物使用(MNS)疾病带来的沉重负担,巨大的治疗缺口阻碍了该国在实现全民健康覆盖(UHC)方面取得进展。尽管进行了国民健康保险改革,但在获取、负担能力和准备方面的公平性仍然令人担忧。委托南非精神卫生投资案例(MHIC)评估在15年期间实施精神卫生干预措施的成本和收益,为国家规划和预算编制提供信息。该分析纳入了一个全面的利益攸关方协商进程,包括征求专家共识的德尔菲研究,并使用世卫组织联合国间“一个健康”工具和基于excel的建模来估计健康和经济效益。MHIC估计,这将带来巨大的经济和社会回报,特别是针对常见心理健康状况的干预措施,对成人和儿童抑郁症的效益成本比分别为4.0和3.6比1,对围产期抑郁症的效益成本比为4.7比1,对成人和儿童焦虑症的效益成本比分别为1.5和0.6比1。所需的总投资约占当前卫生预算的11.6%,并符合建议的精神卫生供资国际规范。不作为的代价是巨大的,未解决的MNS条件可能使南非每年损失其国内生产总值的4%。MHIC强调了早期预防规划的价值,包括以学校为基础的干预措施和有针对性的社会心理支持,这可以避免流行病例并提高生产力。通过将资源重新分配给初级保健和基于社区的保健,卫生保健委员会倡导采取符合南非全民健康覆盖目标的有效和可持续的方法,强调部门间合作的迫切需要。

The analysis incorporated a comprehensive stakeholder consultation process including a Delphi study for expert consensus and uses the WHO Inter-UN OneHealth Tool and Excel-based modelling to estimate health and economic benefits.</div><div>The MHIC estimates substantial economic and social returns, particularly for interventions targeting common mental health conditions, with benefit to cost ratios of 4.0 and 3.6 to 1 for adult and childhood depression, 4.7 to 1 for perinatal depression and 1.5 and 0.6 to 1 for adult and childhood anxiety, respectively. The total investment needed represents approximately 11.6 % of the current health budget and aligns with recommended international norms for mental health funding. The cost of inaction is significant, unaddressed MNS conditions could cost South Africa 4 % of its GDP annually. The MHIC highlights the value of early prevention programs, including school-based interventions and targeted psychosocial support, which could avert prevalent cases and enhance productivity. By reallocating resources towards primary and community-based care, the MHIC advocates for an efficient and sustainable approach aligned with South Africa's UHC goals, emphasizing the critical need for intersectoral collaboration.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":74861,"journal":{"name":"SSM.

The health and social consequences of untreated mental health disorders and heavy alcohol use are substantial, particularly in settings with high HIV-prevalence. Transdiagnostic approaches may offer a more efficient public health response, particularly where behavioral health services are limited. The present study explored the implementation of Common Elements Treatment Approach (CETA), a transdiagnostic intervention, in Western Uganda, from the perspectives of multilevel stakeholders. One-on-one in-depth interviews with multilevel stakeholders involved in the rollout of CETA in Uganda were conducted (n = 20) including Ministry of Health officials (n = 2), CETA trainers (n = 2), clinic managers (n = 5), and frontline providers (n = 11) involved in the rollout of CETA. Data were thematically analyzed and organized using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR 2.0). Key themes that emerged, organized by CFIR 2.0 domain and construct, included the acceptability and perceived need for CETA (and its perceived advantages over existing behavioral health services), the importance of expanding CETA beyond healthcare facilities into communities (through a task-shifting approach that leverages community health workers) to reduce provider fatigue and eliminate transportation related barriers to patient retention, and the necessity of building in-country capacity to support long-term sustainability and the train-the-trainer apprenticeship model. This qualitative implementation assessment provides suggestions for optimization of CETA delivery for this context in future implementation. Rigorous testing of CETA is needed to examine both implementation and effectiveness outcomes in Uganda.
未经治疗的精神疾患和酗酒会造成严重的健康和社会后果,特别是在艾滋病毒高流行的环境中。跨诊断方法可能提供更有效的公共卫生反应,特别是在行为卫生服务有限的地方。本研究从多层次利益相关者的角度探讨了共同要素治疗方法(CETA)在乌干达西部的实施,这是一种跨诊断干预。对参与乌干达CETA推广的多层次利益相关者进行了一对一的深入访谈(n = 20),包括卫生部官员(n = 2)、CETA培训师(n = 2)、诊所管理人员(n = 5)和参与CETA推广的一线提供者(n = 11)。使用实施研究统一框架(CFIR 2.0)对数据进行主题分析和组织。由CFIR 2.0领域和结构组织的关键主题包括对CETA的可接受性和感知需求(及其对现有行为健康服务的感知优势),将CETA从医疗设施扩展到社区的重要性(通过利用社区卫生工作者的任务转移方法),以减少提供者疲劳并消除与患者保留相关的交通障碍,以及建设国内能力以支持长期可持续性和培训师培训模式的必要性。这种定性的实施评估为在未来的实施中优化CETA的交付提供了建议。需要对CETA进行严格测试,以审查乌干达的执行情况和有效性结果。

Remembering the way forward: How traditional and indigenous coming of age rites of passage can support mental health and social connection in the U.S 记住前进的道路:传统的和本土的成年仪式如何支持美国的心理健康和社会联系
IF 2.6 Q1 PSYCHIATRY Pub Date : 2025-12-01 Epub Date: 2025-09-29 DOI: 10.1016/j.ssmmh.2025.100538

Purpose

Mental health in young adults and widespread social disconnection are two intersecting crises seen in the U.S. We examine the impact of individualist cultural values in the U.S. on these crises and explore how traditional cultures have leveraged the sensitive period of adolescence to support mental health and social cohesion through coming-of-age rites of passage.

Methods

In this retrospective study, young adults were emailed a survey asking about their adolescent experiences of coming-of-age rites of passage and their current physical health, mental health and coping ability. We looked at associations between rites of passage experiences and outcomes in the n = 860 young adults who completed the survey.

Results

Having diverse rites of passage experiences was not associated with later outcomes, however, we did see associations between several individual experiences and outcomes. Having a connection with nature or the larger universe, giving something up from childhood and getting something symbolic of the transition were all significantly associated with outcomes.

Discussion

This paper explores how coming-of-age rites of passage can address the mental health and social disconnection crises in the U.S., setting the stage for more rigorous investigation of the topic. We recommend leveraging existing rites of passage programs and facilitators to help generate hypotheses, and to use more robust methods to identify mechanisms of action towards building multilevel rites of passage interventions to improve mental health and social connection.
在美国,年轻人的目的健康和广泛的社会脱节是两个交叉的危机。我们研究了美国个人主义文化价值观对这些危机的影响,并探讨了传统文化如何利用青春期的敏感时期,通过成年仪式来支持心理健康和社会凝聚力。方法在本回顾性研究中,通过电子邮件对青少年进行问卷调查,询问他们在青少年时期的成人仪式经历以及他们目前的身体健康、心理健康和应对能力。我们研究了860名完成调查的年轻人的成人仪式经历和结果之间的联系。不同的成人仪式经历与后来的结果无关,然而,我们确实看到了几个个体经历和结果之间的联系。与自然或更大的宇宙有联系,从童年开始放弃一些东西,得到一些象征过渡的东西,这些都与结果显著相关。本文探讨了成人仪式如何解决美国的心理健康和社会脱节危机,为更严格的研究这一主题奠定了基础。我们建议利用现有的成人仪式项目和促进者来帮助产生假设,并使用更强大的方法来确定行动机制,以建立多层次的成人仪式干预措施,以改善心理健康和社会联系。

Introduction

Psychotic conditions are major causes of disability in Latin America, where mental healthcare is mostly limited and inadequate. Indigenous People throughout this region experience additional barriers to mental health care, compounded by structural inequities and diverse health practices. This study in Guatemala described the Maya Indigenous People's perceptions about psychosis, its symptoms, causes, responses to, and recovery. Results will inform the design of a community-led, culturally grounded program for people living with psychosis (PLWP).

Methods

We conducted free listing and semi-structured interviews in Spanish or Maya Tz'utujil language. Participants were PLWP, family caregivers, community leaders, and mental health, traditional, and primary care providers. We followed Kleinman's explanatory model and elicited locally meaningful recovery outcomes. Our team performed a matrix-based thematic analysis.

Results

We interviewed 30 participants. Key findings included (1) varying terms and understandings of psychosis symptoms and causes across participant subgroups; (2) extremely limited care, pluralistic treatment practices, and tensions between biomedical and traditional systems; (3) matching community expectations and recovery outcomes, with contrasting views between PLWP, who expressed hope, and family caregivers and providers, who expressed doubts and resignation; and (4) stigma as a cross-cutting barrier towards care and recovery across family-, community- and provider-levels linked to social exclusion among PLWP and family caregivers.

Conclusion

Effective community programs must respond to local definitions of recovery, incorporate biomedical, traditional, and spiritual approaches, involve PLWP and family caregivers, and address stigma. Engaging Indigenous peoples’ practices in programs for PLWP can improve their acceptability, reach, and effectiveness.
在拉丁美洲,精神疾病是导致残疾的主要原因,那里的精神卫生保健大多是有限和不充分的。整个区域的土著人民在获得精神卫生保健方面面临更多障碍,再加上结构性不平等和多样化的卫生做法。这项在危地马拉进行的研究描述了玛雅土著人民对精神病的看法、症状、原因、反应和康复。研究结果将为设计一个以社区为主导、以文化为基础的精神病患者项目(PLWP)提供信息。方法采用西班牙语或玛雅塔乌图吉尔语进行自由清单和半结构化访谈。参与者包括PLWP、家庭照顾者、社区领袖、精神卫生、传统和初级保健提供者。我们遵循Kleinman的解释模型,得出了局部有意义的恢复结果。我们的团队进行了基于矩阵的主题分析。结果我们采访了30名参与者。主要发现包括:(1)不同参与者亚组对精神病症状和病因的不同术语和理解;(2)极其有限的护理,多元化的治疗方法,以及生物医学和传统系统之间的紧张关系;(3)将社区期望与康复结果相匹配,PLWP表达了希望,而家庭照顾者和提供者表达了怀疑和无奈;(4)耻辱是家庭、社区和提供者层面对护理和康复的跨领域障碍,与PLWP和家庭照顾者之间的社会排斥有关。结论有效的社区项目必须响应当地对康复的定义,结合生物医学、传统和精神方法,让PLWP和家庭照顾者参与,并解决耻辱感问题。将土著人民的做法纳入PLWP项目可以提高其可接受性、覆盖面和有效性。

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms amongst people with serious mental illness (SMI) are prevalent in Ethiopia and throughout the world, yet treatment is scarce, particularly in low-resource settings with few mental health providers. This study describes the process of adapting a PTSD treatment, originally designed to be delivered by mental health providers in specialty mental health clinics in the US, to be appropriate, acceptable and sustainable when delivered by non-specialist providers in routine care in rural Ethiopian primary care clinics. Methods included a literature review, qualitative interviews (N = 48), an adaptation workshop (N = 12), and theater, cognitive, and usability testing (N = 14) with people with SMI, caregivers of people with SMI, health care providers, and community leaders. Participants found the intervention to be appropriate and acceptable, while also noting multiple patient, family, provider, clinic and community-level barriers that might impact successful delivery and receipt of the intervention. The intervention was adapted to address as many barriers as possible, while maintaining adherence to the original intervention's theoretical and conceptual model. While many of these barriers could be addressed with adaptations, others such as high rates of poverty and limited population-level mental health awareness, require policy and community-based solutions and systemic change. Future research is needed to assess whether the intervention is feasible and effective in this setting.
严重精神疾病(SMI)患者的创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)症状在埃塞俄比亚和全世界都很普遍,但治疗很少,特别是在资源匮乏、精神卫生提供者很少的环境中。本研究描述了调整创伤后应激障碍治疗的过程,最初设计由美国专业精神卫生诊所的精神卫生提供者提供,当非专业提供者在埃塞俄比亚农村初级保健诊所的常规护理中提供时,是适当的,可接受的和可持续的。方法包括文献综述、定性访谈(N = 48)、适应研讨会(N = 12)和戏剧、认知和可用性测试(N = 14),参与者包括重度精神障碍患者、重度精神障碍患者的照顾者、卫生保健提供者和社区领导人。参与者认为干预措施是适当和可接受的,同时也注意到可能影响干预措施成功交付和接收的多重患者、家庭、提供者、诊所和社区层面的障碍。干预措施经过调整,以解决尽可能多的障碍,同时保持对原始干预措施理论和概念模型的坚持。虽然其中许多障碍可以通过适应措施加以解决,但其他障碍,如贫困率高和人口层面的心理健康意识有限,则需要政策和以社区为基础的解决办法以及系统性变革。需要进一步的研究来评估在这种情况下干预是否可行和有效。
