Book Synopsis Filipinos and the Utilization of Mental Health Services in the United States by : Cheryl Joy Martinez
Download or read book Filipinos and the Utilization of Mental Health Services in the United States written by Cheryl Joy Martinez and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filipinos are the fastest growing minority groups of immigrants to the United States, next to Mexicans. White there is dearth of population-based studies on mental health issues and problems among Asian-Americans, much fewer studies had been done on Filipino-Americans. This between-groups study will determine the prevalence of depression among Filipino immigrant women who migrated to the United States from the years 1986-2000. A sample of 500 women will complete the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression (CES-D) and the utilization of mental health scales. It is hypothesized that prevalence of depression and mental health utilization rates differ significantly in terms of socio-demographic characteristics such as age, marital status, educational level, immigration status and years of residency in the United States.

Book Synopsis Understanding Help-seeking Behavior in College Students of Mexican Origin who are Suffering from Anxious And/or Depressive Symptoms by : Fabian Aguirre
Download or read book Understanding Help-seeking Behavior in College Students of Mexican Origin who are Suffering from Anxious And/or Depressive Symptoms written by Fabian Aguirre and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study sought to understand why college students of Mexican origin underutilize mental health services (i.e., university counseling services). Previous research has identified several potential reasons for the underutilization of mental health services by Mexican Americans. These reasons can be grouped into one of three categories: (1) negative attitudes toward mental illness and mental health services, (2) greater use of alternative, informal resources, and (3) barriers. To examine these factors in the context of help-seeking behavior, Ajzen's theory of planned behavior (TPB) was used. The TPB assumes that the best predictor of a certain behavior is an individual's intention to perform that specific behavior. This model includes three determinants of the intent to perform a certain behavior: (1) attitudes toward the behavior, (2) subjective normative beliefs about performing the behavior, and (3) perceived behavioral control of performing the behavior. The primary aim of this study was to examine the meditating effects of culture on the TPB and investigate the unique factors contributing to help-seeking behavior in college students of Mexican origin reporting anxious and/or depressive symptoms. Results showed that the TPB was effective in predicting help-seeking behavior, with attitudes and subjective normative beliefs as the strongest predictors. Acculturation and cultural values did not mediate the TPB model as originally predicted, however the TPB determinants differed in predictability between help-seekers and non help-seekers. Specifically, among help-seekers, attitudes predicted intent to seek psychological services; among non help-seekers, subjective normative beliefs predicted intent. Help-seekers also reported more ease than non help-seekers on a few of the steps toward help-seeking. Lastly, qualitative measures supported findings based on the TPB and provided additional support for the strong stigmatizing views among college students of Mexican origin. These findings suggest that non help-seekers are a complex group and other variables, such as acculturative stress, perceived social support, and screening participants on perceived symptom distress and impairment, need to be addressed. In addition, subjective normative beliefs need to be considered in the development of psychoeducational interventions which encourage seeking psychological services for individuals of Mexican origin experiencing significant anxious or depressive symptoms.

Book Synopsis Strategic Help Seeking by : Stuart A. Karabenick
Download or read book Strategic Help Seeking written by Stuart A. Karabenick and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is considerable agreement that more successful learners are active, engaged, and self-regulating learners who understand and are motivated to apply learning strategies under appropriate conditions. One important strategic activity is seeking help when necessary, rather than giving up or engaging in fruitless persistence. Research on strategic help seeking has matured significantly in recent years. This volume captures the current state of knowledge, research, and theory on help seeking as a strategic learning resource. It is international in scope, with contributors from the U.S., the Netherlands, Japan, and Israel. As a whole, the book suggests that strategic (adaptive) help seeking is a critical school readiness skill that is facilitated by mastery-oriented classroom achievement and social goals, by teachers who invite questions rather than those who ask them, and by cultural characteristics that support student inquiry. A conceptual overview is followed by three chapters that examine help seeking from complementary theoretical perspectives and make important distinctions between forms of help seeking; two chapters that focus on how learners' achievement and social goals affect classroom help seeking; one chapter specifically devoted to cross-cultural comparisons of help seeking in Western cultures and in Japan; two chapters that examine the most frequent manifestation of help seeking--that of question asking; and one chapter that explores help-seeking in the information age (the library reference process, information technology, and computer-mediated communication). All chapters include attention to the implications of research and theory for help seeking in instructional settings. Strategic Help Seeking is an excellent resource for educational researchers and practitioners including teachers, school administrators, instructional designers, reference librarians.

Book Synopsis Willingness to Seek Professional Mental Health Service in Asian Americans by : Hyunwoo Yoon
Download or read book Willingness to Seek Professional Mental Health Service in Asian Americans written by Hyunwoo Yoon and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discrepancy between mental health needs and service use has been particularly pronounced in Asian Americans. Given the negative consequences of untreated mental health problems, ways to promote their mental health service use deserve attention. Using Andersen’s behavioral model as a conceptual framework, the study explored factors associated with willingness to seek professional mental health service across ethnic-subgroups of Asian Americans. The data were drawn from the 2002 National Latino and Asian American Study. Asian Americans aged 18 over (total n=2,095) were included in the analyses with Chinese (n=600), Vietnamese (n=520), Filipino (n=508), and other Asians (n=467). Logistic regression models were conducted with sets of predictors: (1) predisposing (age, gender, marital status, education, and nativity), (2) mental health needs (diagnosis of psychiatric disorders), (3) enabling variables (health insurance, English proficiency, perceived stigma, social network, and prior exposure of mental health services), and (4) an interaction term between mental health needs and enabling variables. Mental health needs reduced the odds of having willingness to seek service in the sample of Chinese Americans. Vietnamese Americans with no perceived stigma were more likely to be willing to seek professional service. A significant interaction between mental health needs and social network was found in the Vietnamese sample. The linkage between the presence of mental health needs and willingness to seek service in the Vietnamese sample was less likely when they had higher level of social network. Findings highlight similarities and differences between and within subgroups of Asian Americans in the predictors of willingness to seek professional service. The insignificant or negative relationship between mental health needs and willingness may suggest the lack of recognition of mental health problems in Asian Americans. Social network is generally considered as a facilitator for help-seeking behavior, but the combined effect of the presence of mental health needs and higher level of social network may potentially impede Vietnamese Americans from seeking professional service. The distinctive culture of Asian Americans being a collectivistic group needs to be incorporated when developing intervention programs
