Download or read book Factors Influencing the Access and Utilization of Mental Health Services in the Latino Community written by Liliana Madriz and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the contributing factors to the underutilization of the mental health services among the Latino population in the Sacramento region. A non-probability purposive sample (n =33) of subjects with a Latino background were administered an online survey on their perspectives regarding Familismo, alternative healing practices, religion, acculturation, social economic status, and experiences of discrimination. The study findings indicate that the acculturation levels of the participants, their perception of stigma related to mental illness, and patterns of help seeking from family and friends influence the degree and/or hesitation in utilizing mental health services. Results indicated a significant positive correlation between perceived public stigma and personal stigma, r (31) =.496, p =.003 among the respondents. The results from an independent sample t-test to compare General Help-Seeking Questionnaire (GHSQ) scores in the participants born in the United States and participants born outside the United States yielded a mean difference of 2.2272 between the two groups with no statistical significance. This and other findings suggest that while there is some difference in the pattern of help seeking behavior between the first and second generation immigrants the experience of other barriers is similar between the two groups in the areas of language difficulties and experiences of discrimination. Shared ethnic background emerged as a factor with 51.2% of the participants in the study indicating that they would likely seek mental health services and with 33% responding that it is extremely likely that they would seek services if the provider was Latino. It is recommended that both interventions and education at the micro and macro level specifically on programs and services planned in collaboration with the Latino community for integrating the cultural identity and health perceptions of the community members in developing culturally competent mental health services, need to be addressed. Additionally, improving access to the mental health care provided by bilingual professionals, trained interpreters, and innovative health fairs or mobile clinics are required to reduce the vulnerabilities associated with seeking help from entities and professionals outside the family.

Book Synopsis The Mental Health of Latinos/as in the United States by : Alham F. Rodriguez
Download or read book The Mental Health of Latinos/as in the United States written by Alham F. Rodriguez and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous reports on the state of the Latino/a-focused mental health literature suggest that the quantity of Latino/a-focused articles within the mental health field continued to be disproportionate to the growing percentage of Latino/as in the United States (Liang, Salcedo, Rivera, & Lopez, 2009). As such, Latino/a mental health experiences, needs, and issues are likely to continue to be underrepresented and misunderstood. Additional examination of factors and variables related to Latino/a’s mental health is warranted in order to contribute to a greater understanding and development of further treatment options for this population. The Latino/a youth/adolescent (13- 17 years old) subpopulation represents a clear example of the need for additional examination within the Latino population. Santisteban and Mena (2009) reported that the Latino/a youth might be susceptible to several mental health indicators that require urgent attention, such as disproportionately higher rates of drug use, higher depressive symptoms, higher suicide ideations, and an evident shortage of evidenced-based treatments that incorporate culturally sensitive information about Latino/a youth. Through two studies, this dissertation seeks to (a) systemically analyze the Latino-focused mental health literature published between 2006 and 2015 by identifying trends and gaps in the literature and (b) examine the associations between a selection of multisystemic variables and Caucasian practitioner’s perceived therapeutic working alliance with an adolescent Latino/a client. The first study analyzed the Latino/a-focused literature in the counseling and mental health fields using Bronfenbrenner’s (1979) Ecological Systems Theory. This study provided a holistic and systemic analysis of the variables utilized in published mental health related Latino/a-focused research between 2006 and 2015. Findings in this study indicate a number of gaps that prevent the formation of a holistic and systemic understanding of the mental health needs of this population. For example, results in this study indicated that microsystemic variables were the most frequently included variables among the studies in the review; whereas, exosystemic and mesosystemic variables represented the least frequently studied variables among Latino/a-focused research. The second study was intended to build upon findings in Study 1, a critique review of the literature. This study examined the multisystemic factors associated with Californian Caucasian practitioners’ (N = 82) perceived therapeutic alliance with Latino/a adolescents. To our knowledge, no previous study had utilized the ecological theory of Bronfenbrenner (1979) to examine the associations between systemic factors and the practitioners’ perceived therapeutic working alliance with their adolescent Latino/a client. The question guiding this study was: To what extent do (a) therapist’s years of experience working with the Latino population, (b) therapist cross-cultural counseling competence, (c) therapist/client gender matching, (d) client generational status, (e) therapist’s interaction with the client’s family, and (f) therapist’s receiving of consultation or supervision about the work with the client predict the therapist-perceived TWA with the client? Results based on standard multiple linear regression indicated that practitioner-client parent interaction and practitioner’s self-perceived cross-cultural counseling competency were significant predictors of therapists’ perceived working alliance with their Latino/a youth client. These two predictors explained 25.3% of the variance in the therapist-perceived therapeutic working alliance. Results further indicated that therapist’s year of experience working with the Latino population, therapist/client gender matching, client’s generational status, and therapist’s receiving of consultation or supervision for the case did not statistically significantly predict therapists’ working alliance with a Latino/a youth client. Overall, findings from both studies highlight the utility of using a multisystemic framework to investigate therapeutic processes. These findings suggest that distal and multisystemic factors are related and predictive of the therapeutic process involving Latino/a youth. Findings in these studies bear relevance for researchers, practitioners, and counselor educators particularly in relation to cross-cultural counseling competence and family involvement in counseling Latino/a youth.
Book Synopsis Cultural Considerations in Latino American Mental Health by : Harvette Grey

This book was released on 2015-05-29 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In America's increasingly diverse society, it is imperative that mental health providers prioritize the development of their cultural competence to assure that they are equipped to meet the needs of their clients. Cultural Considerations in Latino American Mental Health offers a broad array of perspectives from clinicians and researchers actively working with racially and ethnically diverse populations. This book addresses psychosocial cultural issues that impact the mental health of the growing Latino American population. Topics discussed include relevant socio-demographic variables for Latinos and the implications of the steadily increasing Latino population in the United States; cultural values, acculturation, and acculturative stress in the lives of Latino adolescents; culturally responsive intervention of depression in Latino adolescents; depression across the lifespan; and cultural factors in the development of substance abuse issues in the Latino adolescent population. This book is a must-read for mental health clinicians, students, community workers, school counselors, and nurses who work with diverse populations.
Book Synopsis Cultural Foundations and Interventions in Latino/a Mental Health by : Hector Y. Adames

This book was released on 2016-07-07 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advancing work to effectively study, understand, and serve the fastest growing U.S. ethnic minority population, this volume explicitly emphasizes the racial and ethnic diversity within this heterogeneous cultural group. The focus is on the complex historical roots of contemporary Latino/as, their diversity in skin-color and physiognomy, racial identity, ethnic identity, gender differences, immigration patterns, and acculturation. The work highlights how the complexities inherent in the diverse Latino/a experience, as specified throughout the topics covered in this volume, become critical elements of culturally responsive and racially conscious mental health treatment approaches. By addressing the complexities, within-group differences, and racially heterogeneity characteristic of U.S. Latino/as, this volume makes a significant contribution to the literature related to mental health treatments and interventions.

Book Synopsis Creating Infrastructures for Latino Mental Health by : Lydia P. Buki
Download or read book Creating Infrastructures for Latino Mental Health written by Lydia P. Buki and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-09-08 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latinos are the fastest growing and largest minority group in the United States. In 2008, this group numbered over 47 million; by 2050, the population is expected to triple, reaching 133 million. Traditionally, Latinos have immigrated to large urban centers (e.g., New York, Los Angeles) that over long periods of time developed a complex infrastructure to receive new immigrants. Increasingly, new Spanish-speaking immigrants are moving into areas of the country previously unfamiliar to them. Although urban co-ethnic communities continue to be the destination of many newcomers, immigrants from Mexico, Central America, and South America in pursuit of low-skilled labor opportunities are settling in small towns and rural areas of the South and Midwest. This new demographic trend has resulted in the creation of the term "new growth communities," which refers to small rural areas that are now home to a small but rapidly growing Hispanic population. Unfortunately, these communities, which are now present in many states across the country (e.g., Illinois, North Carolina), lack the infrastructure necessary to meet the needs of Latino immigrants (e.g., access to health care, immigration assistance, and breaking down language barriers). The lack of an infrastructure and the lack of an established ethnic community to facilitate the assimilation of new immigrants present an ongoing challenge, especially in the area of Latino mental health. The volume focuses on dealing with systemic issues and on providing innovative ideas for development of infrastructure of services. This text will advance ways to understand and ameliorate mental health disparities both from research and experiential perspectives.
Book Synopsis Enhancing Behavioral Health in Latino Populations by : Lorraine T. Benuto

Book Synopsis Perception of Mental Health and Treatment of Low Income Latinas by : Ana Nunez
Download or read book Perception of Mental Health and Treatment of Low Income Latinas written by Ana Nunez and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latinos are the largest minority in the United States. Yet research indicates mental health services are often underutilized by Latinos despite similar prevalence rates of mental disorders as compared to the general population. Ethnic women especially appeared to be underserved. As a result, this qualitative study used ethnography to examine the perception of mental health and treatment of 30 low income Latinas in an effort to provide recommendations to develop more culturally competent services and increase treatment use. Results suggest that the perception of mental health of less acculturated Latinas was incongruent with reported symptoms. Specific stressors were reported to impact mental health and a fourth of Latinas in this study expressed somatic symptoms related to psychological distress. Language, symptom recognition, availability of resources such as childcare, evening hours, the belief in self-reliance, knowledge of mental health and psychotropic treatment, and expectations of treatment contributed to either facilitate or impede treatment use. In addition, medical doctors and the school system were found to be gatekeepers to treatment.
Book Synopsis Parental Attitudes Toward Help-Seeking Behaviors for Mental Health in the Hispanic Community by : Beatriz Rodriguez
Download or read book Parental Attitudes Toward Help-Seeking Behaviors for Mental Health in the Hispanic Community written by Beatriz Rodriguez and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hispanic families may experience numerous barriers to physical and mental health care and tend to underutilize mental health services (Haack et al., 2018; Umpierre et al., 2015). English proficiency and cultural factors related to perceptions of mental health may impact the likelihood of Hispanic families seeking professional help for child mental health concerns (Alvarado & Modesto-Lowe, 2017; Eiraldi et al., 2006). The present study examined parental attitudes towards seeking professional help for child mental health concerns as well as possible differences in help-seeking for child mental (i.e., ADHD and depression) and physical health (i.e., stomach flu) concerns. Fifty-one Hispanic immigrant parents (40 mothers, 11 fathers; Mage = 35.62 years, SD= 8.19) completed measures to assess parental attitudes toward psychological help-seeking, likelihood to seek help for child physical and mental health concerns from formal and informal sources, and their level of familyism, religiosity, and acculturation. Participants indicated a higher likelihood to seek help from informal sources than from formal sources for both child mental and physical health conditions. Additionally, participants were more likely to seek help for a child's physical health condition than for mental health concerns. These results speak of the need to examine the process of help-seeking for Hispanic parents regarding mental health concerns in their children as well as the influence of other factors in their help-seeking process, including acculturation, familyism, and religiosity. Understanding these relationships can guide clinicians in identifying and problem-solving treatment barriers.

Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Acculturation and Health by : Seth J. Schwartz
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Acculturation and Health written by Seth J. Schwartz and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-10 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Acculturation and Health expertly brings together two very distinct, but complementary, streams of work and thought: theoretical and methodological work on acculturation, and the applied work linking acculturation to various health outcomes among international migrants and their families. In this important volume, the work of landmark acculturation theorists and methodologists come together to showcase applied epidemiologic and intervention work on the issues facing acculturation and public health today. Edited by Seth J. Schwartz and Jennifer B. Unger, this Handbook is divided into two important parts for readers. Part one features chapters that are dedicated to theoretical and methodological work on acculturation, including definitional issues, measurement issues, and procedures for studying acculturation across immigrant groups and national contexts. The second part focuses on the links between acculturation and various health outcomes, such as obesity, physical activity, drug and alcohol abuse, mental health, delinquency, and suicide. Notably, because a majority of the research on acculturation and health has been conducted on Hispanic immigration, this volume contextualizes that research and offers readers compelling insight for how to apply these principles to other immigrant groups in the United States and around the world.
