摘要

中國的現代精神醫學是隨著殖民時代到來而主要由西方傳教士引入的。但一直到1949年以後,精神衛生服務在中國才真正規範化、科學化和系統化,服務資源不斷增加、服務能力和質量不斷提高。但是,與大衆日益增長的精神健康需求相比,中國的精神衛生服務在法律和保障政策、基層和社區服務網路建設、服務模式轉變等方面仍存在明顯的不足。隨著國家醫療改革和精神衛生立法的推進,精神衛生服務在公平、可級、高效、權益保障等方面將有機會迎來新的發展。

 
Abstract 
Mental Health Care in China
The modern psychiatry in China is mainly introduced by Western missionary physicians during the colonial era. But not until 1949, the mental health service really to be organized in standardized and scientific way in China. Since then there have been significant increase in service resources, capacity and quality. However, compared with the growing mental health needs, there are significant deficiencies in legal and financial policy, primary care and community based service network, and service model transformation. As the progress of national health care reform and mental health legislation, the nation is facing a new opportunity to develop mental health care in different dimensions such as equity, accessibility, effectiveness, and patients rights protection.

摘要

根據浙江省 (Shi, Q.C., Zhang, J.M., & Xu, F.Z., 2005)和河北省(Li, K.Q., Cui, Z., & Cui, L.J., 2007)最近的流行病學調查結果推算,中國大陸15歲以上精神疾病的總患病率約15%;根據更早的七省市流調結果(Zhang, W.X., Shen, Y.C., & Li, S.R., 1998)推算,大陸有重性精神疾病患者1600萬人,受到情緒障礙和行為問題困擾的17歲以下兒童和青少年約3000萬人。因此各類精神疾病至少在一億人以上,而且整體上治療率較低(Phillips, M.R., Zhang, J.X., & Shi, Q.C., 2009)。從精神衞生服務資源上看,每萬人口擁有精神科住院床位1.43張,每10萬人口擁有精神科醫師1.26人,精神科護士2.40人。可見,中國大陸精神衞生服務需求與服務資源不足的矛盾非常突出。

摘要

中國精神科專業人員對「康復進程」的態度

目的: *「康復進程」 乃全球精神科服務的重大方向。世界各地均以此為其精神科服務改革的政策。此研究旨在探討「康復進程」在中國人精神科服務體系的可行性及調查中國精神科專業人員對「康復進程」的態度。

方法 一群青山醫院中國籍的專業人員包括精神科醫生、護士、職員治療師、心理學家、及社工填寫了問卷,以探討他們對「康復進程」的態度。

結果: 共二佰零六位專業人員填寫了問卷。概括而言,他們對「康復進程」的態度正面,接受度亦高。多於九成的專業人員認為對自身精神病的認識及抱有希望的態度可促進「康復進程」。另外,大約七成同意嚴重精神病患者亦可擁有「康復進程」。

總結: 中國精神科專業人員對「康復進程」的態度正面。他們對「康復進程」的推行已有了心理上的預備。

*「康復進程」乃青山醫院精神科專業人員透過病人及職員的聚焦小組對“Recovery”的中文詮譯。强調「康復進程」是一個個人化的過程,精神病患者在過程中不但學會好好管理自己的精神健康,同時也是一個追求進的過程,無論疾病所造成的限制是否存在,都可以超越疾病,過著滿足、有希望、又有貢獻的生活。

Abstract
Aim: To evaluate the treatment effectiveness of the district-based Kwai Tsing (KT) Personalised Care Programme (PCP) for patients with severe mental illness (SMI)
Methodology: The first approach is a 12-month KT PCP Pre-post outcome comparison in the service utilization profile and clinical-psycho-social profile of 102 recruited subjects and their carers using computerised data from a territory-wide retrospective decision support system and multiple locally validated assessment tools. The second approach is a 12-month controlled outcome comparison of KT PCP versus Sham Shui Po district (SSP) Standard Community Care (SCC) in the service utilization profile.

Result: KT PCP showed statistically significant favourable outcomes in both pre-post comparison and controlled outcome comparison in total in-patient episodes, total length of hospital stay and total Accident Emergency Department attendances for psychiatric problems. Pre-post outcome comparison also demonstrated statistically significant reduction of symptoms, reduction of total HoNOS score, improvement of social and occupational functioning, reduction of unmet needs and reduction of overall carers’ burden.

Conclusion: District-based PCP appeared to be a successful service model in Hong Kong to enhance the recovery and social inclusion of patients with SMI in the community.

A Study of Acculturation and Psychological Well-Being of New Immigrant Women from Mainland China

City University of Hong Kong

Abstract
This study explored the acculturation and coping process of new immigrant women migrated to Hong Kong from Mainland China. Findings of studies conducted in pluralistic or multicultural societies have consistently shown that integration is the strategy that could bring about the most favourable adjustment outcome of immigrants, while marginalization the most unfavourable, with separation and assimilation in between. However, it is argued that when the dominant group is expecting immigrants to assimilate, such as in the case of Hong Kong, immigrants adopting an integration strategy may face with more stress since the larger society is less tolerant of cultural diversity; instead, adopting an assimilation strategy may result in the most adaptive adjustment and better psychological well-being, since they can gain entrance to the larger society and avoid the pressure demanding them to abandon their native culture. It was hypothesized that among the four modes of acculturation, the order in terms of adaptive adjustment in descending order should then be: assimilation, integration, marginalization, and separation.
A correlation study was used to test the various hypotheses. Respondents were 410 new immigrant married women from Mainland China, who had been residing in Hong Kong for less than twenty-four months. Data were collected through individual interviews with the use of a set of structured questionnaire. Two instruments on measuring stress of acculturation and level of acculturation were specially developed for this study.
As predicted, the assimilated respondents were found to have the lowest level of stress of acculturation and the highest level of psychological well-being, whereas the separated group had the highest level of stress of acculturation and the lowest level of psychological well-being. The integrated and marginalized groups were having intermediate levels of stress and well-being.

 

摘要

從中國大陸遷移到香港的新移民婦女涵化的過程

此項研究探討了從中國大陸遷移到香港的新移民婦女涵化的過程。過去在多元文化社會中進行的研究,結果通常標示出採取共融 (integration) 策略的新移民一般適應得最好,採取邊緣化 (marginalization) 的策略則最為不利,而採取分離 (separation) 或同化 (assimilation) 策略,其適應結果則在兩者之間。不過,當整體社會要求新移民同化,例如在香港,採取共融策略的新移民可能面臨更大的壓力,因為主體社會並不接納多元文化;相反,採取同化策略可能會帶來較好的心理健康,因為此舉有助減輕要求他們放棄原有文化的壓力,令他們有較大機會融入主流社會。基於這假設,按以上四種不同的涵化模式,推斷其適應結果順序應為: 同化、 融合、 邊緣化與分離。此研究採用了相關性分析的方法來測試這假設,被訪者為410位來自中國大陸的已婚新移民婦女。研究採取個人訪談方式,並透過一組結構化的問卷進行資料收集。問卷設計中包括了兩個專門為這項研究開發的量表,分別量度被訪者所面對的涵化壓力和涵化策略。如所料,研究結果顯示採取同化策略的被訪者面對的涵化壓力最低,心理健康則最好,而採取分離策略的被訪者涵化壓力最高,心理健康則最差。

How do Chinese Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy Trainees View Their Own Therapy Competence and the Cultural Compatibility of this Therapy for Chinese Clients with Depression in Hong Kong?

City University of Hong Kong

Abstract
Background: There is growing need and demand for the application of and training for cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) in different cultures.  While there are increasing evidences to suggest that CBT is applicable to people of different culture backgrounds, such as the Chinese in Hong Kong, there is a lack of a documentation concerning the training of CBT practitioners of different cultural backgrounds.  Aim: This article aimed to document the subjective experience of 20 trainees who undertook our one-and-a-half-year cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) training programme.  Method: In-depth interviews were carried out with all of the trainees, and these interviews were transcribed and coded.  Results: Content analysis of the transcripts suggests that the trainees had gained an understanding of the CBT framework and felt competent in facilitating clients’ acquisition of adaptive cognitive and behavioural responses.  They were less confident in facilitating the modification of rigid dysfunctional rules and values.  Many of the trainees mentioned the culturally attuned CBT exercises and worksheets as being useful in helping clients to acquire cognitive and behavioural strategies to handle their distress and depressive moods.  With regard to the modes of training, the trainees were particularly appreciative of the live demonstration and coaching.  Lastly, these trainees considered CBT to be culturally compatible with Chinese values and with Chinese people’s preference for certain styles of therapy practice.  Conclusions: The findings are useful as a reference for developing CBT training for practitioners of Chinese-speaking backgrounds.

 

摘要

認知行為療法的華人受訓者如何看待自身的治療能力感和使用該療法治療香港抑鬱症患者時的文化兼容性

研究背景:認知行為治療(CBT)發展至今,眾多的證據顯示認知行為治療適用於不同文化背景的群體,例如將治療方法應用於香港華人。與此相關的認知行為治療培訓的需要亦與日俱增。然而,目前缺乏一些有關此類訓練的相關資料。
研究目的:分析20名接受為期一年半的認知行為治療(CBT)課程訓練的學員(專業人仕)的主觀經驗。
研究方法:所有學員皆接受深入訪談,並將訪談內容轉錄和編碼。
研究結果:訪談內容的分析顯示,學員掌握到認知行為治療的理論架構,並有信心協助個案掌握正面的認知及行為適應策略;但部份學員郤希望有更多的時間用於演練一些重塑不良思想規條及價值觀的技巧。另外,許多學員均表示認知行為治療練習和工作紙能有效地讓個案掌握一些認知及行為的策略,舒緩個案內心的苦惱及抑鬱情緒。就訓練模式而論,學員十分欣賞現場示範和指導的部份。最後,學員們認同認知行為治療能融合於中國文化價值觀,且是華人合宜的一種治療模式。
總結:研究結果為培訓華語背景的認知行為治療工作員提供一份重要的參考文件。
