“…To compensate for the scarcity of mental health care that exists in rural areas, some authors have recommended extending the supply of mental health care to non-healthcare professionals, like religious staff, schoolteachers, police, and/or government officials (Heyman and VandenBos 1989). Non-physician health care providers-like nurses, clinical psychologists, and Bachelor-level case managers-could assume some of the responsibilities of psychiatrists (National Association for Rural Mental Health 2006).…”

This study examines the variations in the use of inpatient care that can be explained by travel distance among patients with schizophrenia living in Taiwan. Data were drawn from the Psychiatric Inpatient Medical Claims Database. We used mediation analysis and multilevel analysis to identify associations. Travel distance did not significantly account for lower readmission rates after an index admission, but significantly explained the longer length of stay of an index admission by 9.3 days (P < 0.001, 85% of variation) between remote and non-remote regions. Policies are discussed aimed at reducing the impact of travel distance on rural mental health care through inter-disciplinary collaboration and telepsychiatry.

“…Protestant and Catholic churches are found in almost every county in the United States (Bradley, Green, Jones, Lynn, & McNeil, 1990). Yet in this sample of 44 articles, only 1 article was found that addressed the role of clergy in rural mental health care (Heyman & VandenBos, 1989).…”

Given the frontline role of community clergy in mental health care, this study examined how collaboration with clergy was viewed by mental health and other health professionals outside of the religious community. Searches of health care journals on Medline and PsyclNFO yielded 44 articles from nonreligious journals from 1980 through 1999 that specifically addressed collaboration between clergy and mental health professionals. Seven themes were identified through content analysis, including the benefits of collaboration to each profession, the need to increase the clergy's knowledge about mental heath, and the importance of referrals. Discussion about interdisciplinary referrals significantly increased over time, r, (1, N = 44) = .31, p < .05).lergy in our society function as frontline mental health workers.

“…What is more, the problem of inadequate health care in rural areas appears to be worsening (DeLeon et al, 1989). As a consequence, the federal government has become concerned about the health care needs of rural families (Clarke, 1990; Edelman & Menz, 1996; Folger, 1990; Heyman & VandenBos, 1989; Kuchler, 1990; Tevis, 1988). Nevertheless, rural areas continue to experience a shortage of primary health care providers, inadequate health care, and few social support services (Clarke, 1990; DeLeon et al, 1989; Folger, 1990; Hemard, Monroe, Atkinson, & Blalock, 1998; Kuchler, 1990; Leiyu, 1992; Whitener, 1995).…”

The present study examines the ways in which satisfaction with health care may be associated with the lives of rural women. One hundred thirty one rural women between the ages of 45 and 70 years completed measures of community esteem, life satisfaction, satisfaction with health care, health status, and mood. The results showed that rural women's satisfaction with their health care was associated with the extent to which they hold their community in esteem and their degree of life satisfaction. Moreover, women who had poor health were less satisfied with the available health care than were healthier women. These findings are discussed in terms of their implications for the well-being of rural communities in general. ) have highlighted the significance of community building for a fully functioning society. In doing so, they argue that communities have the potential to solve many social ills. A connected community provides the foundation for the prevention of violent crime, juvenile delinquency, child maltreatment, unemployment, dilapidation of place and property, as well as for the promotion of civility, safety, cooperation, interaction and mutual problem solving, and restoration.
