Social-psychological factors affecting help-seeking for emotional problems

Interest in a short psychological intervention in patients with psoriasis: a cross-sectional observational study at a German clinic

“…In this context, however, it is interesting to note that less stressed PS-patients were more interested in participation in a short psychological intervention than more stressed PS-patients. This is in contradiction with studies showing that emotionally burdened individuals usually use more clinical help (31,32). However, in our study, these results might be explained by the fact that people who are busy participating in other programs during their stay at the rehabilitation clinic do not want to additionally take part in a psychological intervention that after all included 8 sessions of about 45 min plus homework (22).…”

Migrant mental health: A model for indicators of mental health and health care consumption.

“…Independent of their health condition, women, elderly persons, and single individuals are more likely to use professional health care. These results are in line with earlier findings among indigenous Dutch and American migrant populations (Neighbors & Howard, 1987; Rickwood & Braithwaite, 1994; Vázquez-Barquero et al, 1990; Verhaak, 1995). Migrants with more Dutch practical skills, such as language skills and knowledge of the health care system, are more likely to use professional help.…”

Seeking professional help for mental health problems, among New Zealand secondary school students

“…Despite a strong association between having mental health problems and help seeking, over 80% of students experiencing significant mental health problems had not sought help from a GP for their problem. This is in line with previous studies, which have consistently found that very few children and adolescents with mental health problems get the help they need (Angold, et al, 1998; Costello et al, 1993; Dubow, et al, 1990; Rickwood & Braithewaite, 1994; Saunders, et al, 1994; Schonert-Reichl & Muller, 1996; Verhulst & Van der Ende, 1997; Whitaker et al, 1990; Wu, et al, 1999; Wu, et al, 2001; Zwaanswijk, et al, 2003). The rate of adolescent help seeking in this large nationally representative study of New Zealand secondary school students is slightly higher than that found in a large Australian study by Sawyer and colleagues (Sawyer et al, 2001), in which they found that 13.3% of children had visited a family doctor to get help for their mental health problems.…”
