亚洲移民对精神卫生服务的利用不足一直是那些试图为精神疾病患者提供无障碍护理的人所关注的问题。本文调查了韩国移民抑郁症求助行为，以了解他们对心理卫生服务的利用不足。本研究以纽约市的70名韩裔移民为研究对象，进行了6次焦点小组讨论和24次深度访谈。家庭内的长期护理和传统的亚洲做法导致寻求心理健康服务的延迟，使许多患有抑郁症的韩国移民无法进入分娩系统。正规服务提供者和精神病服务提供者之间缺乏联系也造成治疗延误。这项研究表明，需要一个全面的护理模式的基础上，社区教育，精神卫生保健与其他服务，文化经纪，作为连接人口的需求与精神卫生服务提供的方式。
Underutilization of mental health services by Asian immigrants has been an ongoing concern for those attempting to provide accessible care for people suffering from mental illness. The author investigated Korean immigrants' help-seeking behaviors for depression to understand their underutilization of mental health services. The study involved 6 focus group discussions and 24 in-depth interviews with 70 Korean immigrants in New York City. Prolonged care within family and traditional Asian practices led to a delay in seeking mental health services, keeping many Korean immigrants with depression out of the delivery system. The lack of interface between formal service providers and psychiatric service providers also caused delayed treatment. This study suggests the need for a comprehensive care model based on community education, linking mental health care with other services, and cultural brokering, as ways to connect population needs with mental health service delivery.
