Can mental health work across borders? The cross-cultural aspects of mental health interventions

我是Zsofia Szlamka，心理学家和研究员，我正在申请ESRC博士后奖学金。作为一名研究员，我的目标是在马丁·纳普教授的指导下，在伦敦政治经济学院(LSE)进行研究，该学院的总部设在关怀政策和评估中心(CPEC)。作为一名ESRC博士后，我的目标是巩固我作为一名研究人员的记录。我想继续进行研究，研究如何在不同的国家和文化中提供精神健康支持。此外，我想通过最大化研究的社会影响来做到这一点：创造知识，并尽可能多地接触到社区成员。此外，我建议在博士学位之外收集更多的数据。我计划探索文化和环境如何影响心理健康支持在工作场所等组织环境中的作用。最后，在这次奖学金期间和以后，我的目标是成为一名独立研究员，使用所谓的“参与性研究”：让社区成员作为关键参与者和决策者参与研究过程的每一步。我计划通过一系列奖学金活动来实现这些目标。首先，我想利用我的时间来完成我已经开始的学术论文，基于我的博士学位的数据。我目前有四篇这样的论文在准备中。第二，我想重点加强和扩大我的研究网络。在伦敦经济学院，我想了解护理政策和评估中心现有研究小组的工作。此外，我计划对澳大利亚墨尔本的Orygen Global进行为期一个月的访问。自2019年成为他们全球心理健康研究人员社区的青年研究顾问以来，我一直隶属于Orygen。这次访问的目的将是分享我的博士学位的成果，并讨论我们如何就即将到来的精神健康研究拨款进行合作。接下来，我希望就文化和环境如何影响工作场所等组织环境中的心理健康支持进行进一步的研究。最后，我的目标是制定一个详细的研究方案，并申请资助机会。这将使我能够在ESRC奖学金之后进行独立研究。总之，在奖学金结束之前，我想：提交所有四篇手稿，为出版做准备。完成两个关于阿根廷精神健康的照顾者研讨会。收集关于工作中精神健康的文化组成部分的数据，并根据结果准备一份手稿。了解伦敦政治经济学院的研究网络，并访问Orygen。制定详细的研究建议，并提交给进一步的研究和资助机会。

I am Zsofia Szlamka, psychologist, and researcher and I am applying for the ESRC Postdoctoral Fellowship. As a Fellow I would aim to conduct research at The London School of Economics and Political Science, based at the Care Policy and Evaluation Centre (CPEC), under the mentorship of Professor Martin Knapp. As an ESRC Postdoctoral Fellow I aim to consolidate my track record as a researcher. I would like to keep conducting research on how we can make mental health support available in different countries and cultures. Moreover, I would like to do so by maximising the social impact of research: creating knowledge and reaching as many community members as possible. Further, I propose to collect additional data beyond my PhD. I plan to explore how culture and context may influence how mental health support works in an organisational setting such as the workplace. Lastly, during this Fellowship and beyond, I aim to become an independent researcher using what is called "participatory research": involving community members in every step of the research process as key actors and decision-makers.I plan to achieve these goals through a range of Fellowship activities. First, I would like to use my time to finish writing the academic papers I have started, based on data from my PhD. I currently have four such papers in preparation. Second, I would like to focus on strengthening and expanding my research network. At the London School of Economic I would like to get to know the work of existing research groups at the Care Policy and Evaluation Centre. Further, I aim to do a one-month visit to Orygen Global in Melbourne, Australia. I have been affiliated to Orygen since 2019 when I became a youth research advisor to their global community of mental health researchers. The aim of this visit would be to share the results of my PhD, and discuss ways in which we could collaborate on upcoming research grants in mental health. Next, I hope to conduct additional research on how culture and context may influence mental health support in organisational settings such as the workplace. Lastly, I aim to develop a detailed research proposal and apply for funding opportunities. This would allow me to conduct independent research following the ESRC Fellowship. In summary, by the end of the Fellowship I would like to:Submit all four manuscripts in preparation for publication.Complete two caregiver workshops on mental health in Argentina.Collect data on the cultural components of mental health at work and prepare a manuscript based on the results.Get to know the research network at LSE and conduct a visit to Orygen.Develop a detailed research proposal and submit it for further Fellowship and grant opportunities.
