Theory-Practice integration of social work education in China

Theory-practice integration is vital in social work education. This study examines China's social work education system, focusing on challenges and solutions in theory-practice integration. Data from 90 participants (faculty, administrators, and students) across 7 schools in different regions were gathered via focus groups and individual interviews. Challenges include faculty lacking social work training and practice experience, limited teaching …
Social work students’ professional socialisation in China
Ethical mental health practice in diverse cultures and races
Drawing from Beauchamp and Childress’s four ethical principles as an overarching framework, integrating them with the NASW’s code of ethics, we examine their intersection with cultural diversity and antiracism, and its implications for mental health practice. We argue that self-determination in collective cultures may involve inclusivity beyond individual clients. Beneficence is culturally defined and evidence-based practices proven effective for…
The Counterintuitive Relationship between Telomerase Activity and Childhood Emotional Abuse
Emotional abuse was significantly positively associated with telomerase activity. There are at least two non-mutually exclusive explanations for the findings. Simply put, either (1) in the cultural context of Hong Kong emotional abuse was not a risk factor, and/or (2) the conceptualization of telomerase activity as a straightforward indicator of longevity is overly simplistic. The first story we might term a "resilience explanation" while the sec…
Unmet Mental Health Care Needs among Asian Americans 10–11 Years After Exposure to the World Trade Center Attack
This study investigated the prevalence of unmet mental health care needs (UMHCN) and their associated factors among 2344 Asian Americans directly exposed to the World Trade Center (WTC) attack 10-11 years afterwards. Given the pervasive underutilization of mental health services among Asians, their subjective evaluation of unmet needs could provide more nuanced information on disparities of service. We used the WTC Health Registry data and found …
Mental Health Service Use among Asian Americans Five to Six Years after Exposure to the World Trade Center Attack
This study uses World Trade Center Health Registry data, based on Andersen’s health-care model, to investigate 2,557 Asians’ mental health service use and associated factors 5–6 years after the World Trade Center attack, compared against 32,111 non-Hispanic white participants. We find that Asians had a lower proportion of service use (15.76 vs. 26.60 percent) than white people. A previous mental health diagnosis and perceived and evaluated mental…
Factors Related to the Probable PTSD after the 9/11 World Trade Center Attack among Asian Americans
Posttraumatic stress disorder in the short and medium term following the World Trade Center attack among Asian Americans
This study investigated patterns of probable posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and their predictors among 2,431 Asian American and 31,455 non‐Hispanic White World Trade Center (WTC) Registry participants 2–3 years and 5–6 years after the WTC attack. Participants were divided into four PTSD pattern groups: resilient, remitted, delayed onset, and chronic. Asians had a lower proportion in the resilient group (76.5% vs. 79.8%), a higher proportion…
Tangible Needs and External Stressors Faced by Chinese American Families with a Member Having Schizophrenia
This article examines the tangible needs and external stressors experienced by Chinese American families with a member living with schizophrenia, in the context of a six-month pilot study of family psychoeducation. Therapists' notes from 117 family and group sessions were analyzed. The families expressed concerns regarding housing, finance, work, study, and the shortage of bilingual psychosocial services. Interacting with government offices and s…
Western model, Eastern context
English Family intervention for patients with schizophrenia in China is discussed in a sociocultural context. Caregivers face additional burdens due to the centrality of the family and impoverished mental health services. Suggestions to improve treatment include strengthening working alliances between professionals and caregivers and addressing needs at different stages of the illness. French L'intervention de famille auprès des patients ayant la…
Causal Attributions of Schizophrenia by Chinese American Caregivers
Causal attributions of schizophrenia by 30 Chinese American caregivers in the Los Angeles area are investigated. Stress-related and biological explanations are most highly endorsed. Interpersonal and familial stress attributions reflect the sociocentric culture and centrality of family. A better match in causal attributions is key to improving interactions between mental health service providers and Chinese American patients and their caregivers.…
Cultural and practical barriers to seeking mental health treatment for Chinese Americans
Based on a sample of 1747 from the Chinese American Psychiatric Epidemiological Study, this report examined perceived barriers to mental health treatment. Two factors emerged, namely practical barriers , which included cost of treatment, time, knowledge of access, and language, and cultural barriers consisting of credibility of treatment, recognition of need, and fear of loss of face. Average ratings of all practical barrier items were higher tha…
Chinese Americans’ Help Seeking for Emotional Distress
This study examines help‐seeking behaviors for emotional distress among 1,747 Chinese Americans. Seventy‐five percent of respondents did not seek any help, but among those who did, informal help was most solicited, followed by alternative help. Only 15 percent of individuals with a mental disorder sought mental health services. Sociodemographics, acculturation, and personality traits significantly predict help seeking. Acculturation increases gen…
Family intervention for Asian Americans with a schizophrenic patient in the family
A family intervention model designed to meet the unique sociocultural needs of Asian-American schizophrenia patients and their families is proposed. This five-stage model consists of: preparation, engagement, psychoeducational (i.e., survivor skills) workshop, family sessions, and an ending stage. Guidelines and specific suggestions for implementing each of these stages are offered as a means of dealing effectively With Asian Americans' different…
