Study Notes
Overview of Studies on Overseas Filipinos
- Research highlights differences in financial capacity, immigration status, language proficiency, and adherence to cultural values between local and overseas Filipinos.
- Significant barriers identified include mental health stigma and self-reliance, affecting help-seeking behaviors.
Key Facilitators in Help-Seeking
-
Systemic and Economic Facilitators
- Financial capacity is crucial for access to mental health services, with higher socio-economic status linked to better help-seeking.
- Immigration and residency status affect willingness to seek help, with US-born Filipino Americans showing different behaviors than later-generation immigrants.
- Accessibility of services, including technological access and familiarity with healthcare, facilitates help-seeking.
-
Socio-Cultural Facilitators
- Language proficiency, particularly bilingualism, improves access and willingness to engage with mental health services.
- Lower adherence to traditional Asian values allows for greater acculturation and acceptance of mental health care.
- Increased spirituality is noted as a factor that may encourage seeking help.
-
Psycho-Social Facilitators
- Awareness of mental health needs correlates with higher rates of help-seeking, especially among those experiencing significant distress.
- Social support, including encouragement from friends and family, plays a vital role in facilitating help-seeking behaviors.
- Self-stigma tolerance varies, impacting the likelihood of seeking help; concerns about social judgment can deter individuals.
Methodological Insights
- Majority of studies utilized cross-sectional designs with quantitative approaches; mixed methods were also employed for depth.
- Studies reported diverse participant characteristics, creating a challenge in uniformity for data analysis and interpretation.
- Key methodological issues include varied definitions of "formal help-seeking," which complicates consistency across studies.
Participation and Sample Characteristics
- A total of 5096 Filipinos aged 17–70 were included in the studies, with a mean age of approximately 39.52 years.
- Sample sizes ranged from as few as 10 to as many as 2285 participants in quantitative research.
Help-Seeking Rates and Barriers
- Local Filipinos exhibit formal psychological help-seeking rates between 2.2% and 17.5%, while overseas rates are lower.
- Common barriers to help-seeking cited:
- Financial constraints due to costs, lack of insurance, and precarious employment.
- Self-stigma, encompassing fears of being judged, embarrassment, and loss of face.
- Social stigma impacting the family's reputation and cultural perceptions.
Conclusion
- There is a low utilization of mental health services among Filipinos both locally and overseas.
- Addressing mental health stigma, promoting resilience, and enhancing social support are essential for improving help-seeking behavior among Filipinos.
- Differences between local and overseas contexts suggest a need for tailored approaches to mental health outreach and support.
