The aim of this study was to explore what professionals working in a child and adolescent mental health service (CAMHS) thought of provision of mental health services to diverse groups and what their training needs might be. Semi-structured interviews were undertaken and audiotaped with 17 CAMHS professionals. The tapes were transcribed and the data analysed using thematic analysis. The findings show no discernible pattern between different professional groups within the sample, although this is limited by the sample size and is perhaps not surprising given the common professional context. Just over half the participants perceived cultural diversity as equating with ethnic diversity. Staff thought diversity influenced service provision through access; communication; perceptions that different communities hold about mental health; perceptions that different communities hold about mental health services; and service factors. Staff were not clear about their own training needs and identified that training to date had not been entirely satisfactory. Staff openness may present an ideal opportunity to start dialogues with staff and community groups about how best services can be provided for an increasing diverse population of children and families.
本研究的目的是探讨在儿童和青少年心理健康服务（CAMHS）领域工作的专业人员对为不同群体提供心理健康服务的看法，以及他们可能的培训需求。对17名CAMHS专业人员进行了半结构化访谈并录音。对录音进行了转录，并使用主题分析法对数据进行了分析。研究结果表明，样本中的不同专业群体之间没有明显的模式，尽管这受到样本量的限制，而且鉴于共同的专业背景，这也许并不令人惊讶。略多于一半的参与者认为文化多样性等同于种族多样性。工作人员认为多样性通过以下方面影响服务提供：获取途径；沟通；不同社区对心理健康的看法；不同社区对心理健康服务的看法；以及服务因素。工作人员不清楚自己的培训需求，并指出迄今为止的培训并不完全令人满意。工作人员的开放态度可能为与工作人员和社区团体就如何为日益多样化的儿童和家庭群体提供最佳服务展开对话提供了一个理想的机会。
