Abstract
CONTEXT/BACKGROUND: Mental health is a neglected area in health care in Ghana. With few clinicians and trained researchers in the field, research has been limited both in quantity and quality.
METHOD
A search of the available literature revealed 98 articles published between 1955 and 2009. Sixty-six are reviewed in this paper.
RESULTS
Topics covered included hospital and community-based prevalence studies, psychosis, depression, substance misuse, self-harm, and help-seeking. Much of the research was small in scale and thus largely speculative in its conclusions. Epidemiological data is scarce and unreliable and no large-scale studies have been published. There are very few studies of clinical practice in mental health.
CONCLUSIONS
The existing literature suggests several important areas for future research to inform the development of targeted and effective interventions in mental health care in Ghana.
摘要
背景/情境：在加纳的医疗保健领域，心理健康是一个被忽视的领域。由于该领域的临床医生和训练有素的研究人员很少，研究在数量和质量上都受到限制。
方法
对现有文献进行检索后发现，1955年至2009年间发表了98篇文章。本文对其中66篇进行了综述。
结果
所涵盖的主题包括基于医院和社区的患病率研究、精神病、抑郁症、药物滥用、自我伤害以及寻求帮助。大部分研究规模较小，因此其结论在很大程度上具有推测性。流行病学数据稀缺且不可靠，尚未发表大规模研究。心理健康临床实践的研究非常少。
结论
现有文献表明了几个未来研究的重要领域，可为加纳心理健康护理中针对性强且有效的干预措施的制定提供参考。
