BACKGROUND
Men's health help-seeking behaviours vary considerably depending on the context. The current empirical literature on the influence of masculinity on college men's attitudes towards mental health-related help-seeking is largely limited to investigations involving psychology students.
AIM
To describe the connections between masculinities and college men's depression-related help-seeking.
METHODS
Qualitative interviews with 21 college men who were diagnosed or self-identified as depressed. Constant comparison was used to inductively derive gendered understandings about participants' depression-related help-seeking.
RESULTS
Three themes were identified: (1) denying weakness; (2) limiting self-disclosure and mustering autonomy; and (3) redefining strength.
CONCLUSION
The findings demonstrate connections between masculinities and help-seeking that can assist health care providers to understand the practices of college men who experience depression.
背景
男性的健康求助行为因情境不同而有很大差异。目前关于男子气概对大学生心理健康相关求助态度影响的实证文献主要局限于针对心理学专业学生的调查。
目的
描述男子气概与大学生抑郁症相关求助之间的联系。
方法
对21名被诊断或自我认定为患有抑郁症的大学生进行定性访谈。采用持续比较法归纳得出关于参与者抑郁症相关求助的性别化理解。
结果
确定了三个主题：（1）否认软弱；（2）限制自我表露并鼓起自主性；（3）重新定义力量。
结论
研究结果表明了男子气概与求助之间的联系，这有助于医疗保健提供者理解患有抑郁症的大学生的行为。
