Evidence supports the contribution of various stigma-related constructs to help-seeking. These constructs have yet to be tested in a single model among college students, a group highly affected by mental illness.
Using data from 153 college students, this study examines factors contributing to help seeking for mental illness.
Using path analysis, the current study evaluated a model of the relationship between level of familiarity, personal stigma, desired social distance, label avoidance, attitudes towards treatment seeking and intentions to seek treatment.
Findings support a model of help-seeking describing the relationship between familiarity with mental illness, personal stigma, social distance, label avoidance, attitudes and intentions to seek treatment.
Findings suggest label avoidance, attitudes towards treatment seeking and intentions to seek treatment might be augmented through interventions aimed at increasing college students' levels of familiarity, or intimate contact, with individuals with mental illness. Additional implications for practice and further research are addressed.
有证据支持各种与污名相关的因素对寻求帮助行为的影响。这些因素尚未在受精神疾病影响严重的大学生群体中，通过单一模型进行检验。
本研究利用153名大学生的数据，考察影响寻求精神疾病帮助行为的因素。
采用路径分析，本研究评估了一个关于熟悉程度、个人污名、期望的社会距离、避免标签化、对寻求治疗的态度以及寻求治疗意图之间关系的模型。
研究结果支持了一个关于寻求帮助行为的模型，该模型描述了对精神疾病的熟悉程度、个人污名、社会距离、避免标签化、态度以及寻求治疗意图之间的关系。
研究结果表明，针对增加大学生与患有精神疾病个体的熟悉程度或密切接触的干预措施，可能会增强他们避免标签化、对寻求治疗的态度以及寻求治疗的意图。文中还讨论了对实践和进一步研究的其他启示。
