Awareness of the need for culturally adapted mental health interventions is growing. The authors describe the cultural adaptation of an evidence-based practice (EBP), illness management and recovery (IMR), to the Arab population in Israel. The process included reviewing the literature on cultural adaptations of EBPs and interviewing Arab and IMR professionals, which helped inform modifications that reflected the norms of Arab society in Israel related to family, religion, and beliefs about mental health. The process yielded a culturally adapted IMR intervention, which was translated into Arabic and used to train Arab practitioners on implementation with Arab clients in Israel.
人们越来越意识到需要进行文化适应性的心理健康干预。作者描述了一种循证实践（EBP），即疾病管理和康复（IMR），在以色列阿拉伯人群中的文化适应性。该过程包括审查关于 EBP 的文化适应性的文献，并采访阿拉伯人和 IMR 专业人员，这有助于告知修改，以反映与家庭、宗教和对心理健康的信仰有关的以色列阿拉伯社会的规范。该过程产生了一种文化适应性的 IMR 干预措施，该措施被翻译成阿拉伯语，并用于培训以色列的阿拉伯从业者，以与阿拉伯客户一起实施。
