Since the 1940s, the importance of addressing polio survivors' psychological issues along with their physical needs has been known. The clinical literature and polio survivors' narratives indicate positive responses to both psychotherapy and psychologically informed medical care for issues connected with acute polio and rehabilitation experiences as well as post-polio syndrome. Yet, barriers in the form of stigma and lack of awareness and resources prevent most from accessing such care. This article addresses the provision of polio-informed psychological treatment as well as ways of creating a culture that supports mental health within medical settings.
自 20 世纪 40 年代以来，人们已经认识到解决脊灰幸存者心理问题与身体需求同样重要。临床文献和脊灰幸存者的叙述表明，心理治疗和心理知情的医疗护理对与急性脊灰和康复经历以及后脊灰综合征相关的问题都有积极的反应。然而，污名化、缺乏认识和资源的障碍使大多数人无法获得这种护理。本文探讨了提供脊灰知情的心理治疗以及在医疗环境中创造支持心理健康文化的方法。
