The current exploratory qualitative study describes how environmental factors, social interactions, personal experiences, and stigma affect mental health and help-seeking. In-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine university faculty members who self-identified as having mental illness-related concerns. Using Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems framework and thematic analysis, four domains were determined: (1) macrosystem (i.e., influences of academic culture); (2) mesosystem (i.e., influences of faculty leadership and interpersonal dynamics); (3) microsystem (i.e., influences of individual mental health experiences); and (4) exosystem (i.e., influences of stigma across structural, interpersonal, and intrapersonal levels). These domains included barriers to and facilitators of mental health and help-seeking. Findings suggest that competitiveness and individualism may perpetuate stereotypes that mental illnesses are inherent weaknesses, and that seeking help is a barrier to academic success. Recommendations for future research are provided. [(11), 17-25.].
本探索性定性研究描述了环境因素、社会互动、个人经历和污名如何影响心理健康和寻求帮助。对 9 名自我认同与精神疾病相关问题的大学教职员工进行了深入的半结构化访谈。使用 Bronfenbrenner 的生态系统框架和主题分析，确定了四个领域：（1）宏系统（即学术文化的影响）；（2）中系统（即教职员工领导和人际动态的影响）；（3）微系统（即个人心理健康经历的影响）；和（4）外系统（即结构、人际和个体层面的污名的影响）。这些领域包括心理健康和寻求帮助的障碍和促进因素。研究结果表明，竞争和个人主义可能会使精神疾病是固有弱点的刻板印象永久化，而寻求帮助是学术成功的障碍。为未来的研究提供了建议。[(11)，17-25.]。
