The literature review aimed to identify the barriers the Punjabi and/or Sikh community have in accessing support for alcohol addiction.
A systematic review of the literature was undertaken of four scholarly databases, Google Scholar and grey literature on UK-based research conducted after 1980 into alcohol addiction in the Punjabi and/or Sikh community. Fourteen papers met the inclusion criteria outlined in the paper and were included in the review.
Ten main barriers to accessing support were found; stigma, religion, lack of understanding of addiction, over reliance on a medical model of treatment and disregard of therapy, cultural implications of being a member of the Punjabi and/or Sikh community and the addiction community, gender and generational differences and a lack of government commitment to alcohol support for BME communities with a lack of culturally specific services.
Despite the many barriers explored, the role of stigma remained a powerful theme throughout often underpinning other barriers. A key recommendation across many papers was the need for culturally sensitive support services. Several areas for future research were identified.
本文献综述旨在确定在寻求酒精成瘾支持方面,旁遮普和/或锡克社区所面临的障碍。
对四个学术数据库、Google Scholar 和英国自 1980 年以来开展的针对旁遮普和/或锡克社区酒精成瘾问题的基于文献的灰色文献进行了系统的文献回顾。共有 14 篇论文符合论文中概述的纳入标准,并被纳入综述。
发现了 10 个寻求支持的主要障碍,包括耻辱感、宗教、对成瘾的缺乏理解、过度依赖医学治疗模式和对治疗的忽视、作为旁遮普和/或锡克社区成员的文化影响以及成瘾社区、性别和代际差异以及政府对少数族裔社区的酒精支持缺乏承诺,缺乏文化特定服务。
尽管探索了许多障碍,但耻辱感仍然是贯穿始终的一个强有力主题,往往是其他障碍的基础。许多论文都提出了需要提供文化敏感的支持服务的建议。确定了未来研究的几个领域。
