BACKGROUND
The Maslow's hierarchy of needs (Maslow's pyramid) and the Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) pyramid are integral frameworks in humanitarian settings whose aim is to address individual and community needs. However, confusion often arises among non-governmental organization (NGO) workers about the application and differentiation of these models.
AIM
This study aims to investigate the extent of confusion among NGO workers in Iraq as regards the Maslow's and MHPSS pyramids, identify the causes of this confusion, and explore its implications in the context of humanitarian mental health support.
METHODS
A pilot descriptive study was conducted in December 2023 through an online survey involving 61 local NGO workers from MHPSS components in Iraq. We created a measure to assess the participants' familiarity with both models, their perceived differences, and their views on the models' applicability in humanitarian contexts.
RESULTS
Male participants represented 55.7% (34) of the sample, while females accounted for 44.3% (27). Most participants were aged 25-34 (57%, 35) and 35-44 (34%, 21). A majority held bachelor's degrees (67.2%, 41), with 21.3% (13) holding master's degrees. In terms of occupation, 49.2% (30) were engaged in the protection sector (gender-based violence and child protection), followed by health (19.7%, 12), education (4.9%, 3), and MHPSS staff roles in other sectors (26.2%, 16). The study revealed that 54.1% (33) of the participants struggled to understand or differentiate between Maslow's and MHPSS pyramids. The causes of this confusion were related to perceived structural similarities (18.03%, 11), lack of awareness and knowledge about the MHPSS pyramid (63.93%, 39), and a combination of both (18.03%, 11).
CONCLUSION
The study underscores the importance of better training and education for NGO workers to improve their understanding of the Maslow's and MHPSS pyramids. Addressing this knowledge gap can increase efficacy in humanitarian aid provision, ensuring that individual and community needs are adequately met in crisis situations.
背景
马斯洛需求层次理论（马斯洛金字塔）和心理健康与社会心理支持（MHPSS）金字塔是人道主义环境中的重要框架，其目的是满足个人和社区的需求。然而，非政府组织（NGO）工作人员在这些模型的应用和区分方面常常感到困惑。
目的
本研究旨在调查伊拉克非政府组织工作人员在马斯洛金字塔和MHPSS金字塔方面的困惑程度，确定造成这种困惑的原因，并探讨其在人道主义心理健康支持背景下的影响。
方法
2023年12月通过在线调查开展了一项试点描述性研究，涉及伊拉克MHPSS部门的61名当地非政府组织工作人员。我们创建了一项措施，以评估参与者对这两种模型的熟悉程度、他们感知到的差异，以及他们对这些模型在人道主义背景下适用性的看法。
结果
男性参与者占样本的55.7%（34人），女性占44.3%（27人）。大多数参与者年龄在25至34岁之间（57%，35人）和35至44岁之间（34%，21人）。大多数人拥有学士学位（67.2%，41人），21.3%（13人）拥有硕士学位。在职业方面，49.2%（30人）从事保护部门工作（基于性别的暴力和儿童保护），其次是卫生部门（19.7%，12人）、教育部门（4.9%，3人）以及其他部门的MHPSS工作人员（26.2%，16人）。研究表明，54.1%（33人）的参与者难以理解或区分马斯洛金字塔和MHPSS金字塔。造成这种困惑的原因与感知到的结构相似性（18.03%，11人）、对MHPSS金字塔缺乏认识和了解（63.93%，39人）以及两者兼而有之（18.03%，11人）有关。
结论
该研究强调了对非政府组织工作人员进行更好的培训和教育的重要性，以提高他们对马斯洛金字塔和MHPSS金字塔的理解。解决这一知识差距可以提高人道主义援助的效率，确保在危机情况下个人和社区的需求得到充分满足。
