  • Refugee Healthcare in British Columbia: Health Status and Barriers for Gorvernment Asssised Refugees in Accessing Healthcare
    REFUGEE HEALTHCARE IN BRITISH COLUMBIA: HEALTH STATUS AND BARRIERS FOR GORVERNMENT ASSSISED REFUGEES IN ACCESSING HEALTHCARE by SETAREH ROUHANI B.HSc., University of Ottawa, 2009 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Health Care and Epidemiology) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) October 2011 © Setareh Rouhani, 2011 Abstract Background: Government-Assisted Refugees (GARs) have greater health needs than other immigrants due to their pre-migration and Canadian resettlement experiences. There is a lack of detailed research into their health status and access to healthcare services. This thesis investigated factors associated with reported health, mental health problems, number of annual physician visits and difficulties obtaining healthcare from a sample of GARs. Methods: Secondary data analysis was conducted on data from a study of GARs in BC who attended the Bridge Refugee Clinic during the 26 month period from April 2005 to May 2007. Multivariate logistic regression was used to model the factors associated with excellent health, mental health problems, physician visits and difficulties obtaining healthcare. Results: There were 177 participants in the study. Excellent health was inversely associated with being female, having financial burden, having no English proficiency and having a diagnosed health condition. Factors associated with mental health problems were being female, west Asian, and having financial burden. Attending refugee clinics was inversely associated with reporting mental health problems. Factors associated with physician visits were unemployment, while not having English proficiency and no access to a regular doctor were inversely associated with the number of visits.

  • The Differing Attitudes Towards Mental Health in the United States and South Korea
    Running head: MENTAL HEALTH IN THE U.S. AND SOUTH KOREA 1 The Differing Attitudes Towards Mental Health in the United States and South Korea Submitted by Rachel Burnett Psychology To The Honors College Oakland University In partial fulfillment of the requirement to graduate from The Honors College Mentor: Dr. Chiaoning Su Department of Communication, Journalism, and Public Relations December 6, 2019 MENTAL HEALTH IN THE U.S. AND SOUTH KOREA 2 Abstract This thesis project explored the differing attitudes towards mental health in Eastern and Western countries, with a narrowed-down focus on the United States and South Korea. This thesis aimed to find out if there is a significant cultural difference between attitudes about mental health in the U.S. and South Korea by examining several different forms of media, such as books, television shows, and movies. The benefits of this project include providing a more in-depth understanding of cultural differences in mental health, and will help mental health professionals as well as others to understand these differences and accommodate for them in their practices and daily lives. MENTAL HEALTH IN THE U.S. AND SOUTH KOREA 3 Introduction There are many ways in which the societal attitudes towards mental health in South Korea and the United States differ from one another. This thesis aims to examine current research, various forms of media, and several mental illnesses to obtain a better idea of not only what these differing attitudes are, but also why these attitudes exist. By examining these differences through research, media, and other methods, a clearer picture of these differences will be revealed, and may be able to be accounted for in future research and mental health practices.

  • A CHW Model for Migrant Health in the Context of South Korea*
    아태연구 제27권 제2호 (2020) https://doi.org/10.18107/japs.2020.27.2.004 A CHW Model for Migrant Health in the Context of South Korea* Christian Joon Park** │Contents│ Ⅰ. Introduction Ⅲ. A CHW Model for Migrant Ⅱ. The Current Status of Migrant Health in South Korea Health in South Korea Ⅳ. Conclusion │Abstract│ In the midst of a global pandemic due to the outbreak of Coronavirus Disease-19, what became clear is that a government’s response to a global pandemic must include migrant health, especially the undocumented migrants. Even before the global pandemic, there was a recognition that the world entered an era when more people are on the move than ever before and these migrants continue to be overlooked in many countries where access to health care often remains limited and conditional. In addition, there are various misperceptions about migrants around the world such as a claim that migrants place a heavy financial burden on the host society and the state’s health system. Misperceptions like these not only can have a negative effect on migrant’s health but also have a dire consequence during the timeof global pandemic which we are currently in right now. A consensus was made that excluding migrants from a rights-based approach to health is a blatantly poor public health practice and is, in general, a violation of migrants’ rights. * This work was supported by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Korea and the National Research Foundation of Korea(NRF-2016S1A5B6914089). ** Associate Professor, Dept. of Cultural Anthropology, Hanyang University ERICA. 110 아태연구 제27권 제2호 (2020) Based on informal participant observations, surveys conducted by the research team, forums and discussions with migrant health support groups namely WeFriends, visiting various free migrant health clinics such as Ansan Vincent’s Clinic, and literature review, this paper examines the current status and issues of migrant health in South Korea and considers how the Community Health Worker (CHW) model of the US can be applied in the South Korean context.
