Résumé : |
Background and rationale: The incidence of perinatal mental illness may be higher in ethnic minority women (Watson et al 201 9) yet women from ethnic minority groups are less likely to be asked about their mental wellbeing (Redshaw & Henderson 2016). The consequences of perinatal mental illness may be catastrophic. Current evidence suggests that there is a clear disparity in the utilisation of perinatal mental health services between ethnic groups (Jankovic et al 2020). This is of serious concern and warrants appropriate investigation. The perspectives of ethnic minority women on the barriers to engaging with perinatal mental health services have the potential to underpin effective policy making, future strategic actions and delivery of services.
Literature review findings: This literature review has identified a number of barriers contributing to the underutilisation of perinatal mental health services among ethnic minority women. These include fear of stigmatisation, inadequate mental health literacy and variation in the conceptualisation of symptoms. In addition, there is a complex interplay of cultural and contextual factors. Nonetheless, these barriers may be mitigated through effective policy making and appropriate interventions, that aims to improve outcomes for ethnic minority women. Recommendations for practice: Unconscious bias training, with a strong anti-stigma component may be pivotal in diminishing feelings of stigmatisation among ethnic minority women. Furthermore, the availability of community support groups may also improve engagement with perinatal mental health services. In addition, an appropriate cultural competency assessment tool may need to be developed to assess the cultural competency of the midwifery workforce. |
