The underutilization of MH resources presents a challenge to colleges and universities.This study is aimed at assessing the perceptions and the barriers of international Chinese graduate students that prevent them from accessing professional MH services at UC. The goal of this study is to create a toolkit that addresses cultural sensitivity to help these students easily conduct self-directed MH care at an early stage. This study uses qualitative research methods to allow participants to extensively express their experiences and perceptions of professional MH services. About 10 in-depth interviews were conducted with graduate Chinese international students at UC, that included but not limited to the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning (DAAP) students.Three significant barriers preventing Chinese graduate students from accessing MH services are lack of mental health resources, concerns of privacy protection, and language interpretation. Additionally, limited knowledge of self-directed care, lack regular treatment time due to busy academic schedules and a shortage of culturally appropriate services pose further difficulties. 2019-07-11 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin156199649507075 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin156199649507075 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
