將心理健康服務納入基層醫療的新舉措
New initiative to integrate mental health services into primary care
一項開創性的全球醫療保健倡議,目前正致力於將心理健康服務直接整合到基層醫療體系中。
A groundbreaking global healthcare initiative is currently working to integrate mental health services directly into primary care settings.
基於「沒有心理健康就沒有健康」的原則,這種「全人」模式旨在彌補現今顯著的治療缺口。
Recognizing the principle that there is no health without mental health, this "whole-person" approach seeks to close the significant treatment gap that exists today.
目前,高達70%有心理健康問題的人會先向其基層醫療提供者求助。
Currently, up to 70% of people with mental health concerns first seek help through their primary care provider.
醫療體系透過將心理與生理健康視為互相關聯而非分離的個體,旨在改善患者的治療效果並減少污名化。
By treating mental and physical health as interconnected rather than separate, healthcare systems aim to improve patient outcomes and reduce stigma.
有幾種模式有助於這種轉變,例如「協作護理模式」,醫生與專家共同分享患者登記資料;以及「同址辦公」,由治療師直接在診所內工作。
Several models facilitate this shift, such as the Collaborative Care Model, where doctors and specialists share patient registries, and co-location, where therapists work within clinics.
儘管存在這些困難,世界衛生組織仍透過「心理健康缺口行動規劃」(mhGAP)等計畫引領這項變革。
Despite these barriers, the World Health Organization is leading the charge with programs like the Mental Health Gap Action Programme (mhGAP).
隨著英國與德國等國家進行政策改革,遠距醫療與人工智慧的興起也正在協助彌補這一缺口,確保心理健康支援變得與生理照護一樣容易取得。
As countries like the U.K. and Germany reform their policies, the rise of telehealth and AI is also helping to bridge the gap, ensuring that mental health support becomes as accessible as physical care.
