Abstract
Chapter 1 is a systematic review and thematic synthesis of ten identified research studies, exploring South Asian children and young people’s experiences of accessing mental health services from the perspectives of the service users, family, and professionals in the United Kingdom. Five analytical themes emerged including: (i) perceptions of self-reliance, family, and community support, (ii) lack of awareness, (iii) importance of quality relationships, (iv) perceived stigma & shame and (v) lack of cultural competence. These can be understood as part of the overarching theme of power. Recommendations are made for services to implement more equality in power dynamics and shame-sensitive practice to align with a trauma-informed approach, whilst being culture-sensitive.
Chapter 2 is a qualitative research study exploring eight South Asian women’s trauma experiences and the impact on identities and resilience. Grounded theory analysis resulted in the emergence of seven concepts: (i) cultural/societal influences, (ii) human rights violations and loss, (iii) factors affecting trauma, (iv) impact of trauma, (v) factors affecting resilience, (vi) process of self-negotiation and (vii) portrayal/perception of identities. Recommendations are made for services to deliver a trauma-informed, culture-informed and gender-sensitive model of care, acknowledging the role of religion and cultural/societal influences.
Chapter 3 is a reflective paper, focusing on the researchers’ positionality on three different levels: personal, professional, and political, and reflects on how this impacted the research process. Given the importance of power as highlighted in previous chapters, this is discussed in relation to the role as a researcher.
