“…Traditional medicine is built on the beliefs, values and norms which are traditional or peculiar to specific communities (WHO, 2013). Faith-based healing, through, for example, Christian or Muslim religions, also plays an important part in the alternative healing sector (Chowdhury, 2016;Crawford & Lipsedge, 2004). TAM methods are therefore influenced by their understanding of illness or disability and their effects.…”

“…Researchers should follow rules concerning use of consent forms and how it might vary according to the target population being studied, the setting or cultural context where the study taking place (Alahmad et al, 2012;Carrier et al, 2017;Chowdhury, 2016;Corcoran, 2016;Mittal, Dean, Mittal, & Saks, 2015;Pires Marques, 2017;Sharma et al, 2013;Shen et al, 2017;Vaz & Srinivasan, 2014). Literature noted different components for consent forms, however they all point to the one important piece of "providing enough and detailed information in order to get the consent".…”

“…To this, researchers should provide detailed information about study of interest, its aims and that information gathered is for the purpose of research and will not lead to any risks or threats. Emotional risks because of stigma can be dealt with by being well-trained in field of RCR and clinical studies, and paying full attentions to the ethical principles and cultural concerns encountered when conducting research studies in this field (Chowdhury, 2016;Mittal et al, 2015).…”

Stigma towards mental illness is a widespread phenomenon not just in the developing world, but also in developed countries. Unfortunately, this stigma is not only restricted to the general population, but is also prevalent among professional health care providers. Research from developing countries is scarce. Thus, the aim of this paper was to explore health care providers’ attitudes toward mental illness stigma in the primary health care settings. The review sheds light on the ethical implications of mental health stigma as perceived by primary health care providers, and the proposed recommendations for responsible conduct of research and policy initiative in the context of mental health research. Utilizing CINAHL, Medline and Scopus electronic data bases, results are reported for the 41 studies that are grouped according to being from USA, Europe, Australia, Africa, and Asia and Arab World. The results from this review confirmed that stigma associated with mental illness have many ethical implications in the context of research including use of consent form, fair treatment, and good respect for individual rights concerning treatment choices. To counter stigma and prevent the ethical implications of such stigma, interventions in the form of awareness and training programs would be the best way to minimize and stop it. Further, govermnetal and political are needed to initiate a national code of ethics for mental health research in their respective coutries.

“…Integration of mental health into PHC has been done by various countries and in different forms [21][22][23][24] including training PHC workers to identify mental health problems, assessing for mental illnesses during medical standard of care, PHC providers/community health workers and health care managers working together to address mental health related illnesses, and availing psychotropic medications to PHC centers [25]. In addition, researchers have documented information about barriers and facilitators to the integration process [26][27][28].…”

Barriers and facilitators to the integration of mental health services into primary health care: a systematic review protocol

Background: Mental health is an integral part of health and well-being and yet health systems have not adequately responded to the burden of mental disorders. Integrating mental health services into primary health care (PHC) is the most viable way of closing the treatment gap and ensuring that people get the mental health care they need. PHC was formally adapted by the World Health Organization (WHO), and they have since invested enormous amounts of resources across the globe to ensure that integration of mental health services into PHC works. Methods: This review will use the SPIDER (Sample, Phenomenon of Interest, Design, Evaluation, Research type) framework approach to identify experiences of mental health integration into PHC; the findings will be reported using the "Best fit" framework synthesis. PubMed, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled trials (CENTRAL) will be searched including other sources like the WHO website and OpenGrey database. Assessment of bias and quality will be done at study level using two separate tools to check for the quality of evidence presented. Data synthesis will take on two synergistic approaches (qualitative and quantitative studies). Synthesizing evidence from countries across the globe will provide useful insights into the experiences of integrating mental health services into PHC and how the barriers and challenges have been handled. The findings will be useful to a wide array of stakeholders involved in the implementation of the mental health integration into PHC. Discussion: The SPIDER framework has been chosen for this review because of its suitable application to qualitative and mixed methods research and will be used as a guide when selecting articles for inclusion. Data extracted will be synthesized using the "Best fit" framework because it has been used before and proved its suitability in producing new conceptual models for explaining decision-making and possible behaviors. Synthesizing evidence from countries across the globe will provide useful insights into the experiences of integrating mental health services into PHC and how the barriers and challenges have been handled.
