ABSTRACT

Minimal attention has been placed on supporting the mental health needs of youth with disabilities. Due to a dearth of research on best practices in mental health communication with youth with disabilities, the aim of the scoping review was to identify existing peer-reviewed evidence regarding mental health communication for the general youth population in clinical settings. Three electronic databases were searched. Inclusion criteria were: 1) published in English between 2009 and 2019; 2) children and youth and/or their parents/caregivers; 3) addressed communication-based mental health practices; 4) based in pediatric health care settings. Seven articles were included. Promoting autonomy and engagement, building collaboration and trust, and supplementing conversations with alternative communication approaches were identified as important for having mental health conversations. While implications can be drawn, more work is needed for clinicians to have a rigorous evidence base to draw upon when having these conversations with youth with disabilities.

摘要

很少关注支持残疾青年的心理健康需求。由于缺乏与残疾青年进行心理健康交流的最佳实践的研究，范围审查的目的是确定现有的关于临床环境中一般青年群体心理健康交流的同行评议证据。检索了三个电子数据库。纳入标准为：1）2009 年至 2019 年间以英文发表；2) 儿童和青少年和/或其父母/照顾者；3) 解决基于沟通的心理健康实践；4) 基于儿科医疗保健机构。包括七篇文章。促进自主和参与，建立协作和信任，并用替代沟通方法补充对话被认为对于进行心理健康对话很重要。虽然可以得出影响，但临床医生需要做更多的工作才能在与残疾青年进行这些对话时拥有严格的证据基础。
