Beliefs about Psychological Services among Guatemalan College Students
Figueroa, Chantal; Zheng, Yi; Adams, Joshua
Journal of Multicultural Counseling and Development, v48 n1 p44-57 Jan 2020
This mixed-methods study identified the help-seeking attitudes of Guatemalan college students. A random sample of 248 students across 2 universities responded to a cultural adaptation of the Beliefs About Psychological Services (BAPS; AEgisdóttir & Gerstein, 2009) survey. The directors of both universities and a subsample of participants were also interviewed. Quantitative findings demonstrated low levels of stigma and positive help-seeking attitudes among students. Qualitative findings indicated that psychological services were limited, financially out of reach, or failed to address students' gender-specific concerns. Recommendations to address these challenges are presented.
