Liptember 基金会的年度妇女心理健康研究报告提供了有关澳大利亚妇女心理健康的重要见解
Nielsen Pacific MD speaks with The Liptember Foundation’s Head of Strategy & Operations, Katrina Locandro about the positive impact of data on womens’ health
Sydney – 15 July, 2024 – Liptember Foundation’s annual Women’s Mental Health Research 报告 has revealed that the most common mental health issues facing Australian women, regardless of age, are depression (46%), anxiety and generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) (41%), followed by body image issues (29%).
尼尔森定制研究公司开展的这项广泛研究还发现，25% 的澳大利亚妇女可能患有严重的精神障碍，这与利普腾贝尔基金会前两年的研究结果不谋而合。
It also highlights a major gap in how employers are seen to be supporting womens’ mental health in the workplace, with 80% saying, “…there’s more employers can do”.
同时，只有 45% 的职业女性表示她们了解雇主提供的心理健康服务。
In addition, the research shows that while 54% of women say they’re currently living with mental health issues, only half of them are seeking professional help – largely due to barriers such as financial constraints, fear of social judgement, and a lack of awareness regarding available resources.
调查还显示，71% 的女性认为对心理健康问题的认识还不够深刻，而与求助相关的污名化现象也一直存在，这就凸显了加强相关教育的必要性。
其他重要发现包括
- 更多的严重失调患者可能在 39 岁以下
与其他年龄组相比，50-59 岁年龄组受抑郁（50%）和心理困扰（20%）的影响最大。
- 信心不足、经济压力和缺乏社会认同是重要的触发因素
各年龄段的身体形象问题明显减少（目前为 29%），而 2022 年为 38%。社会期望、不切实际的理想等方面的数据也出现了定向下降
- 身体形象和媒体压力
CEO and Founder of Liptember, Luke Morris said: “Of remarkable note, there is a major gap in how employers are supporting womens’ mental health in the workplace. 80% feel there’s more employers can do, and only 45% of employers are known to offer mental health services. There has been a persistent blind spot when it comes to women’s mental health and the lack of research, programs, and support focused on women’s mental health is something we’re committed to improving.”
Nielsen Pacific Managing Director, Monique Perry, added: “Nielsen is proud to have worked with the Liptember Foundation over the last three years to deliver custom research with potentially life-changing impact. This year’s report highlights a need for greater awareness, education, and resources for all women, regardless of their life stage.
虽然数据和洞察力可能会揭示令人不快的真相，但它们提供了以知情方式采取行动的机会，确保资源用在刀刃上，做出有意义的改变，并提高所有澳大利亚妇女的生活质量。
