This is also the first event of the "CPPCC Jun Ten People Talk Series Salon" in . 10 experts, scholars and industry elites, including academician Lu Lin , have made suggestions and suggestions for improving the professionalization of mental health services for social governance through online and offline speeches and seminars.
my country's social and mental health service system still has shortcomings
"A mature and perfect social and psychological service system is very important for the long-term stability of a country and the happiness and well-being of the people." Lu Lin, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the president of the Sixth Hospital of Peking University, gave a keynote speech through video links. He pointed out straight to the point that it is very important to strengthen the construction of the social and psychological service system and is a basic work that concerns the happiness of 1.4 billion people in my country.
Director of the Guangdong Institute of Mental Health , Director of the Guangdong Mental Health Center , and President of the Mental Health Branch of the China National Health Association, introduced that at the end of 2016, the former National Health and Family Planning Commission and 22 other departments jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on Strengthening Mental Health Services", which is the first macro-guiding opinion in my country to strengthen mental health services. In 2017, the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed that "we must strengthen the construction of the social psychological service system and cultivate a social mentality of self-esteem, self-confidence, rationality, peace, and positiveness", and regard the construction of the social psychological service system as one of the "four major systems" of social governance. In November 2018, the National Health Commission, the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission, the Central Propaganda Department and other 10 departments jointly issued the " National Social Psychological Service System Construction Pilot Work Plan ". In November 2021, the National Health Commission issued a message: By the end of 2021, the pilot work of social psychological services covering all provinces in my country will officially end. The next step will be to promote the pilot experience to other cities and carry out the construction of a social psychological service system across the country. It can be seen that 2022 has become the first year for the national construction and promotion of social psychological services.
"At present, the progress of the pilot city is still very good, but while achieving achievements, there are still some shortcomings." The experts and scholars at the meeting focused on the following issues that need to be solved urgently.
●One of the shortcomings, lack of mental health service professionals.
"Our country lacks psychiatrists, psychotherapists, and psychological counselors. The number of mental health service professionals is far lower than the world average." Lu Lin said that my country has a population of 1.4 billion. According to the standards of World Health Organization , nearly 20% of people may have serious or minor psychological problems, but there are very few professionals who provide mental health services to these 20% of the population.
Jia Fujun also mentioned that after three years of pilot work, 80% of the grassroots communities in pilot cities have established psychological counseling rooms, but there are serious shortages of professional staff.
Member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and dean of the School of General Medicine and Continuing Education of Capital Medical University From the perspective of establishing a community psychological service system, the elderly have depression and anxiety due to age, diseases, etc., which affects the quality of life of the elderly. At the same time, , my country has seriously insufficient spiritual comfort services for the elderly, and the mental loneliness problem of rural elderly people is particularly prominent.
"The COVID-19 epidemic has brought great challenges and uncertainties to all mankind, including the increase in the number of people suffering from mental illnesses and mental health problems." Lu Lin said that these people need professionals to provide them with mental health services, and hope that the country can pay enough attention to this.
●The second is the shortcoming, the lack of professional medical institutions.
"Due to the lack of rigid requirements, medical institutions are generally not motivated to establish psychological departments." Lu Lin and Jia Fujun both mentioned that most domestic Triple A hospitals mainly focus on patients' physical diseases and do not pay enough attention to mental health. Many comprehensive hospitals do not even have psychiatric and psychological departments . "But this department is very important. It is recommended that comprehensive hospitals at level 3 or above have set up psychiatric and psychological departments, and professionals can help patients solve psychological problems." Lu Lin said.
Wu Hao suggested that a psychological department should be established in , Community Health Service Center , and professional doctors should be arranged to promote the discovery, treatment and rehabilitation of physical and mental diseases among community residents. Strengthen the training of community medical staff, especially general practitioners , to achieve early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment of common mental disorders and psychological behavior problems. Explore the establishment of a regular home visit mechanism, focusing on providing psychological counseling, spiritual comfort and other services to empty nests, elderly people, and elderly people who have lost their own lives.
●The third one is the shortcoming board, the lack of a leading unit.
Whether it is the lack of a professional talent team or the lack of specialized psychological service institutions, it is related to the fact that the government's management mechanism has not completely straightened out .
Jia FuJun said that the construction of the social psychological service system is a comprehensive work led by the government, coordinated by multiple departments, and participated by the whole society. Without a leading unit, many work will not be implemented, and even shirking responsibility will occur.
Take the construction of the talent team of psychological counselors and psychotherapists as an example . Chen Baojun, Secretary-General of the Mental Health Branch of the China National Health Association, said that the professional qualification certificate of psychological counselors was issued by the former Ministry of Labor and Social Security. It is a labor skill and has no threshold. You can get a certificate as long as you have a certain amount of training. However, the certificate was withdrawn from the national professional qualification directory in 2017, and the exam was cancelled. Now the profession of psychological counselors is a professional and technical talent, and there must be a threshold for professional and technical talents, but there is no leading department to manage them yet. Without a leading department, you cannot be included in the professional title sequence, and there are no access standards, which means that no one cares about this profession.
"In the past, the country had relevant training systems, and later it was liberalized and handed over to various provinces. However, except for a few provinces, most provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities are still in the waiting and watching stage." Jia Fujun said that in the shortage of psychological counselors and psychotherapists, how should we regulate it? Including what professional titles are applicable to each unit, these have not been straightened out yet.
In this regard, Lu Lin suggested that the country set up a special department to regulate the assessment, standards, certification, etc. of psychological counselors and psychotherapists.
The construction of digital social psychological service system is in full swing
The construction of social psychological service system requires innovative development. In recent years, the advantages of digital technology in this regard have gradually emerged.
Member of Hainan Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference , Executive Director of the Mental Health Branch of the China National Health Association, and Secretary of the Party Committee of Hainan Fourth People's Hospital shared the innovative service model of the digital psychological service center under construction in Hainan Province. "We try to provide citizens with services such as mental health science, online live broadcasts, expert courses, and psychological self-evaluation to them in the form of WeChat official account, WeChat mini program, and App. In addition, the Social Mindset Public Opinion Center can conduct in-depth analysis of the causes of certain emotions, use emotion analysis technology to provide educational support, and provide reference and guidance for the formulation of future social governance plans." Lin Zhan said that in addition, they have also established some special services through the construction of a digital social service system.For example, with the help of digital monitoring terminals, blood oxygen saturation, heart disease body temperature, emotional disorders, etc. are monitored; after a disaster, remote monitoring will be used to intervene in psychological indicators such as psychological blood pressure , fatigue stress, etc., to provide medical protection for emergency rescue.
As a representative from related companies, Member of the CPPCC of Putian City, Fujian Province and Chairman of Haoxin Health Industry Group Co., Ltd. believes that strengthening digital construction can effectively improve the medical treatment rate of mental and psychological diseases . "We designed an app to use digital remote methods to provide identification diagnosis and even prescription treatment, so that the public can easily and quickly obtain expert treatment while privacy is fully protected. At the same time, network data is combined with remote technology to quickly identify users. From primary and secondary school students, corporate employees and even some special groups, they can experience professional services through screening, intervention, popular science, courses, etc.."
"Mental health services are the business of the whole society"
"Mental health services are not just a matter in the field of health, but a matter of the whole society." This is the consensus of experts and scholars attending the meeting. To this end, everyone has also given suggestions from different angles and perspectives.
Former consultant of the State Council and Special researcher of the State Council Consultant Office Chen Quansheng From the perspective of safe production and protection of workers, Thank you for not only protecting the physical health of workers, but also providing care and protection for their mental health. "The market is fierce now and the work pressure is high. We must not only pay attention to the mental health of front-line workers, but also care for civil servants and employees of enterprises and institutions."
Zhou Tao, member of the Standing Committee of the Sichuan Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and director of the Big Data Research Center of Chengdu University of Electronic Science and Technology, shared that they used big data technology to treat a certain place in Sichuan. The results of analyzing psychological problems that primary school students have and put forward suggestions: should pay attention to the protection role of families and schools, and pay attention to the "knot" of students ; among the adolescent groups, further care for the mental health of women and specific groups; in the overall framework of campus safety, a full data process for schools, class teachers, and parents to deal with psychological problems should be established to ensure that they can intervene in a timely manner after problems arise.
Wu Hao suggested that we should make full use of the health education classroom platform, take the mental and mental health professional institutions at the city and district levels as the leader, give full play to the professional advantages of the team of popular science experts in the two-level systems, and carry out mental health promotion work in government agencies, enterprises, institutions, schools and neighborhood committees to improve citizens' mental health level. Give full play to the advantages of new media, build a mental health promotion service platform, and provide public mental health public welfare services. In addition, you can also use the psychological assistance hotline to expand the connotation and scope of public mental health services and improve the timeliness and popularization of mental health services.
"The role of culture is to regulate the heart and nourish the heart. At the same time, the role of culture will also be revealed in the form. The heart is as empty as the heart, and the abdomen is full of poetry and literature." Vice President of the Mental Health Branch of the Chinese National Health Association, Director of the Institute of Mental Health of Harbin Medical University, and Director of the Mental Health Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, and Director of the Mental Health Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, believes that learning culture helps to handle the three relationships of life, namely, the relationship with nature, society, and oneself. "The relationship with yourself is that when you have culture in your heart, you can communicate with your inner culture. If you live until you are old and learn to the level of awareness, you can maintain mental health at all times." Xu Shuitao, the host of the salon of
and vice president of the People's Political Consultative Conference newspaper, said . With the acceleration of my country's urbanization process, people's lifestyles have changed, and it is imperative to strengthen social psychological services.As the mainstream media of , , on the one hand, we must do a good job in popularizing science, and on the other hand, we must promote the creation of a good social environment, care for, care for people suffering from mental illness and mental health problems, and reflect the social responsibility of the media.
