鏗鏘集:迷惘 (謝家和博士) 參與專訪,昐望有需要的家庭主動求助,我們研究團隊可以提供協助
在疫情期,不少實體課堂轉為網課,學生上網時間增多,部分青少年沉迷網絡世界。最近,有調查顯示,受訪的2700多位學生中,約三成曾連續打機超過5小時,最嚴重的個案更高達90小時,調查同時發現,受訪學生自我評估的情緒狀態偏差,約5成學生認為自己有中度至非常嚴重的抑鬱、焦慮症狀。而世界衛生組織亦在2018年,正式將打機成癮歸入精神健康問題。到底上網及打機成癮,為患者帶來什麼影響?如何做才重回正常生活步伐?

Fields of Knowledge.
Motivational Interviewing.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) originating from the treatment of alcohol use problems grew into an evidence-based psychologistic counselling approach. MI has its roots in a client-centred philosophical basis with mindset (relation) and skill-set (technical) to motivate people to help people change.
動機式訪談法
動機訪談式訪談法(MI)起源於治療酒精使用問題。 經歷了四十年的演變和科學實證,MI 已成為實證為本的心理言語諮詢方式。MI 通過採用案主為中心和目標為本的輔導手法,吸納人本手法的輔導精神和技巧,透過不同的導引策略,協助人們提升動機邁向改變。
Addiction.
My expertise lies in addiction treatment. I find this topic intriguing. When professionals describe addictive behaviors, I would be curious about how they developed their reasoning and analysis. How do they define any particular addiction? Do we really know what addiction is? Is it drug use? Is it drinking? Is it spending excessive time on social media or gaming?
These are the questions I will look into:
(1) What is an addictive behavior and how do we define it?
(2) What factors affect the causes and the continuation of their addictive behaviors?
(3) How do we deal with addictive behaviors?
I hope this section serves as a platform for everyone to study and discuss addictive behaviors and to share relevant literature.
成癮行為
這題目是我的專長,也是我最感興趣的題目。當社會上好多行為都被視為成癮行為的時候。有沒有人真正知道何為成癮呢?吸毒是嗎?飲酒是嗎?吸煙是嗎?賭博是嗎?打機是嗎?上社交媒體是嗎?性又是嗎?何為成癮行為呢?如果定義、有什麼因素影響,如何處理和治療呢?希望這裡可提供一個平台供大家研習和討論。
Mental Health.
Mental health is an alarming global issue, which shares a vital part of the well-being of every individual. It covers all age groups across different stages of human development, especially in a stressful living environment like Hong Kong.
(1) Young people struggle with academic performance, interpersonal relationships, and personal growth.
(2) Adults compete for their careers and livelihoods. They need to strike a balance between family, jobs, and pursuing higher education.
(3) Elderly worry about their health, living in retirement and deteriorating their self-concepts and feelings of loneliness. Optimization of living becomes a great deal of managing better physical and mental health. Dr. Tse will share his thoughts, ideas, and international literature on various mental health issues in this section. This section will be helpful to you, your family, and society.
精神健康
精神健康是一個令人擔憂的全球性問題。每個人在不同的年齡層和處於不同人類發展階段,均有機會受著精神或情緒困擾影響其生活質素,尤其是在像香港這樣生活壓力大的地方。 (1) 青少年在學業成績、人際關係、個人成長等方面掙扎和探索; (2) 成年人為事業和生計而奮鬥,在家庭、工作和持續進修之間取得平衡; (3) 老年人則擔心身體健康狀況,為更好的退休生活而擔憂,自我概念的迷惘和減少社會連系所引至的孤獨感等。故此,認識精神健康和有效管理身心健康是改善生活質素的一個重要環節。 謝博士將在本節分享關於對各種心理健康問題的想法、觀點和國際文獻。 希望對您、您的家人和社會有所幫助。
