societies around the world Given a nurturing environment, children have the opportunity to grow into successful and productive members of society Raising children to be physically and mentally healthy requires much effort and serious care from parents or caregivers Mental health problems in children are a crucial influence on child development Understanding the symptoms and causes of mental health problems will help parents effectively support their children and promote their cognitive, social and emotional development (MoH, 2005; TPO 2005) ―There is no health without mental health‖ said Ban Ki Moon on October 10th World Mental Health Day, 2011 This message encouraged public and private sectors to take into account citizens’ mental health care, children included Improving people’s quality of life and mental health is a priority for the World Health Organization (WHO) Worldwide epidemiological data indicate that about 20% of children and adolescents suffer from mental disorders with types of disorders varying by cultural context This finding is alarming and suggests that early intervention for mental health care is needed (Saxena, Thornicroft, Knapp; Whiteford, 2007) Another global study focused solely on children, conducted both in developing and developed nations, and showed that 10% to 15% of children suffer from mental health disorders with 3% to 4% of children having significant developmental delays or mental retardation (Dom Nokteok, 2010) This finding was very similar to a study (WHO, 2007) conducted by Seven Nation Collaborative Study on children aged 0-12 in the Philippines which found that 16% of children in the Philippines had mental disorders Regionally, a recent study (Weiss, Dang, & Nguyen, 2013) revealed that 1213% of Vietnamese children (aged 6-16) suffer from mental health problems, indicating that 2.7 million of Vietnamese children need access to mental health services Studies have also looked at what factors place children at risk for mental health problems Weiss and colleagues (2013) found that parental income and education play an important role as risk factors for Vietnamese child behavioral and emotional problems Another evidenced-based study of Spanish National Health Survey (SNHS) with Spanish representative found a strong correlation between parental education and child mental health among to 10 year olds This finding was not seen among children aged from 12 to 15 years olds Parental education was a much greater risk factor for child mental health than family’s income or social status (Songego, Llacer, and Galan, 2013) Therefore, parental education appears to be a strong risk factor for parent-reported child mental health Parenting behavior appears to be an important factor in the development of child mental health disorders One study demonstrated that parenting style plays a crucial role in child mental health; parents with strong interpersonal relationships with their children had children with fewer mental health problems (Bolghan-Abadi, Kimiaee & Amie, 2011) Furthermore, research has shown that family interventions that use specific parenting skills are the most effective strategy to reduce child behavioral problems (Hutching & Lane, 2005) Research on child mental health is complicated by cultural variability in perceptions of mental health, parenting behaviors, and parent reporting styles A study of Vietnamese parents living in Australia indicates that these parents identified psychotic symptoms, disorientation, and suicidal thoughts and behavior as psychopathological for their child’s mental illness Additionally, parents in the study believe that the most likely causes of child mental illnesses were metaphysical and supernatural, biological/chemical unrest, and traumatic experiences (McKelvey, Baldassar, Sang, & Roberts 1999) Another study (Shanley, 2008) was conducted in New Zealand to better understand multiple perspectives of parent’s report of child mental health symptoms As a result, a parent-report measure was developed that is designed to be consistent with the cultural setting 1.2 Problem Statement Professionals and experts have a deep understanding of the causal, developmental and maintaining factors of children's mental health problems Research on psychopathology indicates the following: 1) the interaction between multiple biological, psychological and social factors cause children's mental health problems (Shirk, Talmi, & Olds, 2000), 2) "One disorder can result from multiple pathways and one pathway can have multiple results" (Hudson, Kendall, Coles, Robin, & Webb, 2002), 3) child psychopathology can be also developed from the increase of risk factors, especially exposure to risk factors during critical developmental periods which can accelerate the chance of developing mental health disorders (Shirk et al., 2000), and 4) risk and protective factors can be nonlinear, bidirectional, or reciprocal Children and their environments are not mutually disconnected; they constantly have reciprocal interactions and continually evolve over time (Shirk et al., 2000; Kazdin, Kraemer, Kessler, Kupfer, & Offord, 1997) It is ambiguous whether Cambodian parents are able to understand this complicated picture of the cause, development and maintaining factors of children's mental health problems The first mental health literacy study in Australia (Jorm, Barney, Christensen; Highet, Kelly, 2006) (by using vignettes) on depression and schizophrenia indicated that many people cannot correctly describe psychiatric symptoms for a disorder and various evidence also reveals that changing perception and beliefs about mental disorders will influence behavior Parents are more likely to endorse a disease model when conceptualizing child mental health problems A disease model, which first originated in medicine, describes maladaptive functioning as a syndrome that is either present or absent (Shirk et al., 2000; Sroufe, 1997) For example, a parent who views their child's depression as either present or absent would likely endorse the disease model, negating the notion that mental health problems exist on a continuum of severity Importantly, other literature shows that one key factor involved in parental help-seeking for child mental health services is misperceptions of child mental health symptoms or disagreement between parents regarding child mental health (Shanley, 2008) Although there is an emerging literature on perceptions of mental health disorders in Cambodia (See Chapter 2.2), there is no current literature on review of child mental health disorders yet in Cambodia Hence, scientific research on Cambodian parental views of child mental disorders must be further explored 1.3 Importance of the study and policy implications It is expected that this empirical study will generate many significant scientific findings relevant to child mental health, family functioning and social development First, the study intends to further our understanding of parent’s perceptions of child mental problem across a variety of demographic areas Additionally, it will inform key health and education professionals, including child psychotherapists, school counselors, and child-focused government offices, NGOs and social organizations working to promote child health Finally, it will help improve efforts to educate parents about mental health problems and improve their ability to seek appropriate services for children with mental health concerns 1.4 Purposes of the study / The Aim of Research (Research Questions): The purpose of this study is to explore parental perceptions of child mental disorders This research will address the following three main questions: What are the common Cambodian parental perceptions of common symptoms, causes and effective responses to child psychopathological problems? What are the factors (education, socio-economic, demographic, family situation, etc) that influence the Cambodian parental perceptions of child mental health? Is there any existing association between parental perceptions of child mental disorders and their child’s mental health? 1.5 Objectives of the study: To specifically address the primary study research questions, the primary goals of the study are the following: Understand the general Cambodian parents’ perceptions of symptoms and causes of child’s mental health problems and about how parents in Cambodia commonly respond to children with mental health problems Explore the factors that may influence Cambodian parents’ perceptions of child mental health To explore significant differences between Cambodian parents from urban areas compared to parents from rural areas on their perceptions of child mental health To explore how Cambodian parents’ perceptions of child mental health problems may be associated with their own child’s mental health symptoms 1.6 Hypotheses for the study: In response to above objectives, the author has pre-determinedly provided the following hypotheses: Hypothesis 1: A significant number of Cambodian parents will have inaccurate beliefs regarding the common symptoms, causes and effective responses to common child psychopathological problems Hypothesis 2: Cambodian parental socio-demographic factors, including age, education, and income will be significantly correlated with their perceptions of child mental health symptoms, causes and appropriate parental responses Hypothesis 3: There will be a significant difference between parents from urban areas in Cambodia compared to parents from rural areas on perceptions of child mental health Hypothesis 4: Cambodian parents’ reported responses to common mental health problems and perception of causes of child mental health will be correlated with their own child’s mental health Hypothesis 5: High rates of mental health in children will be correlated with Cambodian parental demographic information 1.7 Scope and Limitation The time frame for the study requires the author to strictly maintain a narrow focus for the project Therefore, the study will mainly concentrate on parents’ perceptions of children’s mental health and how these understandings correlate with their child’s mental health status Additionally, the target group will be Cambodian parents of school age children who currently study in grades 1, and The sample will include parents from schools in an urban area (Phnom Penh) and from schools in a rural area (Kampong Speu province, about 80 kms away from Phnom Penh) REFERENCES Aloud, N (2004) Factors affecting attitudes toward seeking and using
