Your memes and encouragement to get my daily exercise and vitamin D intake kept me sane.\nTo all the participants who graciously shared their stories and experiences with me, I will be forever grateful for how much I have learnt about myself, my culture, and the experiences of Chinese people.\nMy friends for forever cheering me on from the sidelines and checking in on me, particularly my small network of Chinese friends and extended family who gave their thoughts and feedback on the executive summary. I hope that together we will take comfort from sharing our emotions with each other more.\nThe one and only Dr Jodie Westhead, for the endless hours “virtual officing” throughout the pandemic, for being an inspiration of what can be achieved even in the most difficult and trying of circumstances.\nMartin, for being my true other half, taking care of everything else in our lives to ensure I could give my all to this doctoral thesis and for his thorough proof reading!\nFinally, my deepest appreciation is to my family - my grandad, Cheung For Yau for taking the opportunity to emigrate from Hong Kong to the UK. My parents, for always encouraging me to achieve the career I wanted, despite not always fully understanding my ambition to become a Clinical Psychologist. My brother, Dr Kevin Cheung, for being my role model and always encouraging me to reach for the stars, starting with applying for one of those limited Psychology A-Level places many years ago. Thank you for believing in me. It is with honour that I dedicate this thesis to my family.\n\u000f\n\u0003Contents\n\u0013 TOC \\o \"1-3\" \\h \\z \\u \u0014\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc70544601\" \u0014Thesis Abstract\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc70544601 \\h \u00147\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc70544602\" \u0014Paper 1: Literature Review\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc70544602 \\h \u00148\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc70544603\" \u0014Abstract\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc70544603 \\h \u00149\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc70544604\" \u0014Introduction\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc70544604 \\h \u001410\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc70544605\" \u0014Method\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc70544605 \\h \u001412\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc70544606\" \u0014A meta-ethnographic review\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc70544606 \\h \u001412\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc70544607\" \u0014Search strategy\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc70544607 \\h \u001412\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc70544608\" \u0014Search terms\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc70544608 \\h \u001414\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc70544609\" \u0014Search returns\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc70544609 \\h \u001415\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc70544610\" \u0014Results\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc70544610 \\h \u001415\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc70544611\" \u0014Data extraction\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc70544611 \\h \u001416\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc70544612\" \u0014Critical appraisal\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc70544612 \\h \u001416\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc70544613\" \u0014Reflexivity\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc70544613 \\h \u001425\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc70544614\" \u0014Interpretation of findings\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc70544614 \\h \u001425\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc70544615\" \u0014Mental health professionals and services\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc70544615 \\h \u001426\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc70544616\" \u0014The burden of care\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc70544616 \\h \u001427\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc70544617\" \u0014Financial hardship\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc70544617 \\h \u001430\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc70544618\" \u0014Spirituality and Religion\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc70544618 \\h \u001430\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc70544619\" \u0014Family conflict and relationships\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc70544619 \\h \u001431\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc70544620\" \u0014Stigma and social isolation\t\u0013 PAG","cbCaidkRU8Yk1AHL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidkRU8Yk1AHL","docx",2439472,126,"English","# Thesis Abstract\n# Paper 1: Literature Review\n## Introduction\n## Method\n## A meta-ethnographic review\n## Search strategy\n## Results\n## Discussion\n# Paper Two: Empirical Paper\n## Abstract\n## Introduction\n## Method\n## Results\n## Discussion\n## Implications","[{\"question\":\"What is the thesis focused on regarding mental health?\",\"answer\":\"It examines Chinese people’s mental health experiences by combining a global review of family support with an analysis of Hong Kong second-generation Chinese immigrants’ lived experiences in the UK.\"},{\"question\":\"How are the research methods structured in this thesis?\",\"answer\":\"The work includes a literature review using a meta-ethnographic approach and a separate empirical paper with its own method, analysis, and results sections.\"},{\"question\":\"Which themes are highlighted in the findings?\",\"answer\":\"The table of contents indicates coverage of mental health professionals and services, the burden of care, financial hardship, spirituality and religion, family conflict and relationships, stigma and social isolation, and positive aspects of care.\"}]","Chinese people’s experiences of mental health - A Review of Family Support Globally and an Analysis of Hong Kong Second-Generation Chinese Immigrants’ Lived Experiences in the UK - Thesis portfolio | DOCX",44]
