The burdens related to mental illness have been increasingly recognized in many countries. Nevertheless, research in positive mental health behaviors remains scarce. This study utilizes the Predisposing, Reinforcing, and Enabling Causes in Education Diagnosis and Evaluation (PRECEDE) model to identify factors associated with mental health promoting behaviors and to examine the effects of these behaviors on mental well-being and quality of life among 941 adults in Hong Kong. Structural equation modeling shows that sense of coherence (predisposing factor), social support (reinforcing factor), and daily hassles (enabling factor) are significantly related to mental health promoting behaviors, which are associated with mental well-being and quality of life. Results of bootstrap analyses confirm the mediating role of mental health promoting behaviors on well-being and quality of life. The study supports the application of the PRECEDE model in understanding mental health promoting behaviors and demonstrates its relationships with well-being and quality of life.

Push Model

English This article suggests a push model for analyzing dilemmas between institutional care, community care and family care of mental-health consumers.

French Cet article suggéré un modèle dit de poussée dans l'analyse des dilemmas qui surgissent entre les soins d'ordre institutionnel, communautaire et familiaux auprès des clientèles en santé mentale. Aux États-Unis, les organismes communautaires sont surchargés dus à des pratiques de désinstitutionnalisation inappropriées. Á Hong Kong, les soignants familiaux se sentient écrasés par un lourd fardeau en raison de la pauvreté des soins. Spanish Se sugiere un modelo (`push model') para analizar los dilemmas entre el cuidado institucional, el cuidado familiar, y el cuidado comunitario de pacientes de salud mental. En los EE.UU el cuidado comunitario está sobrecargadas debido a los escasos cuidados comunitarios y a una alta institucionalización.
