Abstract

This thesis portfolio comprises three parts: a systematic literature review, an empirical paper, and appendices. The thesis explored the experiences of family reputation and parental attachment within the Indian Hindu population in the UK.
Part One: Systematic Literature Review
The systematic literature review explored how stigma of mental health diagnoses is experienced within ethnic minority populations. The review utilised the NICE quality checklist with an additional question from the CEBM checklist to determine the quality of chosen papers, which were then thematically synthesised. Findings highlighted the Context of Mental Health Stigma, Determinants of Mental Health Stigma, Effect of Mental Health Stigma. Subthemes included the causes and experiences of mental health, the impact and understanding of MHD, views on help seeking, and maintaining factors of MHD’s.
Part Two: Empirical Paper
The empirical paper explored the experiences of family reputation and parental attachment. Nine participants engaged in semi-structured interviews with transcripts being analysed using social constructivist grounded theory. Findings highlighted the origin of family reputation, the maintenance, and consequences of it on parental relationships as well as how future generations aim to change its impact.
Part Three comprises the Appendices.
The appendices contain relevant information to the systematic literature review and the empirical paper. It includes a reflective statement of the research process, an epistemological statement that reviews the epistemological position of the researcher and relevant materials used in the research.
