The pressure of urban life in 21st century cities and its impact on mental health are amongst the biggest social issues faced by modern societies. Shanghai Expo 2010 provides the venue for University of Nottingham’s latest seminar to address these problems and different care solutions that will promote social and economic sustainability.
在21世纪的城市中生活是有压力的,这种压力及其对精神健康的影响是现代社会面临的最重大的社会议题之一。诺丁汉大学近期将在2010年上海世博会上举行研讨会,探讨这些问题以及促进社会和经济可持续发展的各种保健方案。
Experts from Nottingham’s Institute of Mental Health (IMH) — a partnership between Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust and the University — will present their symposium on Mental Health and its Role in Sustainable, Industrialised Societies on Monday 11th October 2010.
来自诺丁汉大学精神健康研究院(由诺丁汉郡国民健康服务基金会和诺丁汉大学组成的伙伴关系)的专家将于2010年10月11日(星期一)在主题为“精神健康及其在可持续的工业化社会中所扮演的角色”的研讨会上发表演讲。
As China’s economy grows, its people must adapt to rapid urbanisation and new working environments. China’s leaders recognise that stress and mental illness are challenges that need to be overcome in order to sustain development — leading to an important Sino-UK collaboration via IMH and Shanghai Mental Health Centre (SMHC).
随着中国经济的增长,中国人必须适应高速的城市化和新的工作环境。中国领导人意识到为了保持发展,需要克服压力和精神疾病带来的挑战,因此通过诺丁汉大学精神健康研究院和上海市精神卫生中心,与英国结成了重要的协作关系
This meeting will bring together 80 senior clinicians, academics, social agencies, diplomats and company executives from the international community. Delegates will share experiences and strategies for innovative practice in psychiatry and mental health services within sustainable industrialised societies focusing on China’s new mega-cities. The event seeks to provoke debate and further collaboration, levering the new IMH-SMHC academic exchange programme.
此次会议将汇聚80位来自国际社会的资深临床医生、学者、社会机构人员、外交人员和公司高管,与会代表将分享在可持续的工业化社会中精神病学和精神健康服务方面的经验和战略,特别聚焦于中国新的超级大城市。此次活动旨在利用诺丁汉大学精神健康研究院和上海市精神卫生中心的合作关系,引发讨论,深化协作,推动学术交流。
Pro Vice Chancellor and UoN World Expo lead, Professor Chris Rudd said “Sustainable Cities require innovative solutions to planning, buildings and resources. But they also need to adapt infrastructure and services to support a healthy population. We’re delighted to move our sustainability seminar series beyond a pure technology focus and to work with leading practitioners from east and west in doing so.”
诺丁汉大学副校长、诺丁汉大学世博会带头人克里斯•路德(Chris Rudd)教授说:“可持续城市需要对规划、建设和资源的创新解决方案,但是城市还需要调整基础设施和公共服务,从而支持健康的人口。我们的可持续发展论坛超越了纯技术的焦点,与东西方领先的从业者一道工作,对此我们很高兴。”
Professor Nick Manning, Director of IMH, said: “Besides giving the Expo presentation, we are looking forward to holding two research symposia; one with colleagues at the School of Public Health at Fudan University, one of China’s top universities, and one with Shanghai Mental Health Centre, which is the city’s major psychiatric hospital.
诺丁汉大学精神健康研究院主任尼克•曼宁(Nick Manning)教授说:“除了在世博会上的演示活动,我们还期待着即将举办的两场研究研讨会:一场是与中国一流大学复旦大学公共卫生学院的同行的研讨会,另一场是与上海一家主要的精神病医院上海市精神卫生中心的研讨会。”
”Our reciprocal arrangement with the Shanghai Mental Health Centre permits researchers to spend time in UK or China. By finding out more about mental health needs and services in China we will be better placed to undertake joint research and to promote excellence in service provision,” says Prof Manning.
曼宁教授还说:“我们与上海市精神卫生中心达成了互惠协议,根据协议,英中两国的研究人员可以到对方的国家访问。通过更多了解中国在精神健康方面的需要和服务情况,我们就能更好地开展联合研究,在服务提供上更加卓越。”
Every family is likely to be affected in some way by mental health issues. Social change and economic development bring new stresses for individuals and families. Childhood disorders can have huge long-term costs if left untreated. Worldwide, depression and anxiety affect up to a quarter of adults at some point in their lives, impairing quality of life and productivity.
每个家庭都有可能在某一方面受到精神卫生问题的影响。社会变化和经济发展给个人和家庭带来新的压力,童年时期的疾病如果没有得到治疗会产生巨大的长期成本。全世界的成年人中有四分之一在生活中的某个时期受到沮丧和焦虑的影响,这导致人们的生活质量和生产力降低。
Increased longevity also means that more people develop dementia, with implications for long-term care of the population. Attending to the mental wellbeing of a population is one key to sustainability. Interventions to protect and promote mental health are likely to promote resilience, productivity and social cohesion.
人们寿命增长意味着更多人会患上痴呆症,这对此类人群的长期护理将带来影响。关注人们的精神幸福是实现可持续发展的关键因素之一。为了保护和促进精神卫生而进行干预极有可能提高复原力、生产力和社会凝聚力。
