Coping strategies employed by older Nepalese migrant women to manage their mental distress in the UK: A qualitative research

Nepalese women used both problem-focused and emotion-focused coping strategies to manage their mental distress while living in the UK. However, they had poor awareness of the availability or potential benefits of mental health services in managing their distress and were not able to identify their everyday survival as strengths. We assert social interventions that build on women's abilities are essential to promote mental health and wellbeing.
