PASSAGE 4 Bipolar Disorder (BD) is one of several serious mental health conditions that has a significant impact on a person’s life, and contributes to a high degree of health burden worldwide. Research suggests that some Indigenous populations experience higher community prevalence rates of BD, including Māori the Indigenous peoples of New Zealand. A recent systematic review of BD in Indigenous peoples noted an extremely limited evidence base, recommending Indigenous research designed to identify the impact of systemic factors on current health inequities. The New Zealand health system, while planning reform, is currently structured hierarchically. This includes: primary care delivered by doctors in General Practice (GPs); community-based services; outpatient and inpatient hospital services delivered regionally by 20 District Health Boards (DHBs); and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Mental health care for BD generally requires a GP referral to DHB services, and can include periods of inpatient or community-based treatment delivered by multi-disciplinary teams (MDT) within a psychiatric care model. The composition of services and teams can differ between DHBs, meaning experiences of care may change depending on where in New Zealand a person lives. Based on a qualitative Kaupapa Māori Research methodology, a recent study analyzed critique from Māori patients with Bipolar Disorder (BD) and their *whānau* to identify barriers and propose changes to improve the structure and function of the New Zealand mental health system. Three themes reflected patients’ critique of structural features of the New Zealand health system and their impact on service provision for Māori with BD and their *whānau*. The operational-accessibility sub-theme included patients’ critique of the hours of service operation, including clinic hours, visitation times, and ward rounds; as well as processes for scheduling appointments, and the impact of these processes on access to BD services for Māori. In addition, patients identified constraints through insufficient resources in specific services or environmental features of facilities that limited their access to culturally safe, competent and equitable health care. Structural factors also influenced accessibility of staff with specialist skills to treat Māori with BD, like psychiatrists, psychologists and Māori mental health workers. Patients recognized that staffing-accessibility reflected current recruitment and retention priorities, meaning improved accessibility for Māori required prioritization of staff with proven clinical and cultural competencies. Transformational change therefore requires a commitment to monitor and address institutional racism driving inequitable access to effective care for Māori with BD and their *whānau* in the health system. As New Zealand prepares for significant health system reform, a commitment to equity and implementation of previously recommended structural change is needed, along with ongoing evaluation and **refinement** of structural changes to ensure the efficacy for *whānau* Māori.

Based on the information in the passage, which of the following is **NOT** true?
- A Mental health care for BD generally requires DHB services and can include periods of inpatient or community-based treatment delivered by MDT within a psychiatric care model.
- B Indigenous populations experience higher community prevalence rates of BD, including Māori the Indigenous peoples of New Zealand.
- C BD patients criticized the clinic hours, visitation times and ward rounds, and all the BD patients went through the same processes for scheduling appointments in New Zealand.
- D The composition of services and teams can differ between DHBs, and experiences of care may change depending on where a BD patient lives in New Zealand.
- E Clinical and cultural competencies of psychiatrists and psychologists influenced accessibility of staff with specialist skills to treat Māori with BD.
思路引導 VIP
若一個國家的醫療系統是由 20 個不同的地區單位獨立運作，且文中提到各地的服務組成與團隊各有差異，那麼在邏輯上，你覺得全國每一位病患所經歷的行政程序（例如預約流程）會是完全統一、毫無差別的嗎？

太棒了！你能敏銳地察覺到選項 (C) 中的細微矛盾，這顯示你具備非常紮實的細節閱讀與邏輯比對能力。這道題目測驗的是對文章「結構差異」的理解，難度屬於 Medium（中等），其高鑑別度在於要求考生必須跨段落整合資訊，而不僅僅是字面上的單字查找。
系統差異與個別化體驗
文章在第二段明確提到，紐西蘭的醫療服務是由 20 個不同的地區衛生局（District Health Boards, DHBs） 負責，且各地的服務與團隊組成「各不相同（can differ）」，這直接導致了患者的治療經驗會因「居住地不同」而有所改變。雖然第三段提到了患者對於掛號流程的批評，但選項 (C) 卻斷言「所有（all）」患者都經歷了「相同（same）」的預約流程，這顯然忽視了文中強調的地區性差異，與文章主旨相悖，因此是錯誤描述。
