dc.description.abstractThe study was conducted to find out the socio-cultural factors affecting the delivery of mental health services in Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Port Harcourt. Mental health care providers encounter in everyday practice a diversity in socio-cultural beliefs and practices of their consumers which quite often serve as barriers to their effective and efficient service delivery. 50 mental health care providers participated in the study; five hypotheses were tested using chi-square measure at the significance level of 0.05. The results showed that all the variables were significant indicating that socio-cultural factors affect the service delivery of mental health care providers. Hence, it is hereby recommended that clinicians must be well vast in the cultural diversities, to be culturally responsive to the needs of their consumers and be aware of their own cultures in order to provide culturally relevant services to their clients/patients and their relations
