Filter by:The goal of this interventional study is to assess the effectiveness of the universal suicide prevention program "Youth Aware of Mental Health" in 3rd-year secondary education students in Galicia. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is the YAM program effective in reducing severe suicidal ideation at 12 months from baseline within the experimental group and compared to the control group? - Is the YAM program effective in preventing the incidence of new suicidal attempts, 12 months from baseline in the experimental group compared to the control group? All participants in this study will be asked to: Complete a survey at baseline and after 12 months, consisting of measures for suicidal ideation and behavior, depressive symptoms, seeking help behaviors, bullying, problematic internet use, and emotional distress. Only those allocated to the experimental group will be asked to: Undergo the YAM program, an evidence-based intervention structured into five one-hour class group sessions (45-50 min.), focused on problem-solving by peers. The program consists of interactive presentations, dilemma discussions, role-playing, and reflection, all moderated by a trained YAM instructor. Twelve months after the intervention, all participants will undergo a re-evaluation using the same protocol. The researchers will compare differences in pre- and post-measures within the experimental and control groups, as well as between both groups, to assess the impact of the YAM intervention on outcomes such as suicidal ideation and attempts. At the end of the study, those who were allocated to the control group are going to be offered the YAM intervention program.
With the widespread use of technology and internet, digital game addiction and cyberbullying behaviors have increased among adolescents. Effective interventions are needed to prevent these behaviors. The aim of the study is to determine the effect of health education supported by motivational interviewing on digital game addiction and cyberbullying behaviors in adolescents. The research will be conducted with a randomized controlled trial design. The intervention group will receive six sessions of motivational interviewing-supported health education. Within the scope of the intervention, the first two sessions will be health education and the last four sessions will be motivational interviewing. It is planned that each session will be 35 minutes and the sessions will be implemented one week apart.
The study will be conducted with the randomized controlled experimental method. The purpose of this research is to determine the cyberbullying awareness training given to 7th-grade secondary school students' awareness levels of cyberbullying. Students will be randomly assigned to groups by lottery method. After the randomization students in the intervention group will be given 'Cyberbullying Awareness Training'. The cyberbullying awareness level of all students will be determined with the 'Cyberbullying Awareness Scale' before and 3 months after the training. Students in the control group will not be educated. The cyberbullying awareness level of the students in the control group will be determined with the 'Cyberbullying Awareness Scale' when they are included in the research and 3 months later.
Emotional disorders such as anxiety and depression are significantly underdiagnosed and undertreated, even though they are some of the most prevalent mental health conditions, especially among young individuals. Approximately 50% of mental health disorders manifest by the age of 14, and around 75% appear by the age of 24, underscoring the critical importance of addressing these issues during adolescence. Unfortunately, during this developmental stage, early warning signs and even fully developed clinical conditions often go unnoticed, undiagnosed, and untreated. Nonetheless, there is a lack of established, evidence-backed procedures aimed at reaching out to adolescents at risk of developing emotional disorders. Urgently required is a fundamental shift in our approach by creating intervention protocols that allow for the early identification and treatment of at-risk adolescents, thus averting the potential development of severe mental health disorders as they mature. The selective prevention of mental health issues is a crucial element in assisting at-risk adolescents in flourishing before emotional disorders progress. To address this gap, PROCARE+ was conceived as a modularized selective prevention program for adolescents aged 12 to 18 years. Using a personalized medicine approach, PROCARE+ successfully allowed for the adaptation of intervention protocols according to the specific needs of each individual, while also identifying vulnerable individuals based on risk factors. PROCARE 2.0 aims to enhance the PROCARE+ intervention by maximizing and extending its effects beyond the population in the post-COVID-19 pandemic era. PROCARE 2.0 stratifies adolescents based on their risk and resilience status and will deliver, alongside a core intervention, new specific add-on modules designed to address risk factors identified by adolescents: : 1) Situations of rejection, bullying, and cyberbullying; 2) Addiction to new technologies such as video games or mobile phones and other substances like alcohol, tobacco, and drugs; 3) Improvement of healthy lifestyle habits related to nutrition, sleep, and physical activity; 4) Enhancement of stress-related situations: Ecoanxiety or exam-related anxiety; and 5) Improvement of parent-child relationships and situations of high expressed emotion (parent module). Furthermore, emphasis will be placed on the study of reinforcement sessions to maintain the results following the initial intervention (based on central and additional modules depending on the detected risk factors). Adolescents will be assigned to different experimental groups with or without reinforcement sessions in order to increase the effectiveness of the intervention. PROCARE 2.0, like PROCARE, aims to reduce the impact of risk factors and enhance protective factors that will ultimately lead to lasting positive effects for adolescents. It will combine quantitative analyses, with a special focus on vulnerable groups in a disaggregated approach by sex, gender, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status. The PROCARE 2.0 project is expected to have a significant impact. Its outcomes will continue to contribute to the identification and preventive treatment of adolescents at risk of emotional mental disorders at an early stage, before they incur personal, social, and economic costs.It will be designed to be an acceptable, scalable, and sustainable selective prevention program, striving to increase its effectiveness beyond the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, ultimately contributing to the prevention and reduction of the prevalence of mental disorders in young people.
Cyberbullying can be defined as intentional aggression through electronic routes, such as text messages, e-mails, chat rooms, online games, and social websites. In comparison with traditional bullying, cyberbullying has many unique characteristics that boost its harmful effects, including the inability to avoid bullying, presence of larger and more potential audience, the continuity of bullying regardless of time or place, and the anonymity of perpetrator in many occasions .
This study evaluates the effectiveness of a wise intervention based on self-affirmation (SA) and Implicit Theories of Personality (ITP) building resilience in victims. Half of the participants will receive the experimental intervention, while the other half will receive a control intervention.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of a Wise intervention based on self-affirmation (SA) and Implicit Theories of Personality (ITP) in Spanish adolescents and young people. Half of participants will receive the ITP and self-affirmation intervention, while the other half will receive a control intervention.
The purpose of this randomized pilot trial is to test the feasibility of online recruitment and intervention delivery of the same Intervention to Prevent Cyber-victimization among Adolescents through Text-Messaging (iPACT) intervention content, delivered via mobile app (instead of SMS). This study includes a brief remote introductory session, followed by eight weeks of daily, tailored two-way messages, with an 8-week assessment. If successful, the IMPACT intervention will demonstrate feasibility and acceptability of an easily disseminable intervention to improve wellness and resilience among at-risk youth and their social network.
The aim of the project is to develop and evaluate an app-based intervention for adolescents who have been exposed to cyberbullying. The overarching goal is to offer a low-threshold intervention, called NettOpp, that is easy accessible and free to use for every junior high school student who has experienced cyberbullying in Norway.
Adolescence is a period of many physical, mental, emotional, and social changes. It is also associated with risk behaviour conducts. Nonetheless, not all youths under disadvantage, adversity, or exposure to risk factors experience negative mental health outcomes. The concept of RESILIENCE provides one possible explanation for the ability of some individuals to maintain positive mental health. Resilience is thus the ability of an individual or community to adapt to life challenges or adversities while maintaining mental health and well-being. The increasing prevalence of mental disorders amongst children (around 10-20% of young people) makes positive mental health promotion in schools necessary through intervention programmes. UPRIGHT (Universal Preventive Resilience Intervention Globally implemented in schools to improve and promote mental Health for Teenagers) is a research and innovation project funded by the European Union´s Horizon 2020 programme (No. 754919). UPRIGHT general aim is to promote mental well-being and prevent mental disorders in youth by enhancing resilience capacities. It has been designed as a whole school approach addressing early adolescents, their families and the school community to finally create a real mental well-being culture at schools.
