Filter by:This is a randomized controlled trial with 8 schools (4 intervention and 4 wait-list control schools) including 160 caregivers (80 teachers and 80 parents), with the aim of pilot testing the implementation process, feasibility, acceptability, usage patterns, and efficacy of the mHealth Toolkit for Wellness & Empowering Lives of School Community (mWEL) in Uganda. The mWEL-App is a preventive intervention tool for teachers and parents as a self-help support modality. Caregivers who need support in navigating the toolkit will be supported by P-CHWs. The investigators hypothesize that: 1) relative to the control, caregivers receiving the mWEL will have better efficacy outcomes (mental health literacy, and mental health outcomes); and 2) mWEL implementation will have high acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility.
This study was planned as a randomized controlled trial to determine the effect of creative drama education given to nursing students on mental health literacy scores
The present study consists of two two-armed randomized controlled trials between experimental and waitlist control groups. It aims to evaluate the effectiveness of conversational chatbot in improving mental health literacy, uptake of self-care behaviors, and mental well-being, compared to the waitlist control, and the effectiveness of daily notification on adherence. This study will provide important findings for the future development and implementation of chatbots in mental health, which may increase public access to immediate mental health support. It is hypothesized that participants in the experimental condition will show (H1) better mental health literacy (H2) better improvement in self-care and self-efficacy in mental well-being, and (H3) better mental well-being, compared with participants in the control condition. Also, it is hypothesized that participants with daily reminders will show (H4) a better adherence rate in using chatbot compared with participants without daily reminders
Mental health literacy (MHL) is necessary for the prevention, detection, and treatment of eating disorders, whereas the MHL about eating disorders is inadequate in China. Thus, the current study aimed to improve the MHL for eating disorders among Chinese adolescents via a brief online intervention.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness over time of an online mental health in sport module in improving mental health literacy, stigma, and help-seeking behaviors in a sample of Brock student-athletes. Student-athletes will be assigned to one of two conditions, mental health module or the waitlist condition. The mental health module will consist of completing the Supporting Student-Athletes Mental Wellness" online module for the student-athlete by the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA). Participants will complete surveys at pre-intervention, post-intervention, 3-months and 6-month time points.
Mental health literacy is a concept that aims to improve the skills of individuals to overcome difficulties in providing the appropriate help they need in this area. It provides individuals with motivation in this area such as informing and taking responsibility in the field of mental health, directing their behavior, facilitating access to and obtaining information, understanding, evaluating, using, and maintaining information. Objective: This project aims to examine the effect of web-based mental health literacy intervention carried out by school nurses on students' level of knowledge, help-seeking and stigmatization attitudes. Method: Randomized Controlled Trial Research design (pre-test post-test control group design) will be used in the project. The data will be collected through the Mental Health Literacy Scale for Children and Adolescents (MHLS), Attitude Scale for Seeking Psychological Help-Short Form (ASPH-S), Self-Stigma in Seeking Psychological Help Scale (SSSPHS) and the sociodemographic Question Form. The project will be carried out with the students of a secondary school and a high school in the district of Balçova, İzmir province. Sampling calculation Based on the analysis of variance in repeated measurements in 2 groups in the G Power program, Type1 Error 0.05 (alpha 5%) Type2 Error 0.20 (80% power), the sample size calculated in duplicate measurements with medium effect size is 43 participants for each group (Intervention-Control) calculated. Considering that there might be losses during data collection, it is planned to include 50 students for the intervention group and 50 students for the control group. Analysis of variance will be used in the evaluation of data, number, percentage, and descriptive statistics, and in repeated measures to evaluate the effect of the intervention The training modules to be prepared within the scope of the project will focus on the mental health literacy level of the child, attitudes to seek help and stigmatization. Among the teaching materials planned to be prepared for this purpose, there will be short animated course videos, video course contents, and audio presentations. In the study, where web-based education is planned, teaching materials will be delivered to students through the learning management system. Teaching materials and learning management systems will be designed in accordance with mobile technologies and access will be provided from smartphones, tablet computers, and similar mobile devices. During the teaching material development phase, firstly, educational content drafts (storyboards) will be created and presented to field experts, and their opinions on content, teaching approach, methods and techniques, and visual design principles will be taken. Pilot studies will be conducted to understand the educational content during the improvement phase of the developed teaching material designs. It is planned to finalize the training content in light of user feedback.
Although rates of depression are similar in Latinx populations compared to non-Latinx whites (NLW), there are significant disparities in service utilization. Mental health literacy - one's knowledge and attitudes about mental health and treatment-seeking - is a significant predictor of help-seeking behavior and likely contributes to mental health disparities among Latinx. Understanding ways to improve mental health literacy in Latinx populations is important to reducing these disparities. Health literacy interventions that are engaging, dramatic, and culturally-relevant, such as fotonovelas (graphic novels designed to change health-related knowledge and attitudes), show promise in changing mental health literacy in Latinx populations. However, little is known about how these interventions work and for whom they are most effective. Furthermore, although there is some evidence that fotonovelas can change mental health attitudes and intent to seek treatment, their impact on help-seeking behavior is less understood. The purpose of this study is to examine 1) if narrative and cultural elements of a fotonovela for Latinx with depression (i.e., transportation, identification, and social proliferation) are important mediators in changing mental health attitudes and help-seeking behaviors and 2) if factors such as rurality, acculturation, depression severity and logistic barriers to treatment moderate these relationships.
The author developed the HOPE intervention based on a systematic review (Tay, Tay, & Klainin‐Yobas, 2018). The overall aim of the study is to test the effectiveness of the online HOPE intervention in enhancing mental health literacy, depression literacy, psychological well-being and in reducing stress among youths aged 18 - 24 living in Singapore.
