Filter by:This grant aims to develop and test a text-messaging intervention for parents of children and teens evaluated in the emergency department for a psychiatric emergency and discharged home with outpatient referrals. The intervention for parents will teach parents skills to navigate the mental health services system and build their self-efficacy in managing their child's mental health. This research has the potential to improve services for families seeking emergency psychiatric support, with the goal of facilitating treatment engagement and reducing emergency services utilization using scalable, cost-effective, accessible tools.
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.

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.
