“…This result may indicate either inadequacy of this intervention protocol in relation to the proposed purpose or the inadequacy of the choice of psychosocial indicators. That is, since promoting mental health aims to strengthen resilience, promote emotional well-being, strengthen social bonds, and increase social capital (1)(2)(3) , some indicators that could be more sensitive to the proposal of the present study would be self-efficacy, coping styles, symptoms of common mental disorders, other dimensions of social support and access to resources in the network.…”

“…Mental health promotion is described as a set of actions that aim, through an empowerment process, to create individual, social, and environmental conditions that allow individuals to increase their ability to control their own lives. Therefore, promoting mental health implies the use of strategies that foster supportive environments and strengthen individuals' resilience, showing respect for culture, prioritizing equity, social justice, personal dignity, and interconnections (1)(2)(3) .…”

“…Although health and mental health promotion are complementary approaches, health promotion generally focuses on lifestyle factors (promoting physical activity, healthy lifestyle habits, reducing substance use), while promoting mental health aims to directly increase resilience and empower people to better cope with adversity or stressful events by focusing on cognitive, social, and emotional skills, primarily using strategies based on problem solving, social skills training, and social support (1)(2)(3) .…”

“…It should be emphasized that the promotion of mental health has been defended as one of the priorities for the construction of public policies at the global level and, therefore, it is recommended to integrate this approach in the setting of primary health care (1,3) . However, a review study has pointed out that little research on mental health promotion has been developed in this setting (1) .…”

Objective: To describe the results of a group of women's mental health promotion conducted by nurses. Method: This is a quantitative study of the pre-and post-test type. The participants were women aged between 20 and 64 years old attending a Primary Care Unit. We used the Sarason Social Support Questionnaire, the World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment questionnaire, and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Data were collected before, immediately after and three months after the intervention. Results: improvement in the physical and environmental quality of life was identified. However, there was no measurable change in the other indicators adopted. Conclusion: the ludic activities and the Body Mapping technique were promising for improving the physical and environmental domain of quality of life, constituting important tools for nursing care and interventions related to mental health in basic care. Descriptors: Mental Health; Women; Health Centers; Primary Health Care; Quality of Life.

The Capacities of Primary Health Care in Hungary: A Problem Statement

In the establishment, development, and provision of equal access to the health care system, the operation of adequate primary health care is essential and has undergone significant transformation in the most developed countries over the past decades. The central and eastern European countries, including Hungary, are struggling with the disadvantages of the traditional model of primary health care, based on independent general practitioner and family paediatrician practices: the ability of the system is extremely limited to meet emerging needs and is facing a chronic human resource crisis. In the current study, the functions, legislation, and challenges of the Hungarian primary health care system, as well as the basic interrelations of the development of vacant general practitioner and family paediatrician districts were examined, and the government measures for the sake of solving the occurrence of the vacancy and improving access in the lagging areas. (The situation of the other fields of primary health care-e.g., dental care, child care officer care, etc.-was not subject of the analysis.). The basic characteristics of the vacant districts (type by supplied age group, bounding region, population size, length of vacancy) were primarily examined by the analysis of categorical and metric variables, with the use of cross-tabulation and nonparametric correlation, while the discovery of soft interrelations was supported by an expert interview conducted with the professionals of the Primary Health Care Department of the National Health Care Services Centre. In Hungary, the fundamentals of primary health care are made up of the individual practices of general practitioners and paediatricians, and there is a growing concern about the permanent vacancy of the districts, and the fact that the system is less suitable for meeting the needs of the population. The ever-increasing number of vacant general practitioner and family paediatrician districts due to the growing shortage of professionals because of aging and emigration poses the burden of substitution on the physicians in existing practices, that concerns the access of more than a half million people to health care, almost 70 percent of which live in settlements with a population less than 5000 inhabitants.

Issue addressed With nearly half of all Australians likely to experience a mental illness, increasing community‐based mental health promotion is warranted. Community pharmacies are accessible health care destinations that effectively provide a range of public health services. This study explored consumer opinions of mental health promotion in the community pharmacy setting, the activities they have observed and the perceived role/s of pharmacy staff in this area. Methods A survey was informed by five interviews with pharmacy consumers and a literature review. Adult pharmacy consumers were recruited nationwide via a Research Panel company between December 2018 and January 2019. Survey data were descriptively analysed and associations confirmed by chi‐square analysis. Results Data were analysed from 537 of the 577 respondents; 34.3% of participants had a lived experience of mental illness. Just under a quarter of participants (23.3%) had observed mental health promotion in community pharmacy. Pharmacy was viewed as a suitable environment for this promotion by most respondents (n = 446/516), particularly those with lived experience, with a preference for in‐store leaflets, posters and linking with existing national mental health organisations/campaigns. Lack of privacy and the busy pharmacy environment were identified as barriers for promotion in this setting. Conclusion There is a clear potential for mental health promotion within community pharmacies, although the uptake and impact of such activities require further investigation. So what? These findings highlight a missed opportunity for pharmacists to engage with consumers about mental health and well‐being, even though community pharmacies are accessible health care destinations.
