“…Our findings are similar to other studies that found that MHL programmes improve knowledge about mental disorders, consequently enhancing confidence and willingness to engage and help (Hung, Lam, & Chow, 2019;Hurley, Allen, Vella, & Swann, 2020). The usefulness of the programme in also decreasing stigmatizing attitudes and fostering positive attitudes is consistent with the outcomes of other studies (Bond, Jorm, Kitchener, & Reavley, 2015;Hung et al, 2019).…”

“…The results of this process evaluation send a positive signal about the usefulness of such a programme and lend support to the findings of our CRCT, summarized earlier, that presented a moderate improvement in knowledge about, and attitudes towards, people with mental disorders (Arthur et al, 2020a, 2020b). Our findings are similar to other studies that found that MHL programmes improve knowledge about mental disorders, consequently enhancing confidence and willingness to engage and help (Hung, Lam, & Chow, 2019; Hurley, Allen, Vella, & Swann, 2020).

Improved knowledge about, and positive attitudes towards, people with mental illness could lead to improved support and decreased stigma for people with mental illness, including their families and carers. The aims of our study were to evaluate the perspectives of community leaders about the usefulness of a cluster randomized trial of a problem‐solving and Story‐bridge based mental health literacy (MHL) programme and to understand whether they utilized the knowledge acquired from the programme in their usual interactions with people with mental illness and their families. Twenty‐five participants were sampled randomly from the intervention cluster of the trial to participate in a qualitative process evaluation, and individual interviews were used to collect data. A thematic analysis of the data was undertaken. Three themes were abstracted from the data, reflecting participants’ perspectives about the usefulness of the programme: overcoming fear of perceived dangerousness, increasing willingness to engage, and becoming empathetic and non‐judgemental. This qualitative process evaluation offers insights into how a problem‐solving and Story‐bridge based MHL programme to a targeted group could lead to real and supportive actions/attitudes to people with mental illness. The findings have clinical relevance for a collaboration among family members and caregivers, community leaders and community psychiatric nurses, and other primary healthcare workers to develop community MHL strategies to improve the quality of care, support and life of people with mental disorders.

“…A educação problematizadora, nesse sentido, permite que o aprendiz participe ativamente da tomada de decisões, sendo o educador o mediador desse processo (2,4,17) . eficaz para reforçar conhecimentos, aprimorar técnicas e habilidades, além de propiciar um maior senso de conquista e satisfação no aprendizado de estudantes de enfermagem (18) . Verifica-se, portanto, que atividades educativas em saúde mental podem tornar o cuidado de enfermagem mais resolutivo e garantir a construção de práticas pautadas em realidades vivas.…”

Objetivo: analisar a percepção de enfermeiras atuantes em leitos psiquiátricos de um hospital geral sobre a realização de um treinamento em saúde mental com a utilização de metodologias ativas. Método: pesquisa do tipo descritiva, exploratória, com abordagem qualitativa, realizada em um hospital geral de grande porte, com cinco enfermeiras, no período de junho a novembro de 2019. A coleta de dados consistiu em duas etapas: realização e avaliação do treinamento. Para a realização do treinamento, utilizaram-se metodologias ativas, com foco na aprendizagem baseada em problemas e problematização. A avaliação do treinamento foi realizada por meio de entrevista semiestruturada, elaborada segundo o modelo proposto por Kirkpatrick, e os dados analisados por meio da análise de conteúdo temática de Bardin. Resultados: os enfermeiros consideraram o treinamento positivo e desenvolveram habilidades como abordagem terapêutica, escuta ativa e mudança de comportamento. Conclusão: o treinamento foi eficaz na construção do conhecimento, promovendo transformações e reflexões significativas na aprendizagem de enfermeiros, além de contribuir com a produção de habilidades e atitudes na área de saúde mental, valorizando a aprendizagem significativa.

“…Hung et al (2019) explored the impact of MHFA training on the trainees' awareness of their own mental health. Their ndings suggest that MHFA training may enhance the personal awareness of the trainee's mental health as a secondary effect of enhancing their skills at helping others.Bovopoulos et al (2016) have also reported on MHFA instructors' experiences and perspectives of delivering MHFA courses in Australia.…”

Background: Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) has received substantial international attention since its founding in the late 1990s, with a growing evidence base relating to its nature and impact across a variety of settings. Aims: To identify the effectiveness of MHFA upon a range of outcomes, recipients, its cost-effectiveness, and the mechanisms of its effect.Method: A systematic evidence synthesisResults: Data from 65 studies show MHFA education improves trainees’ mental health literacy, their perceived confidence in helping people living with mental distress and their intentions to help such people. MHFA also raises employees’ knowledge of mental illnesses in the workplace. There was also evidence of MHFA trainees using aspects of the five-stage ALGEE MHFA approach in their helping behaviour. The quality of the studies in this review varied across different types of studies. No published studies to date have evaluated MHFA’s impact on recipient outcomes, articulated the mechanisms of its effect, its cost-effectiveness, or societal impact.Conclusions: MHFA remains popular, but evidence of its effectiveness upon those receiving it remains unknown. It is urgent to undertake studies testing the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of MHFA upon recipients, as well as identifying, empirically, how MHFA works, for whom, under what conditions, and barriers to its implementation. Given that the enthusiasm and acceptance of MHFA appears widespread, systematic evaluations of its social impact are warranted.Registration: The review protocol has been submitted to the Open Science Framework (View-only link: https://osf.io/rj4uh/?view_only=d1f9f2ed73724b3f8075c0c4581d0d87).
