Abstract

Employees with mental health conditions often struggle to remain in employment. During the COVID-19 pandemic, these employees faced additional stressors, including worsening mental health and work productivity. In 2020, as part of a larger programme of work called the Mental Health and Productivity Pilot (MHPP), we developed a new early intervention (MENTOR) that jointly involved employees, managers, and a new professional (Mental Health Employment Liaison Worker, MHELW). The intervention involved trained MHELWs delivering ten sessions to employees with existing mental health conditions and managers (three individual sessions and four joint sessions) over twelve weeks. These sessions aimed to improve psychological flexibility, interpersonal relationships, and engagement of employees. This feasibility randomised controlled trial aimed to examine the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention from the perspective of employees and managers using a mixed methods approach. The intervention was largely considered feasible and acceptable. Initial findings suggest there may be benefits for employees productivity, mental health, and managers' mental health knowledge. Logistical challenges acted as a barrier to the participation of employees and managers in the trial and their retention throughout its duration. The major strengths of this study were the co-design and inter-disciplinary approach taken. Overall, findings suggest that this novel intervention has potential but needs some adjustments and testing in a larger sample.

支持雇主及其患有精神疾病的员工保持工作热情和生产力(MENTOR):可行性随机对照试验
患有精神疾病的员工往往很难继续就业。在 COVID-19 大流行期间,这些员工面临着额外的压力,包括心理健康和工作效率的恶化。2020 年,作为一项名为 "心理健康与生产力试点"(MHPP)的大型工作计划的一部分,我们开发了一种新的早期干预措施(MENTOR),由员工、管理人员和新的专业人员(心理健康就业联络工作者(MHELW))共同参与。这项干预措施包括由训练有素的心理健康就业联络员在 12 周内为有心理健康问题的员工和管理人员提供 10 次培训(3 次单独培训和 4 次联合培训)。这些课程旨在提高员工的心理灵活性、人际关系和参与度。这项可行性随机对照试验旨在采用混合方法,从员工和管理人员的角度考察干预措施的可行性和可接受性。干预措施在很大程度上被认为是可行和可接受的。初步研究结果表明,员工的工作效率、心理健康和管理者的心理健康知识都可能从中受益。后勤方面的挑战阻碍了试验参与者的参与和保留。这项研究的主要优点是采用了共同设计和跨学科的方法。总体而言,研究结果表明,这种新颖的干预措施具有潜力,但需要进行一些调整,并在更大的样本中进行测试。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Contextual Behavioral Science is the official journal of the Association for Contextual Behavioral Science (ACBS). Contextual Behavioral Science is a systematic and pragmatic approach to the understanding of behavior, the solution of human problems, and the promotion of human growth and development. Contextual Behavioral Science uses functional principles and theories to analyze and modify action embedded in its historical and situational context. The goal is to predict and influence behavior, with precision, scope, and depth, across all behavioral domains and all levels of analysis, so as to help create a behavioral science that is more adequate to the challenge of the human condition.
