Abstract

Background: Paediatricians can be empowered to address the Priority Mental Health Disorders at primary care level. To evaluate the effectiveness of a collaborative workshop in enhancing the adolescent psychiatry knowledge among paediatricians.

Methods: A 3-day, 27-hours workshop was held for paediatricians from different regions of India under the auspices of the National Adolescent Paediatric Task Force of the Indian Academy of Paediatrics. A 5-item pretest-posttest questionnaire was developed and administered at the beginning and end of the workshop to evaluate the participants' knowledge acquisition in adolescent psychiatry. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed on an intention-to-participate basis.

Results: Forty-eight paediatricians completed the questionnaire. There was significant enhancement of the knowledge in understanding the phenomenology, identifying the psychopathology, diagnosing common mental disorder and selecting the psychotropic medication in the bivariate analysis. When the possible confounders of level of training in paediatrics and number of years spent as paediatrician were controlled, in addition to the above areas of adolescent psychiatry, the diagnostic ability involving multiple psychological concepts also gained significance. However, both in the bivariate and multivariate analyses, the ability to refer to appropriate psychotherapy remained unchanged after the workshop.

Conclusions: This workshop was effective in enhancing the adolescent psychiatry knowledge of paediatricians. Such workshops could strengthen paediatricians in addressing the priority mental health disorders at the primary-care level in countries with low-human resource for health as advocated by the World Health Organization. However, it remains to be seen if this acquisition of adolescent psychiatry knowledge results in enhancing their adolescent psychiatry practice.

加强儿科医生项目2:在卫生人力资源匮乏的国家解决青少年优先心理健康障碍问题讲习班的有效性。
背景:可以授权儿科医生在初级保健一级处理优先精神卫生障碍。评估合作工作坊在提高儿科医师青少年精神病学知识方面的有效性。方法:在印度儿科学会全国青少年儿科工作队的主持下,为来自印度不同地区的儿科医生举办了为期3天,27小时的讲习班。在研讨会开始和结束时,我们制作了一份包含5个项目的前测后测问卷来评估参与者在青少年精神病学方面的知识获取情况。在参与意向基础上进行双变量和多变量分析。结果:48名儿科医生完成了问卷调查。在双变量分析中,对现象学的认识、对精神病理的认识、对常见精神障碍的诊断、对精神药物的选择等方面的知识均有显著提高。当控制了儿科培训水平和儿科医师年数等可能的混杂因素后,除上述青少年精神病学领域外,涉及多种心理概念的诊断能力也具有重要意义。然而,在双变量和多变量分析中,在研讨会之后,参考适当的心理治疗的能力保持不变。结论:本次研讨会对提高儿科医师的青少年精神病学知识有较好的效果。这些讲习班可以加强儿科医生按照世界卫生组织的主张,在卫生人力资源不足的国家处理初级保健一级的优先精神健康障碍问题。然而,这种青少年精神病学知识的获取是否会提高他们的青少年精神病学实践,还有待观察。
