Abstract

ABSTRACT Background: With the rapid rise in technology, digital mental health interventions (DMHIs) have been created across a range of platforms. Despite mixed consensus about their effectiveness and uptake, they may play a pivotal role in addressing barriers to accessing mental health support particularly, for adolescents. It is important to understand teachers’ and health professionals’ attitudes towards adolescent mental health and DMHIs as they may play key roles in supporting this population. Aim: The study aimed to explore teachers’ and health professionals’ attitudes on adolescent mental health and DMHIs. Method: A 2020 anonymous online survey consisting of five open-ended questions and one closed question was undertaken by a total of 98 participants (49 college teachers, 23 health school teachers, 21 psychologists, 3 school counsellors, and 2 social workers). Results: Teachers and health professionals identified the need for DMHIs to support adolescents in New Zealand with their mental health. Teachers and health professionals shared similar views about the advantages of using DMHIs including increasing the accessibility of treatment and the need to use various approaches. Although participants expressed concerns about the lack of face-to-face contact with DMHIs, many were optimistic about using them. Conclusion: Teachers’ and health professionals’ attitudes towards adolescent mental health and DMHIs are important to consider when understanding the role these tools may play in school and therapeutic settings.

教师和卫生专业人员对青少年心理健康和数字化心理健康干预措施的态度
背景:随着技术的快速发展,数字心理健康干预(DMHIs)已经在一系列平台上创建。尽管对其有效性和接受程度的共识不一,但它们可能在解决获得心理健康支持的障碍方面发挥关键作用,特别是对青少年而言。重要的是要了解教师和卫生专业人员对青少年心理健康和DMHIs的态度,因为他们可能在支持这一人群方面发挥关键作用。目的:探讨教师和卫生专业人员对青少年心理健康和DMHIs的态度。方法:采用2020年匿名在线问卷调查,共98人(49名高校教师、23名卫生学校教师、21名心理学家、3名学校辅导员、2名社工),问卷包含5个开放式问题和1个封闭式问题。结果:教师和卫生专业人员确定需要DMHIs来支持新西兰青少年的心理健康。教师和保健专业人员对使用DMHIs的好处也有类似的看法,包括增加治疗的可及性和使用各种方法的必要性。虽然与会者对缺乏与dmhi面对面接触表示担忧,但许多人对使用dmhi持乐观态度。结论:教师和卫生专业人员对青少年心理健康和DMHIs的态度在理解这些工具在学校和治疗环境中可能发挥的作用时是重要的考虑因素。视频摘要阅读文本在Vimeo上观看视频
