Nurses’ perspective about the Mental Health First Aid Training Programmes for adolescents in upper secondary schools: A focus group study

Abstract

Introduction

Mental Health First Aid Training Programmes performed by nurses can empower adolescents to aid people with mental health problems. There do not appear to be any studies that describe these healthier interventions aimed at adolescents in upper secondary schools. The development of these educational interventions benefits from the input of their participants and facilitators.

Aim

To explore the perspective of nurses about Mental Health First Aid Training Programmes for adolescents in upper secondary schools.

Method

A qualitative, descriptive, and exploratory study was conducted. Data were collected from seven mental health nurses during two focus group sessions. Data were analysed using content analysis.

Results

Twelve themes were identified around nine main areas: facilitators, intervention foci, outcomes assessment methods, process assessment methods, participants, implementation context, duration and frequency, intervention methods and strategies, contents.

Discussion

Mental health nurses can regularly perform these classroom interventions to improve the mental health competencies of adolescents. Various educational methods can facilitate learning related to mental health literacy components, mental health nursing problems, and the first aid plan. Valid and appropriate assessment methods enhance a good representation of these interventions.

Implications for Practice

This evidence can guide the creation and modelling of these first aid training programmes.
