Mental health promotion among adolescents has been a key area of intervention for professionals working with children and adolescents. The opinions of experts in the field of mental health have taken to frame a trans-disciplinary intervention for adolescent girls on self awareness.
To discuss the development and validation of a structured intervention by combining the knowledge from different disciplines in helping adolescents enhancing self awareness.
Both qualitative and quantitative methodologies were followed for the development and validation of the module. First phase of the development of intervention module was the framing of intervention module after conducting in-depth interviews with experts in both mental health and yoga fields. Six experts each from mental health and yoga field were chosen for interview through convenient sampling. Validated interview guides were used for the process. The framed intervention module was given to six mental health experts and six yoga experts for content validation. The experts rated the usefulness of the intervention on a scale 0-4 (4=extremely helpful).
The themes derived in the interviews were importance of self awareness, autonomy of self, physical level of self understanding, self regulation of emotions and self monitoring. The interviews were consolidated to frame the intervention module consisting of eight sessions having two parts in each session. Part one of each session is activities and interactions on mental health and part two is guided instructions for body focused meditation. Sessions were finalized with rating and suggestions from the experts. The final version of the module was pilot tested and had found to have enhanced self awareness among adolescent girls.
Integration of multiple disciplines brought in novel perspectives in intervention.

讨论通过整合不同学科的知识来帮助青少年增强自我意识的结构化干预措施的开发和验证。
采用定性和定量方法来开发和验证该模块。干预模块开发的第一阶段是在对心理健康和瑜伽领域的专家进行深入访谈后构建干预模块。通过便利抽样选择了心理健康和瑜伽领域各六位专家进行访谈。使用经过验证的访谈指南进行该过程。将构建好的干预模块交给六位心理健康专家和六位瑜伽专家进行内容验证。专家们以0至4分的量表对干预措施的有用性进行评分（4分表示极其有帮助）。
访谈中得出的主题有自我意识的重要性、自我自主性、自我理解的身体层面、情绪的自我调节和自我监测。访谈内容被整合起来构建干预模块，该模块由八个单元组成，每个单元有两个部分。每个单元的第一部分是关于心理健康的活动和互动，第二部分是针对身体冥想的指导说明。根据专家的评分和建议确定了各单元内容。该模块的最终版本进行了试点测试，发现能提高少女的自我意识。
