Primary health workers play a critical role in providing health education to people with mental disorders. In China community health workers working with people with mental health problems lack experience and training in this area. Additionally, coordination between hospital and community staff is not well established. The aim of this study was to provide an interdisciplinary community mental health training program and to evaluate the effect of the training on staff knowledge about mental health and confidence in their roles.
A three-day community mental health training program was offered specifically for interdisciplinary mental health professionals. Using a one-group pre-test post-test design, participants completed a self-assessment of mental health concepts and program evaluation which included asking participants to rate their satisfaction using a five-point Likert scale and to respond to open-ended questions.
Forty-eight participants including health professionals from colleges, hospital and community health centers were recruited. Only 8.7% of participants had ever received community mental health training. Post-test evaluation demonstrated improvements in knowledge, and most participants were very satisfied with the program.
The findings indicate that this brief interdisciplinary training program had a positive effect in improving knowledge about community mental health concepts and confidence in dealing with people with mental health disorders for multidisciplinary staff working in primary health care areas.
基层卫生工作者在为精神障碍患者提供健康教育方面发挥着关键作用。在中国，与精神健康问题患者打交道的社区卫生工作者在这一领域缺乏经验和培训。此外，医院和社区工作人员之间的协调也尚未完善。本研究的目的是提供一个跨学科的社区心理健康培训项目，并评估该培训对工作人员心理健康知识以及其对自身角色信心的影响。
为跨学科的心理健康专业人员专门提供了一个为期三天的社区心理健康培训项目。采用单组前后测设计，参与者完成了心理健康概念的自我评估和项目评估，其中包括要求参与者使用五点李克特量表对他们的满意度进行评分，并回答开放式问题。
招募了48名参与者，包括来自院校、医院和社区卫生中心的卫生专业人员。只有8.7%的参与者曾接受过社区心理健康培训。后测评估显示知识有所提高，并且大多数参与者对该项目非常满意。
研究结果表明，这个简短的跨学科培训项目对改善基层卫生保健领域多学科工作人员关于社区心理健康概念的知识以及与精神健康障碍患者打交道的信心产生了积极影响。
