To explore the literature describing the delivery and assessment of Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training among university students.
The databases MEDLINE, PreMEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, ERIC, and PsycINFO were searched to identify publications describing MHFA training and assessment among university students since 2000.
All studies, regardless of design, that described the delivery and assessment of MHFA training among university students, at any level, were included in this systematic review.
The discipline and level of students; the version, length, and integration of MHFA training; and the constructs used to assess students post-MHFA training were extracted from each study.
Of the initial 1662 records, 12 were included. Eight studies were conducted in Australia, 3 in the United States, and 1 in the United Kingdom. Most students were enrolled in health care or social work degree programs across all years of their program with 4 studies involving pharmacy students. Three studies described integrating compulsory MHFA training for university students. Most studies reported on the delivery of the Standard or Adult version of MHFA training; no study reported on MHFA for Tertiary Students. Post-MHFA training, students were assessed on mental health knowledge, literacy, intentions, confidence, stigma, and skills application. Only 2 studies described assessment methods involving direct observation of behaviors, whereas the rest relied on self-reported measurements.
Despite the spread of MHFA to over 25 countries and the availability of tertiary student-specific training, the studies included in this systematic review were conducted in only 3 countries and mainly involved Standard and Adult MHFA training. Most assessments relied on self-reported measures. Future studies involving different versions of MHFA training, and the exploration of novel competency-based assessment methods among a diverse range of students from different countries are warranted.
探索描述在大学生中开展心理健康急救（MHFA）培训的文献。
检索了 MEDLINE、PreMEDLINE、CINAHL、EMBASE、ERIC 和 PsycINFO 数据库，以确定自 2000 年以来描述大学生 MHFA 培训和评估的出版物。
所有研究，无论设计如何，只要描述了大学生 MHFA 培训的交付和评估，都包括在本系统评价中。
从每项研究中提取了学科和学生水平、MHFA 培训的版本、长度和整合、以及用于评估学生 MHFA 培训后情况的构建。
在最初的 1662 条记录中，有 12 条被纳入。8 项研究在澳大利亚进行，3 项在美国进行，1 项在英国进行。大多数学生在其整个学业期间都在攻读医疗保健或社会工作学位课程，其中 4 项研究涉及药学学生。有 3 项研究描述了对大学生进行强制性 MHFA 培训。大多数研究报告了标准或成人版 MHFA 培训的交付情况；没有研究报告 MHFA 用于高等学生。在 MHFA 培训后，学生的心理健康知识、读写能力、意图、信心、耻辱感和技能应用能力都得到了评估。只有 2 项研究描述了涉及行为直接观察的评估方法，而其余研究则依赖于自我报告的测量。
尽管 MHFA 已在 25 个以上国家推广，并且有专门针对高等学生的培训，但本系统评价中纳入的研究仅在 3 个国家进行，主要涉及标准和成人 MHFA 培训。大多数评估依赖于自我报告的措施。未来的研究需要涉及不同版本的 MHFA 培训，并在来自不同国家的不同学生群体中探索新的基于能力的评估方法。
