To address the disproportionate burden of poor mental health among women, we present a community based participatory research (CBPR) model used to develop a women's mental health promotion program for Iranian women.
This is a multi-phase interventional study using a CBPR approach among married women age 18-65 living in Tehran. First, participants described the process of women's mental health. Subsequent steps involved participatory needs assessment, priority setting, intervention design, and evaluation. Finally, a conceptual model of women's mental health promotion was developed.
"Seeking comfort" emerged as the core process in women's mental health. To promote mental health, women prioritized training on coping mechanisms to deal with stress. Women receiving this training used more problem-based coping methods and reported a higher quality of life than the comparison group.
The resulting conceptual model illustrates the utility of using a CBPR approach to develop women's mental health promotion programs.
为解决女性心理健康问题负担过重的情况，我们提出一种基于社区的参与性研究（CBPR）模式，该模式用于为伊朗女性制定心理健康促进项目。
这是一项多阶段干预性研究，采用CBPR方法，研究对象为居住在德黑兰的18至65岁已婚女性。首先，参与者描述了女性心理健康的过程。后续步骤包括参与性需求评估、确定优先事项、干预设计和评估。最后，制定了女性心理健康促进的概念模型。
“寻求安慰”成为女性心理健康的核心过程。为促进心理健康，女性将应对压力的应对机制培训列为优先事项。接受该培训的女性使用了更多基于问题的应对方法，并且报告的生活质量高于对照组。
由此产生的概念模型说明了使用CBPR方法制定女性心理健康促进项目的效用。
