Treatment and prevention alone are unlikely to make a significant difference in reducing the burden of poor mental health and mental illness. Therefore, mental health promotion (MHP) initiatives are advocated. In 2014, the ABCs of mental health (ABCs) partnership was established in Denmark; in the partnership, partner organisations, e.g., municipalities and NGOs, use a research-based framework for MHP, the ABC-framework, to develop and implement MHP initiatives. This paper has two aims: (1) to outline the overall characteristics of these MHP initiatives; and (2) to explore local coordinator and stakeholder perceptions of the implementation processes and the impact of the MHP initiatives. Questionnaire surveys, individual interviews and group interviews were conducted during 2017-2020. The MHP initiatives were grouped according to three strategies: building MHP capacity, campaign activities to promote mental health awareness and knowledge and establishing and promoting opportunities to engage in mentally healthy activities. The ABC-framework was positively received and viewed as providing relevant knowledge for working with MHP as well as fostering intersectoral and interprofessional collaborations. However, using a bottom-up approach to develop and implement MHP initiatives can be time-consuming and resource demanding, and it requires a deliberate balancing of local adaptability and concrete guidance when engaging stakeholders and implementers. Overall, using the ABC-framework to develop and implement MHP initiatives holds great promise for advancing and promoting MHP practice.
仅通过治疗和预防不太可能显著降低精神卫生不良和精神疾病的负担。因此,提倡进行精神卫生促进(MHP)活动。2014 年,丹麦成立了心理健康基础知识(ABCs)伙伴关系;在该伙伴关系中,各伙伴组织(如市政府和非政府组织)使用基于研究的 MHP 框架,即 ABC 框架,制定和实施 MHP 活动。本文有两个目的:(1)概述这些 MHP 活动的总体特征;(2)探讨地方协调员和利益相关者对实施过程和 MHP 活动的影响的看法。2017 年至 2020 年期间进行了问卷调查、个人访谈和小组访谈。根据三种策略对 MHP 活动进行了分组:建设 MHP 能力、开展宣传活动以提高对精神卫生的认识和知识、以及建立和推广参与心理健康活动的机会。ABC 框架得到了积极的反馈,被认为提供了与 MHP 合作相关的知识,以及促进了跨部门和跨专业的合作。然而,采用自下而上的方法来制定和实施 MHP 活动可能会耗费时间和资源,并且在与利益相关者和实施者接触时需要审慎平衡地方适应性和具体指导。总的来说,使用 ABC 框架来制定和实施 MHP 活动为推进和促进 MHP 实践提供了很大的潜力。
