BACKGROUND
A timely search for professional help regarding mental health issues in adolescents is critical in preventing severe disorders. However, adolescents generally tend not to seek help. This investigation aimed to study Chilean adolescents' willingness to seek help in mental health issues by identifying their preferred help-seeking sources.
METHODS
We conducted a cross-sectional-correlational study with 493 high school students between 14 and 19 years of age (mean ± standard deviation = 16.28 ± 1.29). The instruments we used were the general help-seeking questionnaire (vignette version), adapted and validated in Chile, and a sociodemographic questionnaire.
RESULTS
Data showed that adolescents are more willing to seek help from informal rather than from formal sources. We identified no sex differences in terms of willingness to seek help from formal sources. However, males were more willing to seek help from informal sources.
CONCLUSIONS
Similar to other cultures, Chilean adolescents are more willing to seek help from informal sources regarding mental health problems.
背景
及时寻求专业帮助以解决青少年心理健康问题对于预防严重疾病至关重要。然而，青少年通常倾向于不寻求帮助。本调查旨在通过确定智利青少年首选的求助来源来研究他们在心理健康问题上寻求帮助的意愿。
方法
我们对493名年龄在14至19岁之间（平均±标准差=16.28±1.29）的高中生进行了一项横断面相关性研究。我们使用的工具是在智利改编并验证的一般求助问卷（ vignette版本）和一份社会人口统计学问卷。
结果
数据显示，青少年更愿意从非正式而非正式来源寻求帮助。在从正式来源寻求帮助的意愿方面，我们未发现性别差异。然而，男性更愿意从非正式来源寻求帮助。
结论
与其他文化类似，智利青少年在心理健康问题上更愿意从非正式来源寻求帮助。
