Mental health complaints occur frequently among healthcare workers. A workers' health surveillance mental health module (WHS-MH) was found to be effective in improving work functioning of nurses, although not implemented regularly. Therefore, training for occupational physicians and nurses to facilitate the implementation of WHS-MH was developed and evaluated.
This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of training on knowledge, self-efficacy and motivation to implement WHS-MH, and to evaluate participants' satisfaction with the training.
Three-hour training was held among 49 occupational physicians and nurses in the Netherlands. Effect on knowledge, self-efficacy and motivation was assessed using knowledge tests and questionnaires before and immediately after the training. Satisfaction with the training was measured using questionnaires after the training.
A mean knowledge test score of 5.3 (SD = 1.6) was found before training, which did not significantly increase after training (M = 5.6, SD = 1.8). In total, 43% agreed or strongly agreed to have sufficient skills to implement WHS-MH, which significantly increased to 78% after the training. Furthermore, 87% agreed or strongly agreed to be motivated to initiate WHS, which significantly increased to 94% after the training. The majority of participants were satisfied with the training.
Training may enhance the implementation of the WHS-MH through increasing self-efficacy and motivation. However, no effect on level of knowledge to implement WHS-MH was found.
精神健康问题在医护人员中经常出现。一项工人健康监测心理健康模块（WHS-MH）的研究发现，它可以有效地改善护士的工作功能，尽管没有定期实施。因此，开发并评估了针对职业医生和护士的培训，以促进 WHS-MH 的实施。
本研究旨在评估培训对实施 WHS-MH 的知识、自我效能和动机的影响，并评估参与者对培训的满意度。
在荷兰，对 49 名职业医生和护士进行了 3 小时的培训。在培训前后使用知识测试和问卷评估知识、自我效能和动机的影响。培训后通过问卷评估满意度。
培训前的平均知识测试得分为 5.3（SD = 1.6），培训后并未显著增加（M = 5.6，SD = 1.8）。总共有 43%的人同意或强烈同意有足够的技能来实施 WHS-MH，培训后这一比例显著增加到 78%。此外，87%的人同意或强烈同意有动力启动 WHS，培训后这一比例显著增加到 94%。大多数参与者对培训感到满意。
培训可以通过提高自我效能和动机来促进 WHS-MH 的实施。然而，培训对实施 WHS-MH 的知识水平没有影响。
