We discuss the feasibility of a brief, online mental health promotion programme for tertiary students and establish recommendations for future programmes.
The programme 'Student Elevenses' was delivered at a tertiary education institution. 'Student Elevenses' aimed to promote student wellbeing during the coronavirus disease 2019 crisis, comprised of 10-15-min daily online micro-interventions targeting six lifestyle areas for wellbeing, and was delivered via video conference. Upon programme completion, all students were invited to complete barriers to engagement survey, irrespective of whether they had attended or heard of the programme. Descriptive statistics were calculated for demographics, as well as feasibility and acceptability outcomes including recruitment rates, attendance rates and reported barriers to attendance. Open-ended questions were coded for themes.
Less than 1% of those who consented to participate actually attended the programme, with attendance ranging from 2 to 17 participants. Participants were predominantly female (68%), domestic students (81%) and had a mean age of 29.5 years. The barriers students reported included fixed time, online format, a belief programme would not be helpful, preference for existing supports and perceived impacts of coronavirus disease 2019. Students recommended embedding support within policies/teaching, offering a range of supports and involving students in design.
Barriers to mental health promotion via telehealth should be considered to promote accessibility and acceptability for tertiary students. Future programmes should consider reaching students through mandatory activities (e.g. lectures, tutorials) and should include student consultation and co-design to support the development of programmes that meet student needs and preferences.
我们探讨了为大学生开展简短在线心理健康促进项目的可行性，并为未来项目提出建议。
“学生早茶时光”项目在一所高等教育机构实施。“学生早茶时光”旨在在2019年冠状病毒病危机期间促进学生的幸福感，包括针对六个促进幸福感的生活方式领域的每日10 - 15分钟在线微干预，并通过视频会议进行。项目结束后，所有学生都被邀请完成参与障碍调查，无论他们是否参加过或听说过该项目。计算了人口统计学的描述性统计数据，以及可行性和可接受性结果，包括招募率、出勤率和报告的出勤障碍。对开放式问题进行主题编码。
同意参与的人中实际参加该项目的不到1%，出勤人数从2人到17人不等。参与者主要为女性（68%）、本地学生（81%），平均年龄为29.5岁。学生报告的障碍包括固定时间、在线形式、认为项目无帮助、偏好现有支持以及2019年冠状病毒病的感知影响。学生建议将支持纳入政策/教学中，提供一系列支持并让学生参与设计。
应考虑远程医疗促进心理健康的障碍，以提高大学生的可及性和可接受性。未来的项目应考虑通过强制性活动（如讲座、辅导课）接触学生，并应包括学生咨询和共同设计，以支持开发满足学生需求和偏好的项目。
