Health literacy is defined as the "ability to obtain, process and understand basic health information and to access health services in order to make informed choices". The concept of Mental Health Literacy (MHL) has been introduced in recent years in order to promote mental health. MHL refers to knowledge and beliefs about mental disorders that facilitate their recognition, management, and prevention. A low level of MHL represents a fundamental barrier to seeking mental health care.
For this review we followed a narrative approach. Papers published between 2013 and 2024 were screened for inclusion. Only 24 articles met the inclusion criteria, all of them were included in the review.
Among the 24 articles included, schools represented a particularly important context for interventions, as adolescents spend much of their time in school and school staff are often the point of reference for young people seeking help and advice. School-based interventions aimed at improving MHL and reducing stigma have the potential to prevent mental disorders and promote mental well-being, ultimately reducing their health, social, and economic burden.
Schools are a key setting for mental health interventions, given the significant time adolescents spend there and their reliance on school staff for support. Enhancing MHL and reducing stigma through school-based programs can prevent mental disorders and promote well-being. Both live and digital interventions have shown effectiveness, though long-term impacts need more study.
健康素养是指“获取、处理和理解基本健康信息以及获取卫生服务以做出明智选择的能力”。近年来，为了促进心理健康，引入了心理健康素养（MHL）的概念。MHL 是指关于精神障碍的知识和信念，有助于识别、管理和预防这些障碍。MHL 水平低是寻求心理健康护理的一个基本障碍。
我们采用叙述性方法进行了这项综述。筛选了 2013 年至 2024 年期间发表的论文，以确定其是否符合纳入标准。只有 24 篇文章符合纳入标准，所有这些文章都包含在综述中。
在纳入的 24 篇文章中，学校是干预的一个特别重要的环境，因为青少年大部分时间都在学校度过，学校工作人员通常是年轻人寻求帮助和建议的首选。旨在提高 MHL 和减少污名化的基于学校的干预措施有可能预防精神障碍和促进心理健康，最终减轻其对健康、社会和经济的负担。
鉴于青少年在学校度过的大量时间以及他们对学校工作人员的依赖，学校是心理健康干预的关键场所。通过基于学校的计划提高 MHL 和减少污名化可以预防精神障碍和促进幸福感。现场和数字干预都已显示出有效性，但长期影响需要更多研究。
