To determine the acceptability and impact of an online, lifestyle-based mental well-being initiative in a school-based setting.
A post-program evaluation survey was administered after the intervention.
Fifty-seven New York State school districts.
Participating school districts invited all employees and community members to register for the intervention. A total of 4083 individuals participated, with 1060 (26%) responding to the post-program survey.
The 7-week intervention (The Lift Project) incorporated strategies from lifestyle medicine, positive psychology and neuroscience literature. The ten lessons included online, video-based content and related experiential learning exercises.
The post-program survey included Likert items that evaluated the participants' perceived program acceptability, mental health enhancement, self-efficacy, and skill acquisition. Inductive thematic qualitative analysis assessed the participants' likes and dislikes concerning the initiative.
A high percentage of respondents indicated that the program improved their well-being (85%), enhanced their well-being-related self-efficacy (92%), and provided them with skills for supporting their long-term mental well-being (82%). Respondents liked the evidence-based, engaging content and design elements and the focus on personal well-being, community connection, and practical applicability. Some respondents desired more social connection, disliked certain design elements, lacked time and experienced technical issues.
The initiative was acceptable and impactful, indicating that school districts may serve as an effective network for addressing the mental health epidemic.
确定在学校环境中一项基于生活方式的在线心理健康倡议的可接受性和影响。
干预结束后进行了项目后评估调查。
纽约州的57个学区。
参与的学区邀请了所有员工和社区成员报名参加干预。共有4083人参与，其中1060人（26%）回复了项目后调查。
为期7周的干预（“提升项目”）纳入了生活方式医学、积极心理学和神经科学文献中的策略。这十节课包括在线视频内容和相关的体验式学习练习。
项目后调查包括李克特量表项目，评估参与者对项目的感知可接受性、心理健康改善、自我效能感和技能获取情况。归纳主题定性分析评估了参与者对该倡议的喜欢和不喜欢之处。
高比例的受访者表示该项目改善了他们的幸福感（85%），增强了他们与幸福感相关的自我效能感（92%），并为他们提供了支持长期心理健康的技能（82%）。受访者喜欢基于证据、引人入胜的内容和设计元素，以及对个人幸福感、社区联系和实际适用性的关注。一些受访者希望有更多的社交联系，不喜欢某些设计元素，缺乏时间并遇到了技术问题。
该倡议是可接受且有影响力的，表明学区可以作为应对心理健康问题流行的有效网络。
