Worldwide non-health professionals and volunteers (NHPV) in humanitarian settings assist asylum seekers, and they need to be empowered to recognise and refer people with mental health problems and provide psychosocial support in multicultural contexts. The APT4U2 program, aligned with mental health nurses' competencies, addresses this gap. The aim of this study was to present the development of a standardised training program for NHVP work with young asylum seekers. Following the development phase of the Medical Research Council's Complex Interventions methodology, the study follows the main steps: I - Mapping existing evidence on mental health training programs for NHPV working with asylum seekers and refugees; II - Identifying NHPVs' training needs and experiences and III - Developing the APT4U2 Program. The program underwent validation by eight experts in mental and psychiatric nursing, education, public health and psychology. The APT4U2 Program is prepared for 11 h and consists of three modules and five lessons. The APT4U2 Program is an easy-to-use training program constructed and to be administered by mental health nurses to NHPV who want to work with young asylum seekers. This evidence can guide mental health nurses in training worldwide NHPV who work with asylum seekers.
在人道主义环境中,全球范围内的非卫生专业人员和志愿者(NHPV)协助寻求庇护者,他们需要被赋予权力,以便在多元文化背景下识别和转介有心理健康问题的人,并提供心理社会支持。与心理健康护士的能力相一致的APT4U2项目解决了这一差距。本研究的目的是介绍一项针对NHPV与年轻寻求庇护者合作的标准化培训项目的开发情况。遵循医学研究理事会复杂干预方法的开发阶段,该研究遵循以下主要步骤:一、梳理关于NHPV与寻求庇护者和难民合作的心理健康培训项目的现有证据;二、确定NHPV的培训需求和经验;三、开发APT4U2项目。该项目由八名精神和精神病护理、教育、公共卫生及心理学领域的专家进行了验证。APT4U2项目时长为11小时,包括三个模块和五节课。APT4U2项目是一个易于使用的培训项目,由心理健康护士为希望与年轻寻求庇护者合作的NHPV构建并实施。这一证据可为全球范围内培训与寻求庇护者合作的NHPV的心理健康护士提供指导。
