- Nurses’ perspective about the Mental Health First Aid Training Programmes for adolescents in upper secondary schools: A focus group studyPublication . Costa, Tiago Filipe Oliveira; Sampaio, Francisco Miguel Correia; Sequeira, Carlos; Lluch Canut, María Teresa; Moreno Poyato, Antonio RafaelIntroduction: Mental Health First Aid Training Programmes performed by nurses can empower adolescents to aid people with mental health problems. There do not appear to be any studies that describe these healthier interventions aimed at adolescents in upper secondary schools. The development of these educational interventions benefits from the input of their participants and facilitators. Aim: To explore the perspective of nurses about Mental Health First Aid Training Programmes for adolescents in upper secondary schools. Method: A qualitative, descriptive and exploratory study was conducted. Data were collected from seven mental health nurses during two focus group sessions. Data were analysed using content analysis. Results: Twelve themes were identified around nine main areas: facilitators, intervention foci, outcomes assessment methods, process assessment methods, participants, implementation context, duration and frequency, intervention methods and strategies, and contents. Discussion: Mental health nurses can regularly perform these classroom interventions to improve the mental health competencies of adolescents. Various educational methods can facilitate learning related to mental health literacy components, mental health nursing problems and the first aid plan. Valid and appropriate assessment methods enhance a good representation of these interventions. Implications for Practice: This evidence can guide the creation and modelling of these first aid training programmes
- Nurses’ promotion of Mental Health First Aid Training Programmes for upper secondary students: a modified Delphi approachPublication . Costa, Tiago Filipe Oliveira; Moreno Poyato, Antonio Rafael; Sampaio, Francisco; Lluch Canut, María Teresa; Sequeira, CarlosBackground Mental Health First Aid Training Programmes can be carried out by nurses in schools. Adolescents have reported the importance of these interventions, the contents to be addressed, and intervention strategies that should be used. Mental health nurses have also discussed the characteristics of these training programmes. This study sought to create a consensus on the features of Mental Health First Aid Training Programmes promoted by nurses aimed at upper secondary students. Methods A descriptive mixed method study was developed using the modified e-Delphi technique. Original statements on the topic were drawn from the results section of previous studies with nurses and adolescents. The statements were included in a structured online questionnaire. An expert panel of 78 mental health nurses participated in the two-rounds online survey from October to December 2021. Absolute and relative frequencies of responses were analysed. The experts’ comments were also considered. Results In the first round, experts suggested 4 new ideas about training programmes. Experts took a position on a total of 59 declarations. At least 75% of participants agreed with 58 statements about training programmes, namely about facilitators, intervention foci, evaluation methodology, participants, the implementation context, period and regularity, intervention strategies and content. The experts’ opinions differed only in one statement that expressed the impaired sexual behaviour as a mental health problem to be addressed in the training programmes. Conclusions Mental health nurses can lead the delivery of training programmes in upper secondary schools, improving adolescent competencies in mental health. Several educational approaches can be used to teach about mental health, related problems and actions underlying these conditions. Valid and appropriate assessment methods must be used. Our findings guide the planning, implementation and evaluation of these interventions in upper secondary schools and encourage nurses to explore these programmes and include them in their educational curricula.
- Primeira ajuda em Saúde Mental: Uma scoping reviewPublication . Costa, Tiago Filipe Oliveira; Sequeira, Carlos AlbertoIntrodução: A Primeira Ajuda em Saúde Mental tem sido definida como a ajuda prestada a uma pessoa a desenvolver um problema de saúde mental ou a vivenciar uma crise de saúde mental. A primeira ajuda é dada até que a ajuda profissional apropriada seja recebida ou que a situação de crise seja resolvida. Por sua vez, a divulgação das competências de primeira ajuda em saúde mental tem interesse para os enfermeiros, considerando que esses profissionais desempenham um papel importante na promoção da literacia em saúde. Objetivo: Mapear programas de Primeira Ajuda em Saúde Mental, com a identificação das suas características, participantes, contextos de implementação e focos de intervenção passíveis de uma resposta positiva. Métodos: Realizou-se uma scoping review, orientada pelas guidelines do Instituto Joanna Briggs e pelo PRISMA-ScR. A pesquisa foi realizada em bases de dados, repositórios científicos e em listas de referência. Os estudos selecionados descrevem programas de divulgação de competências básicas de primeira ajuda em saúde mental, sem restrição dos participantes e dos contextos. Incluíram-se estudos publicados e não publicados, de 2009 a 2019, escritos em língua inglesa, portuguesa ou espanhola. Os dados foram extraídos a partir de um instrumento desenvolvido pelos investigadores, alinhado com o objetivo e questões de revisão. Foi realizada síntese dos resultados sob a forma de representações visuais, em formato narrativo e tabelas. Resultados e Discussão: Foram incluídos 252 estudos na revisão. Identificaram-se múltiplos programas de intervenção, com diferentes denominações, características, contextos e participantes. Por sua vez, os focos das intervenções parecem traduzir focos de enfermagem. Conclusões: A dispersão do conhecimento sobre programas de Primeira Ajuda em Saúde Mental foi confirmada. Por sua vez, a construção de uma base de evidência permite o futuro desenvolvimento da Primeira Ajuda em Saúde Mental como programa de intervenção de Enfermagem.
- A qualitative study exploring adolescents' perspective about Mental Health First Aid Training Programmes promoted by nurses in upper secondary schoolsPublication . Costa, Tiago Filipe Oliveira; Sampaio, Francisco Miguel Correia; Sequeira, Carlos; Lluch Canut, María Teresa; Moreno Poyato, Antonio RafaelMental Health First Aid Training Programmes are educational interventions that aim to disseminate basic first aid skills in the community. Adolescents in the context of their secondary school education are a particularly appropriate population for literacy promotion interventions. This study explores adolescents’ perspectives on Mental Health First Aid Training Programmes promoted by nurses in Portuguese upper secondary schools. A qualitative and exploratory study was conducted. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 12 adolescents who participated voluntarily and with the consent of their parents. Data were analysed using content analysis. Fourteen themes were identified around three main areas: (i) Relevance of training programmes, (ii) Content of training programmes and (iii) Intervention methods of training programmes. The results obtained indicate that adolescents consider Mental Health First Aid Training Programmes in school relevant and necessary. Adolescents identified the content they deemed most appropriate and how it could be taught. These results can guide the development of training programmes. Nurses should take the lead in implementing these

- Review of Mental Health First Aid ProgramsPublication . Costa, Tiago Filipe Oliveira; Sampaio, Francisco Miguel Correia; Sequeira, Carlos; Carvalho Ribeiro, Isilda Maria Oliveira; Parola, Vitor Sérgio de OliveiraMental health first aid programs are interventions to empower the community to help people with mental health problems/ crises. A review of these programs was conducted in accordance with the guidelines of the Joanna Briggs Institute. Published and unpublished works from 2009 to 2019 were considered. The review included 252 studies. Several Mental Health First Aid programs were identified, with varying characteristics, participants, and contexts of implementation. These group interventions were carried out among lay people to health professionals, and in adolescents to the elderly. Additionally, they were conducted in-person and/or virtually, using psychoeducational methods and informational materials. The programs ranged from 30 minutes to 24 hours. These interventions can address nursing foci, and the characteristics of the facilitators are similar to those of mental health nurses. Therefore, this review highlighted the opportunity for nurses to explore Mental Health First Aid programs.
