Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Mental health at the workplace (WMH) is an important indicator for the optimum functioning of a medical institute. To establish an effective WMH, it is essential to understand the level of awareness, perceptions, and felt needs of students and staff of a medical institute regarding mental health services within the campus.
UNASSIGNED: A cross-sectional web-based survey was conducted in an institution of national importance in Central India using a semistructured questionnaire based on Kobo Toolbox. Felt need for periodic mental health screening within the institutional campus (FN-S) and felt need of having a separate cell for mental healthcare of students and employees (FN-C) were analyzed using univariable and multivariable logistic regression.
UNASSIGNED: A total of 526 out of 2190 eligible students and staff completed the survey (response rate 24.1%). About half of the participants were not aware, of whom to contact on campus in case of mental health concerns (MHCs), more than three-fourths were not aware of the rights for seeking treatment, and three-fourths thought that getting diagnosed with an MHC would negatively impact their academic course or work. There was a high felt need for mental health screening services (91.1%), and almost two-thirds felt the need for a separate mental health cell. The FN-S was higher among those from rural areas, those not using social media, those without a preexisting MHC, and those without FN-C. FN-C was higher in those not using social media, those having sleep disturbances, those with unawareness of the rights of a mentally ill person, those without any MHC, and those not having FN-S.
UNASSIGNED: Active efforts are needed to roll out a mental health screening policy and separate mental health cells within the medical institute. Future research should focus on a qualitative inquiry into the details of the above findings.
摘要:
工作场所的心理健康(WMH)是医疗机构最佳运作的重要指标。为了建立有效的WMH,了解意识水平至关重要,感知,并感受到医学院学生和工作人员对校园内心理健康服务的需求。
在印度中部具有国家重要性的机构中,使用基于KoboToolbox的半结构化问卷进行了基于网络的横断面调查。使用单变量和多变量逻辑回归分析了在机构校园(FN-S)内进行定期心理健康筛查的必要性,以及需要为学生和员工(FN-C)建立单独的心理健康细胞的必要性。
在2190名符合条件的学生和教职员工中,共有526人完成了调查(回复率24.1%)。大约一半的参与者不知道,如果有精神健康问题(MHCs),在校园里联系他们,超过四分之三的人不知道寻求治疗的权利,四分之三的人认为被诊断为MHC会对他们的学术课程或工作产生负面影响。对心理健康筛查服务的需求很高(91.1%),近三分之二的人认为需要一个单独的心理健康细胞。来自农村地区的FN-S较高,那些不使用社交媒体的人,那些没有预先存在的MHC的人,和那些没有FN-C。FN-C在不使用社交媒体的人群中更高,那些有睡眠障碍的人,那些不了解精神病患者权利的人,那些没有任何MHC的人,那些没有FN-S的人。
需要积极努力推出心理健康筛查政策,并在医疗机构内分离心理健康细胞。未来的研究应侧重于对上述发现的细节进行定性调查。
