Abstract:
Today, issues related to people\'s mental health and well-being have been described as a challenge for society, globally as well as in Sweden. This calls for new approaches to mental health promotion. The aim was to evaluate the adequacy of its content and structure, describing experiences of study circles as a means of supporting participants\' self-care and self-compassion. The overall design is a descriptive QUAL + quan design, where the quantitative and qualitative results are integrated. Five participants participated in a focus group interview, of whom four completed questionnaires. One individual interview was conducted with the study circle leader. Study circles can be an arena for mental health promotion, as learning and sharing of experience contributes to a sense of coherence, as well as self-compassion and a genuine concern for one\'s own and others\' well-being, but are not considered an alternative to psychiatric care for those in need of professional services. Study circles can be a possible means to support self-care and thereby promote mental health in the general population and are a valuable contribution to public health. However, in addition to modifications of the content, further research is needed on the qualifications for study circle leaders, as well as the dissemination of study circles.
摘要:
今天,与人们的心理健康和福祉有关的问题被描述为对社会的挑战,在全球以及瑞典。这需要新的方法来促进心理健康。目的是评估其内容和结构的充分性,将学习圈的经历描述为支持参与者的自我照顾和自我同情的一种手段。总体设计是描述性的QUAL+quan设计,将定量和定性结果整合在一起。五名参与者参加了焦点小组访谈,其中有4人完成了问卷。与研究圈负责人进行了一次单独的访谈。学习圈可以成为促进心理健康的舞台,因为学习和分享经验有助于一致性,以及自我同情和真正关心自己和他人的幸福,但对于需要专业服务的人来说,不被认为是精神病治疗的替代方案。研究圈可以成为支持自我护理的可能手段,从而促进普通人群的心理健康,并且是对公共卫生的宝贵贡献。然而,除了修改内容,需要进一步研究学习圈领导人的资格,以及学习圈的传播。
