Brief Summary:
Stigma towards people with mental health problems is a serious public health problem that limits access to treatment and social participation in addition to being considered the main barrier to inclusion and quality of health care This stigma also affects students and health professionals impacting the quality of care and help seeking in mental health In this context it is necessary to develop innovative and effective interventions among university students to reduce this stigma and promote an inclusive and recovery-based approach
The aim of the present research project is to analyze the effect of a mentoring program on levels of stigma and mental health help-seeking intention in psychology and nursing students This three-session mentoring program is based on experiential learning and has been validated and adapted to our country The mentors professionals with lived experience in mental health will provide knowledge and experiences to the students through direct contact sessions in the classroom focusing especially on the processes of recovery and self-determination
Research question What is the effect of a mentoring program on levels of stigma and mental health help-seeking intention in health care students
Within the dependent variables of the study are the measurement of levels of stigma and mental health help-seeking intention in students The independent variables will be the type of group experimental and control age gender and career
Methodology Quantitative study including the participation of health students in the experimental and control groups The sample size was determined using the GPower software After approval by the institutional ethics committee and signature of the informed consent of the participants the mentoring program will be implemented in the classroom For this purpose the levels of stigma and intention to seek mental health help in both groups will be measured using nationally and internationally validated instruments before after and at 4 weeks Data analysis will be performed using a mixed ANOVA model to compare pre- and post-intervention outcomes between the two groups
The present study will provide valuable evidence on the effectiveness of mentoring-based interventions in reducing stigma in health care students a key group in the future provision of care for people with mental health problems The results will also lay the groundwork for larger-scale studies to assess the impact of the intervention in other groups and settings with the potential to significantly improve the quality of care and well-being of patients and their families
