Abstract

Mental health become a public health concern because of its rising prevalence and severe consequences. Adolescents who are attending university are the most vulnerable to mental health problems. Students, particularly in health science programs, perceive themselves as more stressed than students in other science disciplines. As a result, strategies for preventing mental disorders, beginning with an in-depth grasp of mental health literacy, can lead to improved mental health outcomes. The purpose of this study is to figure out the aspects of mental health literacy among health students. This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The research variables were mental health literacy and respondent characteristics. Three hundred ninety-nine samples were recruited using accidental techniques. Data analysis used descriptive and Mann-Whitney tests. The results revealed that the mental health literacy category was lower (54.4%) than the high category (45.6%).  Statistical tests showed no significant difference in mental health literacy among respondent characteristics (p>0.05). This study's practical implications include improving mental health literacy through integration into learning.

Abstract

Mental health constitutes a fundamental and essential component of overall well-being. Particular attention must be given to mental health concerns, especially among vulnerable adolescent populations. Epidemiological data indicate a cyclical rise in the prevalence of mental health problem, which may be mitigated through improved mental health literacy. This study aims to examine the relationship between mental health literacy and mental health status among health students. A cross-sectional survey was conducted involving 380 health students from three health polytechnic institutions. Instruments included the SRQ-20 and the Mental Health Literacy Questionnaire (MHLq-SVa). The findings indicate a statistically significant association between mental health literacy levels and reported symptoms of mental-emotional disorders (p = 0.025). These results underscore the importance of integrating mental health literacy into the health education curriculum to promote early recognition and appropriate help-seeking behaviors.

Abstract

Mental health is an essential part of human life and society. Poor mental health affects well-being, ability to work, and relationships with friends, family, and community. The prevalence of mental health problems is also increasing every year. Mental health literacy can be a key foundation in efforts to prevent chronic mental disorders. This study aimed to identify literature studies on mental health literacy interventions. Articles were searched on search engines (Ebsco, PubMed, Science Direct, and Scopus) by using the keywords mental health literacy, intervention, and adolescents. The inclusion criteria are quantitative research with experimental design on adolescent samples, the last 3 years period 2021-2023 while the exclusion criteria are qualitative, cross-sectional, and pilot studies, adult samples, and research in 2020 and below. 10 articles met the criteria. The results of the literature review show that mental health interventions can improve mental health literacy in adolescents. Recommendations from this literature review can be used as policy material for authorized stakeholders in efforts to promote and prevent mental health in adolescents.

Abstract

Mental health has become one of the non-communicable diseases with a globally increasing prevalence. The negative stigma surrounding mental health remains strong in society, making early intervention crucial in preventing more severe mental disorders. The risk perception in seeking medical help for mental health issues needs to be accompanied by adequate mental health literacy. The research variables consist of risk perception to seek medical help and mental health literacy. This study aimed to examine the correlation between risk perception to seek medical help and mental health literacy using a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. A total of 399 respondents participated in the study, selected using an accidental sampling technique. Data collection was conducted using two scales: the Mental Health Literacy in Young Adults scale and the Risk Perception Scale of Medical Help-Seeking Behaviour. The findings indicate that mental health literacy is predominantly in the high category, while the perceived risk of seeking medical help is mostly in the low category. The chi-square statistical test showed a significance value of 0.009 < 0.05, indicating a significant relationship between mental health literacy and the perceived risk of seeking medical help among health students. The practical outcome of this study is anticipated to support universities in formulating policies centered on preventive and promotive mental health strategies, aiming to improve mental health literacy and reduce perceived risks associated with mental health issues.
