Abstract

Background: Mental health disorders among adolescents are a growing global concern. Adolescents are in a transitional phase that makes them vulnerable to emotional, social, and academic pressures. Mental health education serves as a promising promotive and preventive effort to reduce the prevalence of mental health issues in this age group. This article aims to review the influence of mental health education on reducing the incidence of mental disorders among adolescents based on recent studies. Method: This quantitative study used a pre-experimental design with a one group pretest-posttest approach. A total of 50 adolescents were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire assessing knowledge of mental health before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. Results: The results showed a significant difference in adolescents’ knowledge levels before and after the mental health education (p-value < 0.05). This indicates that the educational intervention effectively enhanced their understanding of mental health. Conclusion: Mental health education is effective in improving adolescents’ knowledge about the importance of maintaining mental health and recognizing early symptoms of mental disorders.

Abstract

Adolescent mental health is a critical issue that affects their quality of life and development. Digital interventions offer an innovative solution to enhance mental health literacy among adolescents. This article to identify the effectiveness of digital educational interventions in improving adolescents' knowledge and attitudes toward early detection of mental health issues. A scoping review was conducted using the PEOS framework. Literature searches were performed in PubMed and ScienceDirect databases for articles published between 2019 and 2024. A total of 15 articles were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Digital interventions, such as school-based applications and social media campaigns, enhanced mental health literacy and reduced stigma related to mental health. Several interventions also improved adolescents' abilities to recognize mental health symptoms and encouraged help-seeking behaviors. However, challenges such as low digital literacy and limited access remain significant barriers to implementation. Digital education effectively improves adolescents' knowledge and attitudes toward early detection of mental health issues. Culturally relevant approaches and stakeholder support are crucial for the program's sustainability.
