简要总结
Self-harm is now seen as an epidemic affecting young people across the world and particularly in low and middle-income countries (LMIC) such as Pakistan. Young people in Pakistan often come across many troubles such as mental health and family problems, stress at school and social and economic inequalities. A youth suicide prevention programme is needed in Pakistan. Such programme will be based on secondary schools (where most young people are) and will support schools to work together with many public agencies to tackle the full range of troubles that young people face. Our main research aim is to work together with multiple stakeholders to culturally adapt and test the feasibility of three SEPAK interventions to prevent suicide among students in secondary schools in Pakistan (aged 12 to 17 years).
详细描述
There will be two research phases. In the first phase,
- Four preventative interventions will be selected and translated after reviewing the international literature on youth suicide prevention programmes (e.g. SEYLE trial in Europe);
- Focus groups will be undertaken with multiple stakeholders (students, teachers/staff at secondary schools, parents and health professionals) to decide on adaptations needed to the four selected interventions;
- Adapted versions the four preventative SEPAK interventions will be produced after incorporating the modifications recommended by the focus groups with stakeholders.
In the second phase, the feasibility and acceptability of the four preventative SEPAK interventions will be examined in 4 secondary schools (each site) and one control group (each site) across 8 cities in Pakistan. The four preventative interventions will involve i. Delivering workshops for students at secondary schools to raise awareness on mental health and stresses that students face.
ii. Training school teachers/workers to act as facilitators and identify troubled students iii. Training parents to act as facilitators and identify and support troubled young people iv. Training of health professionals who work with young people to systematically use cut-off scores of established psychometric tools for referring young people to mental and social care services. Six posters on mental health awareness will display in the classrooms of the school allocated to the control group.
