Abstract

Student mental health issues remain a significant global concern, imposing considerable health, social, and economic burdens. China has also published numerous national policies prioritizing this area. To further investigate the current prevention and intervention programs, we conducted a scoping review, searching six databases (three in English and three in Chinese) up to May 2024. A total of 77 eligible studies were included. Our findings highlight several gaps in current practices, such as regional disparities in school-based mental health programs, insufficient focus on younger children and developmental issues, limited comprehensive pathways from screening to classification, prevention, and intervention, and a lack of an integrated approach to promoting mental health among children and adolescents. These findings indicate an urgent need for improvements in this field, calling for future studies to help reduce the burden of mental health problems and support the holistic development of children in China.

中国学校心理健康预防和干预策略：范围界定综述

学生心理健康问题仍然是全球关注的一个重要问题，给健康、社会和经济都带来了相当大的负担。中国也发布了许多优先关注这一领域的国家政策。为了进一步调查当前的预防和干预项目，我们进行了一次范围界定综述，检索了截至 2024 年 5 月的六个数据库（三个英文数据库和三个中文数据库）。共纳入了 77 项符合条件的研究。我们的研究结果凸显了当前实践中存在的一些不足，如校本心理健康项目的地区差异，对低龄儿童和发育问题的关注不够，从筛查到分类、预防和干预的综合途径有限，以及缺乏促进儿童和青少年心理健康的综合方法。这些研究结果表明，这一领域亟需改进，并呼吁今后开展研究，以帮助减轻中国儿童心理健康问题的负担，支持儿童的全面发展。
