Abstract

The growing mental health needs and constrained resources in low- and middle-income countries necessitate scalable solutions. Single Session Therapy (SST) is a global trend in brief and cost-effective options for mental health interventions. It involves a single planned session between mental health service provider and client. This study aims to present a protocol to develop and evaluate a culture specific web-based training program to equip mental health support providers with the skills and confidence to deliver SST. The study protocol uses a mixed-methods evaluation design through three phases-need assessment - where psychologists and social workers collaborate to identify training needs and co-create the program; development and expert validation of the web-based training program; and randomized control trial to evaluate the training, followed by in-depth discussions with participants. This study breaks new ground by empirically designing and evaluating a training program for SST. It uniquely co-designs and validates a culturally sensitive SST training program, leveraging the expertise of a renowned international panel. This protocol goes beyond a blueprint for replicating this study, it serves as a foundational guide for nations seeking to implement effective SST training for their mental health professionals, preventing duplication of efforts.

基于网络的心理健康支持提供者单次治疗培训:一种混合方法评估研究方案
低收入和中等收入国家日益增长的精神卫生需求和有限的资源需要可扩展的解决办法。单次治疗(SST)是一种短期和具有成本效益的精神卫生干预选择的全球趋势。它涉及心理健康服务提供者和客户之间的一次计划会议。本研究旨在提出一套方案,以发展和评估一种文化特定的基于网络的培训计划,使心理健康支持提供者具备提供SST的技能和信心。该研究方案通过三个阶段采用混合方法评估设计:需求评估——心理学家和社会工作者合作确定培训需求并共同创建项目;网络培训计划的开发和专家验证;并进行随机对照试验,评估培训效果,随后与参与者进行深入讨论。本研究通过实证设计和评估海表技术培训方案,开辟了新的研究领域。它独特地共同设计和验证了一个具有文化敏感性的SST培训计划,充分利用了知名国际小组的专业知识。本议定书不仅仅是复制本研究的蓝图,它是寻求对其精神卫生专业人员实施有效的SST培训的国家的基础指南,防止工作重复。
