Abstract
Objective: The objective of this systematic review is to explore the experiences of help-seeking among adolescents with depression, with a specific focus on understanding the experiences and exploring the facilitators and barriers related to seeking help for depression.
Introduction: Depression is recognized as a serious mental health problem among adolescents, characterized by its high prevalence and significant burden. Help-seeking plays a crucial role in managing depression, yet little is known about the experiences of adolescents in seeking help for depression.
Inclusion criteria: The review will include studies focused on adolescents aged 10 to 19 years, as well as those with a mean age within this range who are experiencing or have experienced depression. Studies that include experiences of help-seeking for depression, including barriers and facilitators, conducted in diverse settings, including hospitals, health care centers, schools, and participants' homes, will be considered.
Methods: PubMed, Embase (Ovid), CINAHL (EBSCOhost), Cochrane Library (CENTRAL), PsycINFO, Web of Science, Scopus, CNKI (a Chinese medical literature database), and Wan Fang and Wei Pu databases will be systematically searched for articles relevant to participants and experiences. Two independent researchers will select studies, extract data, and critically assess the methodological quality. Meta-aggregation will be utilized to synthesize the data, and the ConQual approach will be applied to establish confidence in the synthesized findings.
