Abstract

Background: First responders (i.e. police and ambulance staff) have increasingly become part of the mental health care system, often being the first port of call for those experiencing a crisis. Despite their frequent involvement in supporting those with mental health problems, there is evidence that mental health stigma is high amongst first responders.

Aims: The aim of the present study was to evaluate a brief training video aimed at reducing mental health stigma amongst first responders.

Methods: First responders watched a training video based on the cognitive behavioural model of mental health stigma, and involved contributions from people with lived experience, and first responders. Measures of mental health stigma were collected before and after viewing the training.

Results: The training video produced small but significant improvements in mental health stigma, and these effects did not differ between police and ambulance staff. We were unable to determine what psychological constructs mediated this change in stigma. The feedback on the training video was generally positive, but also indicated some key areas for future development.

Conclusions: The present study provides encouraging evidence that levels of mental health stigma can be improved using a resource-light training intervention.

对旨在减少急救第一响应者心理健康污名的简短培训视频进行试点评估(ENHANcE II研究)。

背景急救人员（即警察和救护人员）越来越多地成为心理健康护理系统的一部分，通常是那些经历危机的人的第一站。尽管他们经常参与支持那些有心理健康问题的人，但有证据表明，急救人员对心理健康的污名很高。目的本研究的目的是评估一段简短的培训视频，旨在减少急救人员对心理健康的污名。方法第一反应者观看了一段基于心理健康污名认知行为模型的培训视频，其中包括有生活经验的人和第一反应者的贡献。在观看培训前后收集心理健康污名测量。结果培训视频在心理健康污名化方面产生了微小但显著的改善，这些影响在警察和救护人员之间没有差异。我们无法确定是什么心理结构介导了这种耻辱感的变化。对培训视频的反馈总体上是积极的，但也表明了未来发展的一些关键领域。结论：本研究提供了令人鼓舞的证据，表明使用轻资源训练干预可以改善心理健康污名的程度。
