摘要

导言:虽然有一些基于网络的心理健康干预措施,但很少有针对高等教育(HE)学生的。重要的是,需要更多的研究来确定其有效性。在此,我们对专门为改善高校学生的心理健康、幸福感和学习技能而设计的在线干预措施(MePlusMe)进行了务实的评估:根据已公布的可行性研究方案,我们招募了 137 名高校学生参加为期八周的干预活动,其中有 26 名参与者在第 8 周时仍在接受干预。我们在基线、2周、4周和8周收集了经过验证的情绪(抑郁和焦虑)、幸福感和自我效能的测量数据,同时还收集了两份反馈表,分别评估设计和功能(基线)以及参与度(第4周和第8周):我们观察到焦虑和抑郁水平明显下降,幸福感有所提高,但自我效能感没有变化。参与者对系统的设计和功能给予了积极评价,定性研究结果表明他们对 MePlusMe 的满意度很高:讨论:研究结果支持 MePlusMe 的可接受性和有效性。然而,适度的保留率限制了这些研究结果的精确性和普遍性。进一步的调查应确定参与的最佳持续时间、最可接受的结果评估方法以及有关使用障碍的更多细节。

Investigating the feasibility of MePlusMe, an online intervention to support mental health, well-being, and study skills in higher education students.

Introduction: While there are several web-based mental health interventions, few target higher education (HE) students. Importantly, more research is needed to establish their effectiveness. Here, we provide a pragmatic evaluation of an online intervention (MePlusMe) specifically designed to improve the mental health, well-being, and study skills of HE students.

Methods: In accordance with the published protocol for a feasibility study, we recruited a convenience sample of 137 HE students to participate in an eight-week intervention, with 26 participants retained at week 8. Validated measures of mood (depression and anxiety), well-being, and self-efficacy were collected at baseline, 2, 4, and 8weeks, alongside two feedback forms assessing design and functionality (baseline) and engagement (week 4 and 8).

Results: We observed significant reductions in levels of anxiety and depression as well as increases in well-being, but no changes in self-efficacy. Participants rated the system design and functionality positively and qualitative findings indicated high levels of satisfaction with MePlusMe.

Discussion: Findings support both the acceptability and the effectiveness of MePlusMe. Nonetheless, modest retention rates limit the precision and generalisability of these findings. Further investigation should ascertain optimal duration of engagement, most acceptable means of outcome assessment, and further detail about obstacles to utilisation.
