摘要
背景:青春期是精神疾病发展的高峰阶段。以世界卫生组织《促进健康学校框架》为蓝本的全校精神卫生和福祉方针,在这一发展敏感时期具有巨大潜力。然而,这些干预措施的证据基础尚无定论。目的:我们的研究考察了弹性项目学校合作计划的有效性,这是一项涉及学生、教师和家长的全校干预,以感恩、同理心、情感素养和正念等概念为中心。方法:采用准实验研究方法,在2023年对102所学校的40149名学生进行干预和对照研究。收集的数据包括社会人口统计信息和来自有效量表的结果,包括生活满意度、希望、应对技能、焦虑和抑郁。按照实施项目的年数对干预学校进行分层,并使用混合效应回归模型对项目进行评估。结果:在调整混杂因素后,实施该计划6年或更长时间的学校参与者在所有五个领域都表现出明显更好的结果(生活满意度:B = 0.627, 95% CI 0.465-0.789;希望:B = 2.135, 95% CI 0.895-3.347;应对技能:B = 0.438, 95% CI 0.250-0.625;焦虑:优势比= 0.658,95% CI 0.559-0.774;抑郁症:优势比= 0.534,95% CI 0.459-0.620)。只有在实施该计划的第四年或第五年的学校参与者中,抑郁症显著降低(优势比= 0.941,95% CI 0.935-0.948)。结论:我们的研究结果表明,全校干预可能需要长期投资才能发挥其潜力,并强调实施时间是未来全校干预评估的重要考虑因素。
Evaluation of a nationwide whole-school approach to mental health and well-being in 40 149 Australian secondary school students: cluster quasi-experimental study.
Background: Adolescence is the peak life stage for the development of mental illness. Whole-school approaches to mental health and well-being, modelled on the World Health Organization's Health-Promoting Schools Framework, hold vast potential in this developmentally sensitive period. However, the evidence base for these interventions is inconclusive.
Aims: Our study examines the effectiveness of The Resilience Project School Partnership Program, a whole-school intervention involving students, teachers and parents, centred around concepts of gratitude, empathy, emotional literacy and mindfulness.
Methods: A quasi-experimental study with an intervention and a control arm was used to evaluate the programme in 40 149 students across 102 schools in 2023. Data collected included sociodemographic information and outcomes derived from validated scales, comprising life satisfaction, hope, coping skills, anxiety and depression. Intervention schools were stratified by the number of years they had implemented the programme, and mixed-effects regression models were used to evaluate the programme.
Results: After adjusting for confounders, participants at schools who had been implementing the programme for 6 years or longer demonstrated significantly better outcomes across all five domains (life satisfaction: B = 0.627, 95% CI 0.465-0.789; hope: B = 2.135, 95% CI 0.895-3.347; coping skills: B = 0.438, 95% CI 0.250-0.625; anxiety: odds ratio = 0.658, 95% CI 0.559-0.774; depression: odds ratio = 0.534, 95% CI 0.459-0.620). Only depression was significantly lower among participants at schools in their fourth or fifth year of implementing the programme (odds ratio = 0.941, 95% CI 0.935-0.948).
Conclusions: Our findings indicate that whole-school interventions may require long-term investment to realise their potential and highlight implementation duration as an important consideration for future evaluations of whole-school interventions.
