Lise Öğrencilerinin Psikolojik Yardım Aramaya Gönüllülükleri ile Psikolojik Belirtileri Arasındaki İlişki/The Relationship between High School Students' Willingness to Seek Psychological Help and Their Psychological Symptoms

“…Öğrencilerin kendini açma (Bradley, Robinson ve Brannen, 2012;Erdayı, 2009;Karaalp, 2009), algıladıkları sosyal destek (Karaalp, 2009;Pisani vd., 2012), bağlanma stilleri (Erdayı, 2009) ve sosyodemografik değişkenler (Kırımlı, 2007) ile psikolojik yardım aramaya gönüllülüklerinin incelendiği; psikolojik yardım aramaya gönüllülük ile ilgili çalışmaların genel olarak, üniversite öğrencileri ve yetişkinlerle yapıldığı görülmüştür (Çankaya, Terzi, Erkan ve Özbay, 2012;Meydan & Lüleci, 2013;Göker, 2013;Özdemir, 2012;Serim, 2011).…”

Blended cognitive behavior therapy : efficacy and acceptability for treating depression in the adult and adolescent population

“…In addition to the shortage in care capacity, adolescents under-represent in standard care settings for reasons of stigma, limited mental health literacy, and a preference for seeking help from friends and family rather than professionals (e.g. Bradley et al, 2012;Gulliver, Griffiths & Christensen, 2010;Melas et al, 2013). Study IV and Study V acknowledged this and allowed adolescents to autonomously enroll and conduct treatment if they were deemed to possess adequate maturity to make informed decisions about their treatment.…”

“…One example of the effect of guidance on completion shows how 60% of adolescent users terminated their use after the first module when conducting self-help ICBT, whereas when the same program included monitoring and support, this dropout rate decreased to 10% (Neil, Batterham, Christensen, Bennett & Griffiths, 2009). Studies on ICBT for adolescents, however, have tended to show poorer outcomes in general (Pennant et al, 2015), and for guided ICBT as well there have been reports of limitations in relation to enrollment (Crutzen, Bosma, Havas & Feron, 2014;Stasiak, Hatcher, Frampton & Merry, 2014), attitudes toward programs (Bradley et al, 2012;Gerrits, van der Zanden, Visscher & Conijn, 2007;Stasiak et al, 2014), and program completion (Calear, Christensen, Mackinnon, Griffiths & O'Kearney, 2009;O'Kearney, Kang, Christensen & Griffiths, 2009). …”

“…There were also patients who felt offended being offered ICBT, feeling this indicated that they were not prioritized or cared for (Holst et al, 2017). Adolescents interviewed about their expectations and preferences concerning online interventions for mental health have expressed that the discretion of online support is a great advantage (Bradley, Robinson & Brannen, 2012;Sindahl, 2013;World Childhood Foundation, 2012). This is important, given that limited mental health literacy, stigma and fear of others knowing about one's mental illness is especially prevalent among young people and hamper help-seeking (e.g., Coles et al, 2016;Gulliver et al, 2010;Melas, Tartani, Forsner, Edhborg & Forsell, 2013;Vanheusden et al, 2008).…”
