“…Adhering strictly to Jorm's definition poses a problem, as the fact that the concept of MHL is based on the DSM renders it lacking or overlooks MH (Kusan, 2013). Understanding MH means being aware of its biological, psychological, and social aspects in advance (Doğan et al., 2022), allowing individuals to also be conscious of the influence that sociodemographic factors exert on our MH, such as gender (Kusan, 2013; Wong et al., 2017).…”

For example, one study found that younger respondents and those with higher educational levels had better MHL (Wang et al., 2013).…”

“…Gender is another factor that has been identified (Dias et al., 2018; Doğan et al., 2022; Gorczynski et al., 2020; Holman, 2015; Lee et al., 2020). Overall, it was found that women have higher scores in MHL, although there seems to be no consensus due to the inconsistency of the findings.…”

Mental health literacy (MHL) has been identified as a factor influencing early help‐seeking for mental health problems (MHPs) and stigmatizing attitudes. However, the lack of consensus on its definition has led to considerable heterogeneity in measurement and, consequently, methodological challenges in comparing data. In this way, the present study was conducted with the following objectives: in Phase I, mapping the existing literature through a scoping review; in Phase 2, 28 experts in the field of mental health participated to develop a consensus statement on the relevance and importance of the findings from Phase 1. A total of 37 articles were included for review. Notable nuances were identified in the conceptualization of MHL, particularly with regard to the fact that it should not be limited to mental disorders but should also encompass mental health. Furthermore, the sociocultural influence was highlighted as shaping MHL, recognizing it as a modifiable competence that adapts to different contexts and life stages, involving both individual and collective levels. The experts deemed the findings pertinent and relevant with a high degree of consensus, except for factors related to MHL. This framework provides a refined definition of MHL and related factors that should be taken into account to guide nursing and other disciplines' studies and interventions on MHL. The evolution of this concept includes dimensions to be considered in future research, especially when developing new measurement instruments or implementing educational programmes. This knowledge and skills cannot be determined globally without considering the context and development of the individual.

“…It has also been reported that depression literacy is significantly associated with attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help [12]. As mental health literacy increases, attitudes towards seeking psychological help improve positively [70]. In a systematic review of a group of migrants, it was found that individuals with a higher level of education had a more favourable attitude toward seeking psychological help [71].…”

Background/aim: Mental disorders constitute a significant public health concern, contributing significantly to the overall disease burden. Individuals experiencing mental distress often delay or avoid seeking psychological help or do not seek help due to varying factors. This study examines the factors affecting individuals’ preferences, particularly young people, in seeking psychological help in Türkiye. Methods: This study utilized microdata from the Türkiye Health Survey conducted by TURKSTAT in 2016 and 2019. The factors influencing decisions to consult with a psychologist, psychotherapist, or psychiatrist were determined by multivariate probit regression analysis. The Türkiye Health Survey employed a stratified two-stage cluster sampling method, surveying 17,242 individuals over the age of 15 in 9470 households in 2016 and 17,084 individuals over the age of 15 in 9470 households in 2019. Results: The analysis findings indicated that, in the entire sample, women are more likely to seek psychological help, while younger women are less likely to do so. In the entire sample, as the education level increased, the probability of individuals receiving psychological help increased, while it decreased for young people. It was determined that people who use tobacco and alcohol are more likely to receive psychological help than others. It was also determined that individuals who perceive their health status as good, especially those who are both young and perceive their health status as good, are less likely to seek psychological help. Conclusions: The significance and impact of the variables on the probability of individuals seeking psychological help vary for both the entire sample and young people. There may be various restrictions in getting psychological help, and people may resort to informal methods instead of professionals to cope with their existing problems. In developing preventive strategies to safeguard mental health, factors related to young people’s and individuals’ psychological help-seeking status should be prioritized, and more attention should be paid to them.

Ruh Sağlığı Okuryazarlığı (RSO), ruhsal bozukluklarla ilgili bilgi ve inançları tanımayı, ruhsal bozuklukları önleme ve yönetmeyi, aynı zamanda ruhsal bozukluklarda yardım arama davranışını sağlayan, sağlık okuryazarlığının bir alt kümesidir. Araştırma, sağlık temalı bir vakıf üniversitesinin lisans bölümlerine kayıtlı 268 öğrenci ile yürütülmüştür. Bu araştırmada; üniversite öğrencilerinin ruh sağlığı okuryazarlığı ve psikolojik sağlamlık düzeylerini değerlendirmek ve bunlar arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada veriler; Kişisel Veri Toplama Formu, Ruh Sağlığı Okuryazarlığı Ölçeği (RSOY) ve Kısa Psikolojik Sağlamlık Ölçeği (KPSÖ) aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Öğrencilerin KPSÖ puan ortalaması 15,29±4,00; RSOY puan ortalaması 16,60±2,80’dir. Stresli bir olay yaşayan ve antidepresan kullanan öğrencilerin KPSÖ puan ortalamalarının daha düşük olduğu belirlenmiştir (p
