“…In the mediating model was showed that perceived stigma and mental health literacy was negatively associated, indicating lower perceived stigma will be associated with higher mental health literacy. In line with our finding, studies have described that perceived stigma was negatively correlated with mental health literacy [38,45,46]. Insufficient understanding regarding mental health problems can result in unfavorable attitudes and beliefs towards behavioral health, the services provided for it, and individuals with mental illness [47].…”

Objective This study aimed to investigate whether perceived stigma and mental health literacy play mediating roles in the correlation between school climate and help-seeking behavior in Indonesian adolescents. Methods We used cross-sectional study design that recruited 760 Indonesian adolescents of age 16–19 years. We used convenience sampling from July to September 2019. Bivariate analysis was used to investigate the association of demographic characteristics with help-seeking behavior. Mediation analysis was employed to explore the mediating roles of mental health literacy and perceived stigma on the relationship between school climate and help-seeking behavior. Results Findings indicated that ethnicity, family income, and father’s educational level were significantly associated (p < 0.05) with help-seeking behavior in Indonesian adolescents. Furthermore, perceived stigma and mental health literacy sequentially showed partial mediating roles in the relationship between school climate and help-seeking behavior (indirect effect: 0.004; 95% CI: 0.001, 0.010). Our mediating model indicated that a high level of school climate was associated with low perceived stigma (b = −0.11, p < 0.001) and high mental health literacy (b = 0.28, p < 0.001) and higher help-seeking behavior (b = 0.14, p < 0.001). Conclusion Our study discovered novel insight of help-seeking behavior mechanism among adolescent by serial mediation test. Supportive school climate is necessary to achieve adequate help-seeking behavior. In addition, taking into account of student’s perceived stigma and mental health literacy in promoting help-seeking behavior is also important.

This study aims to provide a more complete and exhaustive perspective on the whole range of potential strategies to fight stigma by considering the perspectives of different stakeholders. Delegates to a Canadian conference were invited to participate in a survey that focused on stigma, from which the responses to the following question were analyzed: tell us briefly what you do to reduce prejudice and stigma toward people with a diagnosis of mental disorder? From 253 participants, 15 categories of strategies to fight stigma were identified from the verbatim (e.g., sharing/encouraging disclosure). These categories fell under six main themes: education, contact, protestation, person centered, working on recovery and social inclusion, and reflexive consciousness. The occurrence of these themes was different among stakeholders (clinical, organizational, and experiential knowledge). For example, people with mental disorders (experiential knowledge) often mentioned contact and person centered strategies, while mental health professionals (clinical knowledge) preferred education and working on recovery and social inclusion strategies. The results from this study highlight the need to pay more attention to the concept of disclosure of mental disorders in the process for de-stigmatization. Future studies are needed to assess the impact of the emerging strategies to fight stigma in the community.

Providing opportunity for mastery prior to returning to work helps to mitigate the prevalence of stigma against depression in today’s workplaces [ 65 ].…”

BackgroundMental health related work disability leaves are increasing at alarming rates with depression emerging as the most common mental disorder in the workforce. Treatments are available to alleviate depressive symptoms and associated functional impacts; however, they are not specifically aimed at preparing people to return to work. Cognitive work hardening (CWH) is a novel intervention that addresses this gap in the health care system. This paper presents a theoretical analysis of the components and underlying mechanisms of CWH using Intervention Mapping (IM) as a tool to deconstruct its elements.MethodsThe cognitive sequelae of depression and their relevance to return-to-work (RTW) are examined together with interpersonal skills and other work-related competencies that affect work ability. IM, a tool typically used to create programs, is used to deconstruct an existing program, namely CWH, into its component parts and link them to theories and models in the literature.ResultsCWH has been deconstructed into intervention elements which are linked to program performance objectives through underlying theoretical models. In this way, linkages are made between tools and materials of the intervention and the overall program objective of ‘successful RTW for people with depression’. An empirical study of the efficacy of CWH is currently underway which should provide added insight and understanding into this intervention.ConclusionsThe application of IM to CWH illustrates the theoretical underpinnings of the treatment intervention and assists with better understanding the linkage between intervention elements and intervention objective. Applying IM to deconstruct an existing program (rather than create a program) presents an alternate application of the IM tool which can have implications for other programs in terms of enhancing understanding, grounding in theoretical foundations, communicating program design, and establishing a basis for program evaluation and improvement.
