“…Men, particularly young men, are much less likely than women to seek help for a range of health and mental health issues (Emslie et al, 2007 ; Fish et al, 2015 ; Haddad, 2013 ; Oliver et al, 2005 ).

Connecting people to useful, actionable health resources is a substantive challenge that sits at the heart of health communication. Digital media provides means of producing, distributing and revising content and creates possibilities for new and multiple channels for reaching and engaging audiences, particularly when combined with social media. While there is much promise of digital media forms to deliver audiences and promote engagement, the health communication landscape is still largely hit-and-miss with few ‘best practice’ examples to follow. Proof-of-concept studies allow for a structured, focused exploration of ways to leverage the potential of digital media and learn what approaches have the promise to invest resources in amid a sea of possible options. Think You Can Shrink? (TYCS) is a multi-episode web series modelled on a reality TV show format. The show’s key objective is to educate men and demonstrate, through modelling, ways men can support other men to encourage help-seeking behaviours and greater health communication, which in turn, may also lead to better health outcomes. Given the newness of the approach, the project was launched as a proof-of-concept study to explore: (a) whether this approach could engage the interest of men, (b) what initial impact this approach might induce and (c) the kind of audiences this approach might most appeal to.

Family’s participation has important role in recovery process of patients with schizophrenia. In this term, it can be improved through health education program. The aim of this quantitative research was to describe the level of family’s knowledge with schizophrenia. The research used accidental sampling technique with 99 respondents. The research instrument was questionnaires on respondents’ characteristics and on family’s knowledge of schizophrenia. The data were presented with frequency distribution and percentage. The result of the research revealed that 57 respondents (57.6%) had good knowledge of schizophrenia, 42 respondents (42.4%) had moderate knowledge, and no respondent with poor knowledge. In the last few years, there was the increase in the number of relapse occurance among patients with schizophrenia. Therefore, the high percentage of moderate knowledge was not a real description for the disease. However, nurses were expected to be able to increase family’s knowledge by providing health education about schizophrenia. It includes, families understanding about the disease, signs and symptoms, medication management and the families’ role in the treatment of patients with schizophrenia.

“…Atskiroms grupėms būdingų psichologinių ypatumų analizė leistų geriau pažinti psichikos sveikatos stiprinimo priemonės tikslinę auditoriją, nes tokios programos gali būti nukreiptos tiek į plačiąją visuomenę, tiek į konkrečias žmonių grupes (Haddad, 2013). Dėl to vyrų ir moterų taikomų įveikos būdų nagrinėjimas leistų geriau suprasti šias skirtingas grupes ir sukurti labiau pritaikytas socialinės ar psichologinės pagalbos priemones.…”
