“…Religion has been proven to have effect on mental health outcomes of followers of identified religious faith (Caplan, 2019;Van Nieuw et al, 2021). The religious settings provide a window of opportunity in reaching congregation members and other community members on accurate information on mental health and its disorders.…”

Globally, good mental health literacy (MHL), a multiple domain construct reflecting knowledge, perception and attitudes related to mental health, is associated with improved mental health seeking and help giving behaviours. Research has established that MHL is poor among religious leaders (RLs) who have been established to be the first point of call for mental health related needs in the society. Hence, this study assessed the effect of physical educational interventions on the domains of MHL among RLs in Ogun State, Nigeria. Quasi experimental research design was utilized for this study. Three Local Government Areas (LGAs) were selected through balloting. A sample of 85 religious leaders were purposively selected using predefined selection criteria. The interventions were implemented for six weeks. A validated structured questionnaire was used for data collection. Data on MHL domains (knowledge, perception and attitude) were collected at baseline, immediate post-intervention and at 12th week follow-up. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics at 5% level of significance. At baseline, there was no significant difference in knowledge (EG=9.15±8.42, CG=13.42±10.43, p=0.100), perception (EG=27.29±9.12, CG=30.84±9.80, p=0.221) and attitude (EG=16.19±6.64, CG=18.09±10.46, p=0.42); At immediate post-intervention, EG scored significantly higher than CG in knowledge (EG=25.31±4.76, CG=13.93±10.90, p=0.00), perception (EG=38.29±5.48, CG=30.52±9.94, p=0.00), attitude (EG=26.25±10.06, CG=17.55±9.54, p=0.00). Similarly, at 12th week follow-up, EG scored significantly higher than CG for knowledge (EG=23.62±6.90, CG=10.52±9.60, p=0.00), perception (EG=37.68±6.66, CG=29.36±9.25, p=0.00), attitude (EG=23.62±6.90, CG=10.52±9.60, p=0.00). Physical intervention was effective in improving MHL. It was recommended among others that religious leaders should be included as stakeholders in mental health technical working groups across the different tiers of Nigeria health system where such applies.

‘Beyond Boundaries or Best Practice’ Prayer in Clinical Mental Health Care: Opinions of Professionals and Patients

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The use of prayer in mental health care is controversial. Several scholars in the field have emphasized possibilities, whereas others have expressed clear disapproval. The aim of the current study was to describe opinions about prayer of mental health professionals (MHPs) and patients in a Christian (CC) and a secular (SC) mental health clinic. Content analysis was applied to 35 patient interviews and 18 interviews with MHPs. Most of the nurses in both clinics were open to the possible use of prayer, frequently argued by assisting patients in case of inability, but also by personal belief in its potency. Practitioners in both clinics were sometimes reticent or reluctant towards prayer. In the CC the nurses practiced prayer regularly, but all of them mentioned preconditions (like a similar outlook on life) and patients were stimulated to pray themselves. All patients in the CC and most of the patients in the SC had no objections against prayer and tended to focus on the benefits, like tranquility and relief. Prayer in mental health care could be practiced, especially by nurses, in cases of inability of patients, when considered beneficial and when a similar religious background is present.
