“…Twenty-four articles addressed programmes/interventions that aim to promote knowledge about mental disorders and their treatments, of which ten were experimental studies [ 32 , 33 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 ], seven were quasi-experimental studies [ 34 , 35 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 ], three were descriptive articles [ 36 , 37 , 53 ], two were secondary analyses [ 38 , 39 ], one was a mixed study [ 22 ] and one was a systematic literature review [ 54 ].…”

In recent years, there has been an important commitment to the development of programs to promote mental health literacy (MHL) among adolescents, due to the prevalence of mental health problems and the low level of MHL that affects this group. The aim of this study was to map the structure and context of programmes/interventions for promoting MHL among adolescents in school settings. A scoping review was conducted following the guidelines of The Joanna Briggs Institute. We searched for studies on programmes/interventions promoting at least one of the components of MHL of adolescents, written in Portuguese, English or Spanish, published from 2013 to 2020, in MEDLINE, CINAHL Plus with Full Text, SciELO, SCOPUS, OpenGrey, RCAAP and in the article reference lists. This review included 29 articles. The majority of programmes/interventions addressed one or more of the four components of MHL, with the knowledge of mental disorders and stigma reduction components being the most covered; were taught by adolescent’s regular teachers; used face to face interventions; had a height variable duration; used non-validated instruments; were implemented in a classroom environment; and showed statistically significant improvements in adolescent’s MHL levels. More research is needed to implement/construct programmes/interventions promoting adolescents’ MHL concerning knowledge on how to obtain and maintain good mental health.

“…Feelings of being supported by adults have been identified as important for children with social, emotional and mental health-related difficulties to flourish in the school environment [ 44 ]. Teachers have the potential to improve and intervene in students’ mental health [ 45 ]. A range of interventions have been tested for mental health promotion in schools with varying degrees of success [ 46 ].…”

Background Managing school nonattendance is a priority worldwide. Frequent school nonattendance in early school years has immediate and long-term negative effects. Although strategies to address nonattendance are being developed and implemented, the number of students with school nonattendance issues is increasing. In this study, we explored students’ feelings and perceptions about attending school and the potential determinants of a positive attitude towards attending school. Methods We hypothesized that a positive perception towards attending school was influenced by relationships, perceptions of current circumstances, subjective health, and having someone to share experiences and thoughts with. For examining the hypothesized model, an original questionnaire with 14 items was developed, including perceptions towards school attendance (an item), relationships with friends and school teachers (5 items), current circumstances (4 items), subjective health (3 items), and the individuals available to share experiences and thoughts with (1 item). In total, 6860 children submitted the questionnaire (85.3% response rate) and 6841 responses were included to examine the model. Children were 10 or 11 years old, and selected from 111 state-run schools in 8 randomly selected school districts. Results The final model demonstrated good fit and showed that the latent variable of relationships with friends and school teachers directly impacted on how children felt about attending school. The latent variable of subjective health also directly impacted on how children felt about attending school but not strongly. Other latent variables were not significant. Conclusions The importance of positive relationships with friends and teachers in overcoming school nonattendance has been emphasized in previous studies. This study has provided evidence that these relationships impacted children’s positive perception about attending school in a large sample of students aged 10–11 years. The latent variable of subjective health may require more items to capture mental health.

Background: Managing school nonattendance is a priority worldwide. We aimed to explore students’ feelings and perceptions about attending school and the potential determinants of a positive attitude towards attending school. Methods: We hypothesized that a positive attitude towards attending school was influenced by positive relationships with friends and school teachers, positive perceptions of current circumstances, and positive subjective health. An original questionnaire was developed and distributed in Japan. To capture how children felt about attending school, the item wording was “I am looking forward to going to my school.” To capture positive relationships with friends and school teachers, items were positively worded, including “I get along well with friends” and “school teachers approve of my efforts.” To capture positive perceptions of current circumstances, items were positively worded, including “I am able to prepare for classes by my own” and “I am proud of myself.” For positive subjective health, selected items were “my health status,” “I get tired easily” and “I have anxieties and/or worries.” We analyzed data from 6841 elementary school children in the 5th year in Japan using a structural equation model. We examined the model using the comparative fit index (CFI), Tucker Lewis index (TLI), and root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA).Results: The final model obtained 0.055 for RMSEA, 0.933 for CFI, and 0.923 for TLI. Children’s positive views towards attending school were directly related to positive relationships with friends and school teachers (the path coefficient value was 0.465), positive perception of current circumstances (0.074), and positive subjective health (0.187). Conclusions: This study found that positive relationships with friends and school teachers were significantly and positively associated with children looking forward to attending school. Positive health status and a positive perception of current circumstances were also significant, but the relationship was not as strong.
