| Summary: | [eng] BACKGROUND: Mental Health First Aid Training Programmes empower their participants to recognise mental health problems in others, provide initial help and refer them to help resources. However, the existing programmes seem to address mental disorders, which can foster the psychiatrisation movement of human suffering. Nurses have the opportunity to facilitate these educational interventions, teaching about mental health problems that represent nursing diagnoses. These interventions may be suitable for upper secondary school students. OBJECTIVE: This thesis aimed to develop a Mental Health First Aid Training Programme, promoted by nurses and aimed at adolescents in Portuguese upper secondary schools. Furthermore, it sought to develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of a scale that measures an outcome of the intervention. |
