Abstract
TEIXEIRA, Sónia Manuela Almeida et al. Characteristics of a positive mental health program for adults: a Focus Group study. Revista Portuguesa de Enfermagem de Saúde Mental [online]. 2021, n.26, pp.200-217. Epub Dec 31, 2021. ISSN 1647-2160. https://doi.org/10.19131/rpesm.319.
Context: The term ‘positive mental health’ was first designated by Marie Jahoda in 1958. It frames the promotion of mental health as something important in society and the dynamic life cycle of its members.
Objective:
To explore and identify the components needed for the creation of a modular program to promote positive mental health in adults, based on Teresa Lluch Multifactorial Model.
Methods:
We conducted three focus groups from March-July 2018 with a total of 23 nursing professionals in Portugal. The data was thematically analyzed using the Framework method. The COREQ checklist guided reporting.
Results:
Four previously identified topics were analyzed: the structure of the program, the inclusion criteria of participants, the conceptual composition of the sessions, and the effectiveness of the program. The theoretical construction of the program was based on Teresa Lluch Multifactorial Positive Mental Health Model, composed of six factors: personal satisfaction, prosocial attitude, self-control, autonomy, problem-solving and self-actualization, and interpersonal relationship skills.
Conclusion:
This study allowed to identify, with consensus, a set of interventions based on the six factors of Teresa Lluch Multifactorial Positive Mental Health Model that should integrate a program that promotes positive mental health in adults in different settings/contexts suited for the individual needs of each participant.
