Objectives : The purpose of this study is to evaluate the preliminary effects of school-based short term mental health awareness and school bullying prevention programs.
Methods : From April to December 2013, the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Promotion team of Seoul National Hospital conducted school-based short term social skill training (N=56, 4 sessions), mental health awareness (N=84, 4 sessions) and school bullying prevention programs (N=171, 1 session) in elementary and junior high schools located in Seoul. The changes in the subjects before and after the program were assessed.
Results : The social skills training program improved the ’helping’ behaviors in boys (t=-2.355, p<.05) and ’sharing’ (t=-3.223, p<.01), ’cooperation’ (t=-2.235, p<.05), and ’comforting’ (t=-2.830, p<.01) behaviors in girls, assessed using the Prosocial Behavior Questionnaire. The mental health awareness program improved ’general health awareness’ (t=2.620, p<.05), measured using the Korean General Health Questionnaire. The school bullying prevention program resulted in decreased ’self esteem’ (t=3.769, p<.01), measured using the Self Esteem Scale and decreased ’anger’ (t=4.198, p<.01), assessed using the Novaco Anger Scale.
Conclusion : The results of our preliminary analysis suggest that school-based mental health awareness and school bullying prevention programs may be effective even when conducted for a short term. Future investigation is necessary in order to validate the long term effects of these programs.
