abstract: 'BackgroundPrimary care physicians (PCPs) working in mental health care
|
|
|
|
in Tunisia often lack knowledge and skills needed to adequately address
|
|
|
|
mental health-related issues. To address these lacunas, a training based
|
|
|
|
on the Mental Health Gap Action Programme (mhGAP) Intervention Guide
|
|
|
|
(IG) was offered to PCPs working in the Greater Tunis area between
|
|
|
|
February and April 2016. While the mhGAP-IG has been used extensively in
|
|
|
|
low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to help build non-specialists''
|
|
|
|
mental health capacity, little research has focused on how contextual
|
|
|
|
factors interact with the implemented training program to influence its
|
|
|
|
expected outcomes. This paper''s objective is to fill that lack.MethodsWe
|
|
|
|
conducted a case study with a purposeful sample of 18 trained PCPs. Data
|
|
|
|
was collected by semi-structured interviews between March and April
|
|
|
|
2016. Qualitative data was analyzed using thematic
|
|
|
|
analysis.ResultsParticipants identified more barriers than facilitators
|
|
|
|
when describing contextual factors influencing the mhGAP-based
|
|
|
|
training''s expected outcomes. Barriers were regrouped into five
|
|
|
|
categories: structural factors (e.g., policies, social context, local
|
|
|
|
workforce development, and physical aspects of the environment),
|
|
|
|
organizational factors (e.g., logistical issues for the provision of
|
|
|
|
care and collaboration within and across healthcare organizations),
|
|
|
|
provider factors (e.g., previous mental health experience and personal
|
|
|
|
characteristics), patient factors (e.g., beliefs about the health system
|
|
|
|
and healthcare professionals, and motivation to seek care), and
|
|
|
|
innovation factors (e.g., training characteristics). These contextual
|
|
|
|
factors interacted with the implemented training to influence knowledge
|
|
|
|
about pharmacological treatments and symptoms of mental illness,
|
|
|
|
confidence in providing treatment, negative beliefs about certain mental
|
|
|
|
health conditions, and the understanding of the role of PCPs in mental
|
|
|
|
health care delivery. In addition, post-training, participants still
|
|
|
|
felt uncomfortable with certain aspects of treatment and the management
|
|
|
|
of some mental health conditions.ConclusionsFindings highlight the
|
|
|
|
complexity of implementing a mhGAP-based training given its interaction
|
|
|
|
with contextual factors to influence the attainment of expected
|
|
|
|
outcomes. Results may be used to tailor structural, organizational,
|
|
|
|
provider, patient, and innovation factors prior to future
|
|
|
|
implementations of the mhGAP-based training in Tunisia. Findings may
|
|
|
|
also be used by decision-makers interested in implementing the mhGAP-IG
|
|
|
|
training in other LMICs.'
