Abstract
Training and Rehabilitation Programs for Mental Health Workers: A Systematic Review of the Literature Abdulmenem Ali Saleh Abu Azoum BSc in Anaesthesia and Intensive care (Tripoli University), MSc in Health and Social development (Queen Margaret University), Libyan Authority for Scientific Research, Tripoli, Libya Abstract Background: Mental health workers play a vital role in providing care and support to individuals with mental health disorders. As such, it is important that they receive adequate training and rehabilitation to ensure they are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to carry out their roles effectively. This systematic review aims to provide an overview of the existing literature on training and rehabilitation programs for mental health workers, with a particular focus on their effectiveness. Method: A systematic search of electronic databases (PubMed, PsycINFO, and CINAHL) was conducted for articles published between January 2010 and December 2020. The search terms included "training", "rehabilitation", "mental health", and "workers". Studies were included if they evaluated the effectiveness of a training or rehabilitation program for mental health workers. Results: A total of 10 studies were included in the review. The majority of the studies focused on training programs, with only four studies evaluating rehabilitation programs. The training programs varied in their content and delivery methods, with some focusing on specific interventions (such as cognitive-behavioral therapy), while others provided more general training on mental health disorders and their treatment. The majority of studies reported positive outcomes, with improvements in knowledge, skills, and attitudes among mental health workers who participated in the training programs. The few studies evaluating rehabilitation programs also reported positive outcomes, including improvements in job satisfaction and reduced work stress among mental health workers. Conclusion: The existing literature suggests that training and rehabilitation programs for mental health workers can be effective in improving their knowledge, skills, attitudes, and overall well-being. However, more research is needed to determine the optimal content and delivery methods for these programs, as well as their long-term effectiveness and impact on patient outcome. Despite the positive indications, the conclusion acknowledges that more research is needed in this area. This implies that additional studies are required to build a stronger evidence base and gain a deeper understanding of the impact and effectiveness of these programs. This includes identifying the specific topics, interventions, and techniques that yield the best outcomes for mental health workers. Additionally, future research should explore the connection between mental health workers' training and rehabilitation and patient outcomes. Understanding how these programs influence the quality of care provided and patient outcomes is vital for improving mental health services.
