ABSTRACTTo explore the meaning and outcomes of a virtual building capacity processdesigned to promote knowledge translation of a public health approach to mental health with children and youth by occupational therapy students completing a Level II Fieldwork experience in school settings.A one-group (n= 19) mixed design using quantitative (pretest-posttest survey) and qualitative methods (phenomenological analysis of written reflections) was used to explore the meaning and outcomes of participation in the virtual building capacity process.Statistically significant improvements (p<.00) in pretest-posttest scores of knowledge, beliefs and actions related to addressing mental health were found in 7 of the 9 categories. Four qualitative themes emerged from the data: New thinking regarding ‘mental health’; Gearing up for change; Planning led to implementation; and the Building capacity processwas meaningful and enjoyable.The building capacity processexpanded student knowledge of a public health approach to mental health resulting in increased awareness and application of embedded strategies to address the mental health needs of students during a Level II Fieldwork experience in school settings. |
