Intervenciones psicoeducativas sobre salud mental con adolescentes en contextos escolares: una revisión sistemática

Abstract

Psychoeducational interventions on mental health with adolescents in scholar contexts: a systematic review. Adolescence is a critical life phase during which people are faced with important decisions at the personal, academic, familial, and social level, what often comes with many difficulties. It is estimated that around 20% of adolescents will experience mental health difficulties. This study reviews psychoeducational interventions aimed at the prevention and promotion of adolescents’ mental health within the school context. A systematic search was conducted in Web of Science, Scopus and PsycInfo, through which 105 articles were identified and 11 were selected according to the inclusion criteria. After reviewing the main aspects of each program, it can be concluded that, overall, psychoeducational interventions are effective. These interventions promote mental health knowledge, reduce associated stigmas, and provide useful strategies for navigating problems.
