Outline of Final Research Achievements

We attempted to develop a methodology for providing technical support to those engaged in suicide prevention, mental health care in disaster areas, and the Corona Disaster, which require response to high-risk individuals in mental health, and for disseminating awareness to the general public, including local community members, health promotion committee members, and family members who are involved with high-risk individuals in the community. The educational program incorporated online-based training, e-learning, and interactive educational models, and utilized relevant educational venues in the community. In addition, a program was added to the dissemination and awareness program to introduce robot-assisted education methods with a view to combating stigma. As a model for improving the effectiveness of education and evaluating its effectiveness, a clicker system was introduced for Q&A sessions and for small groups of students, and the responses were statistically organized.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

精神保健では、精神保健の課題として自殺対策や災害支援、コロナ禍など逼迫した課題が多くある。そしてハイリスク者対応を要する。教育にあたっては教育法や教育効果、スティグマ対策などを念頭に置く必要がある。本研究を通して、関心を高めたり、地域状況を踏まえた実施法として、オンライン型研修やeラーニング、双方向性教育モデル、ロボット導入による教育法、教育効果を念頭に入れたQ&A式、クリッカーシステム導入をはかり、現場での有用性を検討した。
