Journal Article
The effectiveness of an online short-format Recovery College model: a co-learning model to support mental health
2024
Overview
Background
Our societies are facing mental health challenges, which have been compounded by the Covid-19. This event led people to isolate themselves and to stop seeking the help they needed. In response to this situation, the Health and Recovery Learning Center, applying the Recovery College (RC) model, modified its training program to a shorter online format. This study examines the effectiveness of a single RC training course delivered in a shortened online format to a diverse population at risk of mental health deterioration in the context of Covid-19.
Methods
This quasi-experimental study used a one-group pretest-posttest design with repeated measures. Three hundred and fifteen (
n
= 315) learners agreed to take part in the study and completed questionnaires on wellbeing, anxiety, resilience, self-management, empowerment and stigmatizing attitudes and behaviors.
Results
Analyses of variance using a linear mixed models revealed that attending a RC training course had, over time, a statistically significant effect on wellbeing (
p
= 0.004), anxiety (
p
< 0.001), self-esteem/self-efficacy (
p
= 0.005), disclosure/help-seeking (
p
< 0.001) and a slight effect on resilience (
p
= 0.019) and optimism/control over the future (
p
= 0.01).
Conclusions
This study is the first to measure participation in a single online short-format RC training course, with a diversity of learners and a large sample. These results support the hypothesis that an online short-format training course can reduce psychological distress and increase self-efficacy and help-seeking.
