Mobile application-based delivery of mental health awareness programs may help in reducing the knowledge gap in mental healthcare in India. Apps can be used to educate our community about mental health first aid protocols. Apps have shown effectiveness in high-income settings, but they suffer from lack of applicability in low resource scenarios due to challenges of availability of apps in local vernaculars and digital illiteracy. We wanted to determine the potential of technology usage in mental healthcare awareness. We also wanted to explore the acceptability and willingness of caregivers in using mobile based mental health apps.METHODSA cross-sectional quantitative survey was conducted in outpatient setting of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar Memorial Hospital, Raipur, in which a semi structured questionnaire was provided electronically to collect data. A total of 120 participants, including 60 caregivers of mentally ill patients and rest 60 caregivers of patients suffering from diseases other than mental illness were included in the study. All 120 participants were included for data calculation. Data obtained was analysed statistically, using Cross Tab Analysis which includes chi-square and Cramer’s V with the help of SPSS (16th) version.RESULTSOut of 120 participants, 85 (70.83%) use smart phone with internet facility. 34 (28.33%) participants already use internet as their primary source of health-related information. 42 (35%) cases and 30 (25%) controls were keen to learn about Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) protocols. Those who had a mentally ill patient in their family were more likely to use a MHFA learning App (Pearson chi square = 11.528; df = 4; p = 0.02 < 0.05; Cramer’s V = 0.031; p= >0.021). There was no significant difference in both the groups’ eagerness to help their loved ones after learning MHFA protocols. Lack of knowledge and awareness and unavailability of an appropriate app were significant barriers.CONCLUSIONSThe study looks into the scope and limitations of implementing a mobile technology-based intervention for low resource setting. Handholding of caregivers and frequent encouragement from treating doctors might significantly help in technology adoption and in surmounting the apprehension related to using technology. The scope of delivering mental health services through technology is immense.

ABSTRACT
According to the phenomenon that the curriculum of psychological health education for college students is theoretical,lack of experience and the teaching form is single,this research attempts to private a blended teaching which is based on the small private online course (SPOC) and experiential teaching.The content of mental health is divided into theoretical knowledge and experience knowledge.And the theoretical knowledge is taught through online teaching in the form of massive open online courses (MOOC),while the experiential knowledge is taught by pure experiential teaching in the classroom.The study has summed up 3 stages of learning mode:learning before class,teaching experience and reflection after class.This changes the single classroom theory teaching to students experience learning.Besides,formative evaluation is used as assessment methods,which has enhanced the effectiveness of the course and at the same time,it has also promoted the improvement of teachers' teaching level effectively.
ABSTRACT
Background & Objective: Mental health needs of a society are ideally met by integration in primary care. Under the District Mental Health programme, Surat is the nodal centre for Dang, a tribal region. In order to make medical care available to the patients in need, it was vital to train the peripheral health workers of the region. The aim was to provide mental health education to the peripheral health workers of Dang and assess its impact on their knowledge and attitude regarding mental health issues. Methodology: 150 peripheral health workers were posted in the Department of Psychiatry in batches of 20-30 each for a 7-day, extensive, in-house training. The improvement in knowledge and attitude was assessed by a pre-post semi-structured questionnaire and structured feedback. Results: The training resulted in a significant improvement in scores related to clarification of myths. The knowledge and attitude related to mental health issues improved significantly and the participants reported that they were sensitized by the training and would identify and refer patients to the visiting psychiatrist. Conclusion: The training in mental health could bring about improvement in the knowledge and attitude of the peripheral health workers. However, to what extent does this change reflect in actual practice, needs to be ascertained.

ABSTRACT
Objective To study military medical graduates' psychological elastic characteris-tics and the key influencing factors. Methods A comparative study of 817 graduate students and 597 undergraduate students in a military academy was conducted by using positive negative emotions, pos-itive and negative cognitive bias and Mental Resilience Scale. Independent sample t-test, single factor analysis of variance, correlation analysis, and step-wise regression analysis were conducted by SPSS 18.0 for data analysis. Results ①Resilience scores of postgraduate students were significantly lower than those of undergraduate students (76.01 ±11.43 vs. 80.00 ±10.26, t=-6.76, P<0.01). Resilience scores of military postgraduates were significantly higher than those of local postgraduates (77.18 ± 11.59 vs. 74.97±11.19, t=2.77, P<0.05). Resilience scores of female postgraduates were significantly lower than those of males (74.79 ±10.83 vs. 76.94 ±11.78, t=2.68, P<0.05), reflected in factors of tenacity and strength. ②Resilience and its factors were positively related to positive affect and atten-tion to positive information (r=0.448~0.625, P<0.01), while negatively related to negative affect and attention to negative information (r=-0.206~-0.448, P<0.01). ③Regression analysis showed that posi-tive and negative emotion, attention to positive and negative information can significantly predict re-silience, accounting for the variance of 53.7%. ④Positive and negative affect partially mediated the relationship between attention to positive information and positive affect and resilience. Conclusion Attention to positive information and positive affect may be potential targets for intervention to enhance the level of resilience among military medical postgraduate students.
