在全球范围内，大多数患有心理健康问题的年轻人无法获得心理健康护理，但可以使用移动终端。南非越来越多的人使用移动的设备，有可能通过数字平台增加获得精神卫生保健服务的机会。然而，数字心理健康干预措施的采用可能会受到几个因素的阻碍，例如隐私，保密性，知情同意和负担能力。这项研究确定了实施移动的手机为基础的心理健康干预在Ingwavuma地区的年轻人的前景和挑战。从93名年轻人在Ingwavuma地区有目的地选择了三个村庄收集数据。参与这项研究的人年龄在16-24岁之间。通过问卷调查收集数据。分别对定性和定量数据进行了主题分析和描述性分析。心理健康教育程度低，只有22%的参与者接受过心理健康教育。大约50%的参与者遇到过心理健康应用程序，但没有人使用过这些应用程序; 87%的参与者可以上网; 60%的人更喜欢使用社交媒体联系卫生工作者; 92%的人认为使用数字应用程序可以提高年轻人的心理健康素养。获得数字心理健康干预措施的障碍被确定为数据成本高，限制性宗教信仰，有限的隐私，大多数数字平台上缺乏母语，数字素养低和复杂的用户界面。在uMkhanyakude，年轻人对数字心理健康应用程序的使用率很低。我们建议开发人员创建针对不同文化背景的年轻人的特定环境的数字应用程序。在开发这些工具时，还需要解决负担能力等社会经济问题。
Globally, most young people living with mental health conditions lack access to mental health care but have access to a mobile device. The growing access to mobile devices in South Africa has the potential to increase access to mental health care services through digital platforms. However, uptake of digital mental health interventions may be hampered by several factors, such as privacy, confidentiality, informed consent, and affordability. This study identified the prospects and challenges of implementing a mobile phone-based mental health intervention for young people in Ingwavuma area. Data were collected from 93 young people in three villages purposefully selected in Ingwavuma area. Participants included in the study were aged 16–24. Data were collected through a questionnaire. Thematic and descriptive analysis was performed on the qualitative and quantitative data, respectively. Mental health education was low, with only 22% of participants having received prior education on mental health. About 50% of the participants had come across a mental health app, but none of them had used any of these apps; 87% of participants had Internet access; 60% preferred to use social media to contact a health worker; and 92% suggested that use of digital apps would improve mental health literacy among young people. Barriers to access of digital mental health interventions were identified as the high cost of data, restrictive religious beliefs, limited privacy, lack of native languages on most digital platforms, low digital literacy, and complicated user interface. In uMkhanyakude, uptake of digital mental health apps among the young people was low. We recommend that, developers create context-specific digital applications catered for young people from different cultural backgrounds. Socio-economic issues such as affordability also need to be addressed in developing these tools.
