尽管心理健康状况对疾病负担有重大贡献，但非洲没有足够的证据为政策、规划和服务提供信息。因此，有必要在非洲公共心理健康研究人员和从业人员的领导下进行心理健康研究能力建设，以推动当地的研究优先事项。非洲心理健康研究人员激励和装备（ARISE）的目的是开发一个为期一年的公共心理健康研究生文凭（PGDip），以解决目前在公共心理健康培训方面的差距。在线进行了36次个人访谈，有三组参与者：南非相关PGDips课程召集人，国际公共心理健康学位课程召集人和非洲公共心理健康领域的利益攸关方。访谈者收集了以下方面的信息：方案交付、非洲公共精神卫生培训需求、促进者的经验、成功实施的障碍和解决办法。转录的访谈进行了分析，由两个编码器使用主题分析。与会者认为，以非洲为重点的PGDip方案是可以接受的，有可能解决非洲的公共心理健康研究和业务能力差距。与会者为PGDip提出了若干建议，包括：㈠该方案应遵循人权、社会正义、多样性和包容性原则; ㈡内容反映非洲公众的心理健康需求;（三）PGDip教师熟练掌握在线课程的教学和开发材料，以及（四）PGDip将被设计为与学习设计师合作的完全在线或混合学习计划。研究结果为如何传达适合快速发展的公共心理健康领域的关键原则和技能，同时跟上高等教育的变化提供了宝贵的见解。所得出的信息为新的研究生公共心理健康计划的课程设计，实施和质量改进战略提供了信息。
Despite the significant contribution of mental health conditions to the burden of disease, there is insufficient evidence from Africa to inform policy, planning and service delivery. Thus, there is a need for mental health research capacity building, led by African public mental health researchers and practitioners, to drive local research priorities. The aim of African mental health Researchers Inspired and Equipped (ARISE) was to develop a one-year postgraduate diploma (PGDip) in public mental health to address the current gaps in public mental health training. Thirty-six individual interviews were conducted online with three groups of participants: course convenors of related PGDips in South Africa, course convenors of international public mental health degree programmes and stakeholders active in public mental health in Africa. The interviewers elicited information regarding: programme delivery, training needs in African public mental health, and experiences of facilitators, barriers and solutions to successful implementation. The transcribed interviews were analysed by two coders using thematic analysis. Participants found the Africa-focused PGDip programme acceptable with the potential to address public mental health research and operational capacity gaps in Africa. Participants provided several recommendations for the PGDip, including that: (i) the programme be guided by the principles of human rights, social justice, diversity and inclusivity; (ii) the content reflect African public mental health needs; (iii) PGDip faculty be skilled in teaching and developing material for online courses and (iv) the PGDip be designed as a fully online or blended learning programme in collaboration with learning designers. The study findings provided valuable insight into how to communicate key principles and skills suited to the rapidly developing public mental health field while keeping pace with changes in higher education. The information elicited has informed curriculum design, implementation and quality improvement strategies for the new postgraduate public mental health programme.
