全球心理健康（GMH）涉及可持续地减轻精神痛苦和促进全世界的健康权，在人道主义-发展-和平关系的各种情况下进行实践。全球卫生保健固有的跨部门和多学科性质要求具备体现多样性、非殖民化和多专业精神的能力框架和培训方案。现有的能力框架未能捕捉当代GMH实践的多部门、跨专业性质。针对这些需求，对相关招聘广告进行了定性内容分析，以提炼出当代GMH实践中的一套全面的专业能力。从70个招聘广告中提取了大约200种不同的技能和能力，并将其分为四个元维度：“技能”、“部门”、“自我”和“主题”。这是对多部门GMH能力框架的首次系统性尝试，为探索韧性、自我反思、政治技能和创业精神等重要但被忽视的专业能力提供了一个跳板。在此基础上，提出了建立一支具有多样化和面向未来的技能的胜任、敏捷和有效的GMH员工队伍的建议。该框架还可以为跨专业培训和课程设计以及旨在早期职业专业发展的能力建设倡议提供信息，特别是在低收入和中等收入环境中。
Concerned with sustainably alleviating mental distress and promoting the right to health worldwide, global mental health (GMH) is practised across various contexts spanning the humanitarian-development-peace nexus. The inherently intersectoral and multidisciplinary nature of GMH calls for competency frameworks and training programmes that embody diversity, decolonisation and multiprofessionalism. Existing competency frameworks have failed to capture the multi-sectoral, inter-professional nature of contemporary GMH practice. In response to these needs, a qualitative content analysis of relevant job advertisements was conducted to distil a comprehensive set of professional competencies in contemporary GMH practice. Approximately 200 distinct skills and competencies were extracted from 70 job advertisements and organised into four meta-dimensions: ‘skills’, ‘sector’, ‘self’ and ‘subject’. The first known systematic attempt at a multi-sectoral GMH competency framework, it offers a springboard for exploring vital yet overlooked professional competencies such as resilience, self-reflection, political skills and entrepreneurialism. On this basis, recommendations for building a competent, agile and effective GMH workforce with diversified and future-proof skillsets are proposed. The framework can also inform inter-professional training and curriculum design, and capacity-building initiatives aimed at early-career professional development, particularly in low- and middle-income settings.
