Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of professional competency training on the psychological commissioners in college,and to provide a reference for promoting mental health education in colleges.
Methods:Using the purposive sampling method, 198 psychological commissioners and 210 nonpsychological commissioners from freshmen in a university in Nanjing were selected for questionnaire survey. SPSS 21.0 statistic software was utilized for data analysis.
Results:The levels of knowledge and skills of mental health practice among trained psychological commissioners showed no difference with those nonpsychological commissioner students before training(t=0.34, -0.08, P>0.05). Compared with pretraining, the paired sample ttest indicated that knowledge, practical skills, and expected skills among qualified psychological commissioners increased significantly after training, respectively(t=23.34, 23.21, 3.30, P<0.01). Understanding of job duty, basic helping skills, interpersonal communication, mental problems among college students, classroombased psychological activities, psychological counseling, mental disorders identification, group counseling and crisis intervention increased significantly after training(P<0.01).
Conclusion:The professional competency training could substantially improve mental health practice, skills, as well as attitudes among psychological commissioners recruited from college freshmen.
