Abstract
Introduction: The mental health burden and treatment gap in South and South-East Asia is high and significant. Capacity building of healthcare workers is essential to support programmes related to the detection and management of patients with mental health conditions. We aim to conduct a systematic review to summarize the research on educational, training and capacity building interventions aimed at the healthcare workforce in detection and management of mental health conditions in South and South-East Asia.
Objective: To synthesize evidence on (1) the types of educational and training interventions that have been used to improve the knowledge, skills and attitudes of healthcare workers in South and South-East Asian countries in the detection and management of mental health conditions, (2) the effectiveness, including cost effectiveness of the interventions and (3) the enabling factors and barriers that influence the effectiveness of these interventions.
Methods and analysis: This review will be conducted in accordance with PRIMSA-SR guidelines. We will search six electronic databases: MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Cochrane Library, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) and Global Health for empirical studies published from 1 January 2000 to 31 August 2020. Search results from each database will be combined and uploaded in Covidence library. Title, abstract and full text screening, and data extraction of each included study will be performed by two independent reviewers. Disagreements between reviewers will be resolved by a third reviewer and study team. Quality of included studies will be assessed by the modified Cochrane Collaboration tool and ROBINS-I tool. Data will be synthesized and if a meta-analysis is not appropriate, a stepwise thematic analysis will be performed.
Ethics and dissemination: Ethics approval is not required for this study. Findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications, fact sheets, multimedia press briefings, conferences, seminars and symposia.
