The aim of the present study is to assess the efficacy of a mobile application called esTOCma in promoting mental health literacy reducing stigmatizing attitudes related to the Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder OCD and improving teachers confidence in dealing with students that might have OCD A parallel randomized controlled trial with two conditions experimental and control group will be carried out in a sample of teachers that work in primary and secondary education Pre-post changes will be assessed Experimental group will use the app until they finish it within a set period of 10 days whereas control group will do nothing for 10 days Primarily it is expected that after the use of the app participants will show an improvement in OCD-related literacy stigmatizing attitudes desired social distance and their comfort confidence and perceived ability in teaching and handling students with OCD Secondarily the investigators hypothesize that experimental group might show a reduction in obsessive-compulsive symptoms
Detailed Description:
Adolescence is a critical stage that is associated with a high vulnerability to developing obsessive-compulsive disorder OCD Schools are part of the natural developmental context of adolescents and teachers are involved in their education and personal development In this sense teachers play an essential role in the early detection and referral of students with possible obsessional symptoms and will also have to deal with the management of this symptomatology in the classroom Moreover teachers often have low knowledge of mental health problems and lack strategies for handling mental symptomatology in the classroom
esTOCma is a mobile health mHealth application that has been developed to promote mental health literacy and reduce stigmatizing attitudes associated with OCD Previous studies have shown that it is a tool with great potential in terms of intervention on stigma and OCD literacy in the general population Thus it could be of great interest to use this app in the field of education and especially in non-university education primary and secondary education since adolescents a highly vulnerable collective to the development of OCD spend much of their time in the classroom and often seek help from school staff
