COURSE:NSG401:Health Promotion in Nursing

TOPIC: Promoting Mental Health and Emotional Well-Being Among Adolescents in Urban Settings

Mental health represents a crucial dimension of overall health promotion, gaining heightened significance in contemporary society, particularly among adolescents who navigate distinct challenges inherent to urban environments. This subject matter seamlessly aligns with the core principles explored in the course NSG 401 Health Promotion in Nursing, which underscores the pivotal role that nurses play in the assessment, planning, and implementation of effective strategies aimed at improving mental health outcomes for young individuals. Adolescents occupy a critical stage of development, characterized by heightened vulnerability to a range of mental health issues. Factors such as peer pressure, academic demands, exposure to violence, and the complexities of social media create a multifaceted landscape that can adversely impact their mental well-being. The urban setting, with its unique stressors, can intensify these challenges, resulting in increased incidence rates of anxiety, depression, and behavioral disorders among this demographic.

The motivation for selecting this topic is firmly grounded in the concerning statistics that highlight the prevalence of mental health disorders among adolescents, which rank among the primary causes of disability within this age group. Such disorders carry significant consequences, extending beyond individual suffering to affect academic performance, social interactions, and overall quality of life. Recent findings indicate that the COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated these issues, as many adolescents experienced heightened feelings of isolation, stress, and uncertainty during a time marked by social distancing and disruption of routine. The necessity of focusing on mental health promotion emerges as a critical opportunity for nursing professionals to engage with this vulnerable population effectively. By utilizing evidence-based strategies, nurses can foster resilience and enhance coping skills, equipping adolescents with the tools necessary to navigate their challenges.

To substantiate the discussion on mental health promotion among adolescents in urban contexts, two pertinent peer-reviewed articles have been identified, both published within the last five years. The first article, "Mental health and well-being of children in the Philippine setting during the COVID-19 pandemic," authored byMaloloset al., examines the implementation and effectiveness of school-based mental health programs. These initiatives have demonstrated a significant capacity to alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression in urban adolescents, illustrating the vital role educational institutions can play in mental health support. The second article, authored by Sanchez et al., provides a comprehensive review of community-based interventions designed to enhance access to mental health resources and promote emotional well-being within underserved urban populations. Together, these articles offer a robust foundation for understanding the diverse strategies for mental health promotion tailored to meet the specific needs of adolescents in urban settings. Such an approach ultimately serves to enhance the practice of nursing in this critical area, equipping healthcare professionals with the knowledge and tools to make a meaningful impact on the mental health of young individuals.
