Summary

This pilot study aims to evaluate the feasibility and probable impact of a low intensity psychosocial intervention program designed to help individuals to manage their stress levels. Consequently, this study will implement and measure the feasibility, randomization, retention, assessment procedures, and preliminary effects of the Self-Help Plus (SH+) program developed by the World Health Organization. This intervention, which has been used among immigrants and has proven to be effective, is intended to be implemented for the first time among distressed young Turkish-speaking women in Türkiye (ages between 18 and 29). Participants who will receive this intervention program will be compared with others in the control group who experience similar stress levels but will not receive SH+ during the trial period. Participants in the control group will receive SH+ after the completion of follow-up assessments at 3 months.

Self-Help Plus

Self-Help Plus (SH+): SH+ is a five-session stress management program developed by the World Health Organization (WHO). The program is designed to be administered in a group format for maximum of 30 participants. Facilitators are not required to be mental health professionals. The best way to implement the program is to train non-specialists from the local communities where it will be delivered. These community members may become facilitators following a brief training. The program is composed of listening to pre-recorded audios along with some group discussions moderated by the facilitators.
