El mundo se enfrenta a graves consecuencias derivadas de la falta de servicios y tratamientos de salud mental. Todos los países, culturas y comunidades padecen enfermedades mentales y la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) afirma que el 10% de la carga global de enfermedad está relacionada con... trastornos mentales y neurológicos, así como con el consumo de sustancias. En los países de renta baja y media, más del 75% de las personas con trastornos mentales no reciben ningún tratamiento. En 2020, como resultado de la pandemia mundial, el 93% de los países comunicaron que sus servicios de salud mental se habían detenido o interrumpido (OMS, 2020e). La OMS ha denunciado un incremento del 25% solo en las tasas de depresión y ansiedad durante la pandemia. La Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económicos estima que el coste de la depresión y la ansiedad para la economía mundial asciende a 1 billón de dólares estadounidenses al año. Todas las enfermeras tienen una función de prestación de cuidados en materia de salud mental y consumo de sustancias. El CIE aboga firmemente por inversiones en más formación y desarrollo profesional en esta área con el fin de ayudar a las personas y comunidades a lograr el mayor nivel posible de salud, en particular bienestar físico, mental y social.

A global call to action to protect the mental health of health and care workers
A global shortage of an estimated 18 million health workers is anticipated by 2030, a record 130 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance, and there is the global threat of pandemics such as COVID-19. At least 400 million people worldwide lack access to the most essential health service...s, and every year 100 million people are plunged into poverty because they have to pay for healthcare out of their own pockets. There is, therefore, an urgent need to find innovative strategies that go beyond the conventional health-sector response.

Self-Help Plus (SH+) is WHO’s 5-session stress management course for large groups of up to 30 people.
