ItemPostpartum depression: a comparison of knowledge and attitude between the family members of postpartum womenPostpartum Depression (PPD) is a common complication that mostly occurs during the postpartum period with the consequence of negative health outcomes for women and infants as well as other family members. The relatives of women are the first group that can notice abnormal signs and symptoms of PPD after discharge from the hospital. This study was a cross-sectional survey, aiming to explore knowledge and attitudes of 400 postpartum women’s family members regarding PPD. A self-administered survey questionnaire was used for data collection. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistic. The findings show that family members, both husbands and female relatives, had positive attitudes and good knowledge about causes and risks of PPD. However, misunderstanding and wrong beliefs with regard to PPD were addressed. Therefore, health education on PPD should be provided for family members of postpartum women throughout pregnancy and postpartum periods.

ItemThe effect of mental health literacy on psychological help-seeking intention, among Thai undergraduate students in BangkokThis study aimed to examine the effect of mental health literacy on psychological help-seeking intention, mediated by social stigma and self-stigma (at level 1) and attitudes toward seeking psychological help (at level 2) as posited in the form of 4 nested models. Based on the data from 1000 young adult Thai undergraduate students from universities across Bangkok, Thailand. The results revealed that the research instruments were psychometrically sound, that the full path model (model number 4) was the best fitting model, and that the students' mental health literacy had a positive effect on their attitudes and psychological help-seeking intention. This literacy level led to the students being highly aware of the stigmas present in their context, which was reflected in their stigma scores. Social stigma and self-stigma negatively mediated the effect of mental health literacy on attitudes and intention. And ultimately, attitudes had a direct positive effect on students' psychological help-seeking intention. The proposed model was adequate in predicting the students' psychological help-seeking intention
