Abstract
Objective: This qualitative study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a culturally adapted psychosocial intervention delivered by social workers for improving mental health outcomes among Saudi Arabian youth.
Methods: A purposive sample of 24 Saudi Arabian youth (aged 15-24) who participated in the culturally adapted psychosocial intervention was recruited. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to explore their experiences and perspectives on the intervention's effectiveness. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data.
Results: Four main themes emerged: (1) cultural relevance and acceptability of the intervention, (2) improved coping strategies and resilience, (3) enhanced social support and connectedness, and (4) reduced mental health stigma. Participants reported that the intervention was culturally appropriate, helped them develop effective coping mechanisms, fostered social connectedness, and reduced stigma associated with mental health issues.
Conclusions: The culturally adapted psychosocial intervention delivered by social workers appears to be an effective approach for improving mental health outcomes among Saudi Arabian youth. The findings highlight the importance of cultural adaptation and social worker involvement in youth mental health interventions.
