Implementation science study of acceptability, appropriateness, adoption, feasibility, fidelity, cost, penetration and sustainability of community based Mental Health and Psychosocial Service (MHPSS) interventions for conflict victims in primary health Care system of Nepal
The Centre for Mental Health and Counselling-Nepal (CMC-Nepal) has been implementing a four-year project named Psychosocial Counselling for Community Integration of Conflict Victims (PCCICV). It is a Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) intervention started in the year 2021 and targets conflict victims (CVs). The Project aims to support conflict victims with articulating their needs and benefits from the transitional justice process and has two main outcomes i) conflict victims resume stable psycho-social health, and ii) local and provincial government understands and responds to MHPSS needs of CVs.
Aligned with PCCICV, CMC-Nepal is conducting a study entitled, “Implementation Science Study of the Acceptability, Appropriateness, Adoption, Feasibility, Fidelity, Cost, Penetration, and Sustainability of Community-Based Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) Interventions for Conflict Victims in the Primary Health Care System of Nepal”. This research seeks to identify both the challenges and enablers of MHPSS intervention implementation within Nepal’s primary healthcare settings, exploring the program’s scalability.
This study is a collaborative effort between CMC-Nepal and University Research Co., LLC (URC), with funding from USAID’s Health Evaluation and Applied Research Development (HEARD) Project. Technical support is also provided by the URC team and BRAC James P Grant School of Public Health, BRAC University.
