Adolescent mental health has emerged as a critical global issue influenced by social changes, technological advancements, and complex life demands. This study, conducted in Jember, East Java, Indonesia, aimed to explore psychosocial factors influencing adolescents mental health help-seeking intention using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). The research comprised two phases. Phase 1 included 72 students (mean age = 15.86 years, 87% female) from two junior high schools and three senior high schools. These students were interviewed to investigate their beliefs about mental health help-seeking intention through open-ended questions. Phase 2 involved 413 students (mean age = 15.3 years, 52.5% female) from three junior high schools and three senior high schools. This phase developed a model of mental health help-seeking intention based on attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. The study underscored the pivotal role of social support, positive attitudes, and accessible services in shaping adolescents intentions to seek mental health assistance. These findings imply that strengthening social support networks, particularly within family and community contexts, promoting positive attitudes and enhancing service accessibility, could substantially increase adolescents intention to seek help.

This study confirms the significant influence of attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control on adolescents intentions to seek mental health assistance.Positive attitudes towards mental health services, strong social support from parents and teachers, and confidence in accessing services are key factors.The findings highlight the importance of interventions focused on fostering positive attitudes, strengthening supportive social networks, and improving access to mental health resources for adolescents.

Penelitian lebih lanjut perlu dilakukan untuk menguji efektivitas intervensi berbasis sekolah yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan literasi kesehatan mental dan mengurangi stigma di kalangan remaja. Selain itu, penelitian kualitatif mendalam dapat dilakukan untuk memahami lebih lanjut pengalaman remaja dalam mencari bantuan kesehatan mental, termasuk hambatan dan fasilitator yang mereka hadapi. Terakhir, penelitian di masa depan harus mengeksplorasi peran teknologi, seperti aplikasi seluler dan platform daring, dalam meningkatkan aksesibilitas dan penerimaan layanan kesehatan mental bagi remaja, terutama di daerah pedesaan atau terpencil, dengan mempertimbangkan aspek privasi dan keamanan data. Penelitian-penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan wawasan yang lebih komprehensif tentang bagaimana cara terbaik untuk mendukung kesehatan mental remaja dan memastikan mereka mendapatkan bantuan yang mereka butuhkan.
