This study aimed to assess teachers' knowledge, attitudes, practices, skills, and perceived barriers in providing psychosocial support to students in Jordan.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title><jats:p>The sample included teachers working in public schools, private schools, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) schools, and Zaatari camp schools, as well as non\u2010formal education centers. The study utilized a multi\u2010stage stratified cluster sampling technique to select a nationally representative sample.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 549 teachers were included, and only 25.2% have ever received mental health training. Most teachers reported a high level of good and acceptable knowledge of psychosocial support and had a positive attitude toward the provision of psychosocial support, however, about a quarter (25.5%) agreed on feeling nervous in discussing students' psychosocial problems with their parents or school administrators. The least enacted practice was the systematic engagement with parents, school administration, and other community resources in students' well\u2010being (sometimes, 31.6%; rarely, 20.4%). Gaps in skills were mainly in communicating with external resources and parents. The main barriers included parents' misunderstanding of teachers' role in providing psychosocial support to students (56.8%), lack of integration of psychosocial support in the curriculum (55.6%), and challenges in identifying students with psychosocial problems due to large class sizes (54.3%).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title><jats:p>The results show that gaps extend beyond the individual level of teachers to the community level. School\u2010based psychosocial support interventions must consider the multiple factors that influence their implementation at multiple levels, including the individual, relational, community, and societal levels.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/josh.13459","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,7]],"date-time":"2024-05-07T06:24:51Z","timestamp":1715063091000},"page":"744-753","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["The Provision of Psychosocial Support to Students in Jordan: Teachers' Knowledge, Attitudes, Skills, Practices, and Perceived Barriers"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"94","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6172-6898","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sara","family":"Abu Khudair","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Eastern Mediterranean Public Health Network (EMPHNET), Amman 11196, Jordan, and Health Sciences Unit Tampere University  33100 Tampere Finland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7830-6857","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yousef","family":"Khader","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Community Medicine, Public Health and Family Medicine, Faculty of Medicine Jordan University of Science and Technology  Irbid 22110 Jordan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1212-1611","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohannad","family":"Al Nsour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Eastern Mediterranean Public Health Network (EMPHNET)  Amman 11196 Jordan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9979-0222","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eizaburo","family":"Tanaka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Arts and Sciences The University of Tokyo, 3\u20108\u20101 Komaba Meguro Tokyo, Japan  Tokyo Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/S00787\u2010022\u201002040\u20104"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/JAMAPEDIATRICS.2021.2482"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/NYAS.14947"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/children10071165"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","unstructured":"ReliefWeb.Utilization of mental health and psychosocial support services among Syrian refugees and Jordanians.
