ABSTRACT

While the study of the implementation of preventive interventions for mental health problems at work is increasingly popular, it is as yet difficult to identify the factors that facilitate or hinder their success. This chapter aims to partly address this gap by reviewing the factors that facilitate or hinder the implementation of preventive interventions in the area of mental health in the workplace, based on three intervention research projects carried out in Quebec (Canada) over the past ten years. Among the factors revealed by the analyses, three were more specifically related to the context of the interventions, while eight were more specifically related to the intervention process itself. Depending on the specific ways in which these factors manifest themselves, they can either facilitate or hinder the successful implementation of an intervention process. The authors explain in detail the impact of these factors and offer overall considerations for the implementation of such interventions.
