Developing Crisis Coping Strategies using Nominal Group Technique for Psychological Distress Management

Abstract

This article solicits the opinions of seven professionals in the field of mental health in order to provide solutions for dealing with psychological crises through the application of the Nominal Group Technique (NGT). Four expert-approved approaches received acceptance scores between 90.48% and 100%. NGT facilitated quick and reliable validation of elements derived from literature reviews and expert consultations. Those working on individualised therapy modules for mental illness should be involved in future studies aimed at improving these approaches.
