Correlation between Mental Health Education and Effective Implementation of the Fifth Industrial Revolution among Educated Adolescents in Oyo

Abstract

Public understanding of health and mental issues is still inadequate. This study examined the correlation between mental health education and the effective implementation of the Fifth Industrial Revolution (5IR). Five 500 hundred educated adolescents aged 18 to 45 years were used. A questionnaire with a reliability coefficient of 0.69 was used for data collection. Pearson productmoment correlation was used to ascertain the degree of relationship existing between mental health education and effective implementation of the fifth industrial revolution (5IR). Multiple regression analysis was used to confirm the amount of contribution that mental health education made to the variance in the implementation of 5IR. The two hypotheses formulated were rejected. Mental health education was found to have contributed 65.4% to the variance of effectiveness in the implementation of 5IR. Recommendations made emphasized that mental health education should be taught in all the tertiary institutions to make our adolescents aware of the need to be mentally healthy always. They should be mentally prepared to endure the rigour of combining human with machine efforts to achieve the goal of mental health. 5IR
