A mixed methods systematic review of digital interventions to support the psychological health and well-being of people living with dermatological conditions

Abstract: BackgroundDermatological conditions can have a substantial impact on psychological as well as physical health yet dedicated face-to-face psychological support for patients is lacking.

“…Furthermore, it coincides with niche themes such as engagement and usability (also associated with feasibility and acceptability) and their associations with a broader range of research designs (e.g., participatory design), which were all in all less frequently represented in the data. This diversification in research methodologies reflects a broader shift towards a more holistic understanding of mental health interventions, recognising the importance of both quantitative outcomes and qualitative insights to address complex psychological phenomena exacerbated by global crises like the COVID-19 pandemic [ 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 ].…”

Engagement with an adherence-supporting app over a four-week period has been shown to improve adherence to topical treatment when compared to adherence in patients not using the app (65 % vs 35 %, respectively) (Svendsen et al, 2018)).…”
