“…Anxiety and depression are two of the most prevalent mental health disorders, affecting 29% and 21%, respectively, of people across their lifetime (Kessler et al, 2005). The economic impact is immense (Doran & Kinchin, 2019), both in direct costs to healthcare systems (Australian Institute of Health & Welfare, 2018) and indirect costs to the community (Lee et al, 2017). The opportunities afforded by electronic mental health (e-mental health) programs and services that aim to treat and manage mental health problems has been recognized for two decades (Barak & Grohol, 2011).…”

The aim of this review was to scope the growth and development of implementation research of e‐mental healthcare programs for anxiety and depression, the research and evaluation tools used, and the specific implementation processes and outcomes examined. A search of four electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and CINAHL) was conducted from January 2000 to January 2019. Of 33 studies identified, most (n = 28) were published in the last five years. Only 10 used an implementation framework to guide implementation or evaluation. Most studies reported on acceptability (n = 28), appropriateness (n = 23), and feasibility (n = 17). Less commonly reported implementation outcomes were fidelity (n = 10) and adoption (n = 7); with penetration (n = 4), sustainability (n = 3), and implementation cost (n = 2) being studied rarely. Of the 21 studies that used surveys to study implementation outcomes, less than half used a previously published survey (n = 9). More rigorous implementation studies, underpinned by strong theory and real‐world understanding, are urgently needed.

“…66 Similarly, the economic burden of mental illness in Canada will increase six-fold over the next 30 years, with costs likely to exceed 2.7 trillion CAD. 67 Within the Canadian finite-envelope health care funding system, the ability to adequately meet all of the physical and mental health needs of individuals with SCI/D will be challenging given the substantial costs associated with SCI/D and mental health services. As well, there is inequity in the availability of resources across the country, with urban centers having more access to specialized services within both hospital and the community setting to meet the needs of individuals with SCI/D compared to rural regions.…”

Context: Emotional Well-Being (EWB) post-spinal cord injury or disease (SCI/D) is a critical aspect of adjustment to disability. Advancing care and assuring equity in care delivery within this rehabilitation care domain is essential. Herein, we describe the selection of EWB structure, process and outcome indicators for adults with SCI/D in the first 18 months after rehabilitation admission. Methods: A pan-Canadian Working Group completed the following tasks: (1) defined the EWB construct; (2) conducted a systematic review of available outcomes and their psychometric properties; (3) constructed a Driver diagram summarizing available evidence associated with EWB; and, (4) prepared a process map. Facilitated meetings allowed selection and review of feedback following rapid-cycle evaluations of proposed structure, process and outcome indicators. Results: The structure indicator is the proportion of staff with appropriate education and training in EWB and access to experts and resources. The process indicator is the proportion of SCI/D patients who were screened for depression and anxiety symptoms at rehabilitation admission and rehabilitation discharge. The intermediary outcome is the proportion of SCI/D patients at risk for depression or anxiety at rehabilitation discharge based on screening symptom scores. The final outcomes are: (a) proportion of individuals at risk for depression or anxiety based on screening symptom scores; and (b) proportion of individuals who received referral for EWB services or intervention. Conclusion: The proposed indicators have a low administrative burden and will ensure feasibility of screening for depression and anxiety at important transition points for individuals with SCI/D. We anticipate that the current structures have inadequate resources for at-risk individuals identified during the screening process.

Mental health applications (mHealth apps) have a potential role to contribute to the prevention and treatment of mental illness and to ease the burden on health systems (Bakker, Kazantzis, Rickwood, & Rickard, 2016).…”
