“…Prioritising and sorting topics was performed individually on a computer using Ariadne software, which is designed to support concept mapping. 23,24 Participants were asked to prioritise the topics by dividing them into five equal groups, group 1 being defined as 'least important to discuss', and group 5 as 'most important to discuss'. Afterwards, sorting took place as each participant was asked to cluster those statements that they considered similar in content.…”

BackgroundThe apparent rise of antidepressant use seems to be explained to a large extent by an increase in long-term use. Both professionals and patients appear reluctant to discontinue antidepressant medication (ADM). It is not known what factors determine this reluctance.AimThis study aimed to identify factors that enable the shared decision-making process about discontinuation of ADM between long-term users and their GPs.Design and settingConcept-mapping study of a purposive sample of both patients and professionals from primary and secondary mental health care in the Netherlands.MethodConcept mapping was used to conceptualise and structure the topics relevant to the discontinuation process from the perspective of both patients and professionals. Participants generated topics in brainstorming sessions and subsequently prioritised and sorted them. Multidimensional scaling and hierarchical cluster analyses were used for the cluster topics.ResultsThirty-seven patients and 27 professionals generated 50 separate topics. Hierarchical cluster analysis revealed six clusters of topics: ‘Process of discontinuation’, ‘Expectations’, ‘Professional guidance’, ‘Current use’, ‘Environment’, and ‘Side effects’. Patients and professionals came up with largely similar topics. Nevertheless, a difference was found between these groups regarding the perceived importance of professional guidance.ConclusionThis study yielded an informed selection of the topics that seem most important to discuss when considering whether to discontinue ADM. As perspectives of both patients and professionals were combined, the topics may provide patients and GPs with a broader and more balanced scope of factors to consider, and thus facilitate a better shared decision-making process.

Helpful Factors in the Treatment of Depression from the Patient’s, Carer’s and Professional’s Perspective: A Concept Map Study

ObjectiveDepression research has resulted in knowledge about neurobiology, pharmacological strategies and short-term cost-effective treatments. However, more than two-thirds of all depressed patients experience insufficient improvement. Therefore, a better understanding of what patients, carers and professionals perceive as most helpful in the treatment of depression is needed.MethodsConcept mapping, a mixed-method design, was used to identify the patients (n = 33), carers (n = 22) and professionals (n = 50) perspectives. In six brainstorm sessions, the patients, carers and professionals generated 795 ideas, which were condensed into 55 unique statements. Subsequently, 100 participants prioritized and sorted these statements, which were analysed by multidimensional scaling and cluster analysis and visualized as a two-dimensional map.ResultsThe 55 statements were clustered in 10 factors and further grouped into four main-factors (meta-clusters): ‘Professional therapist’, ‘Treatment content’, ‘Structured treatment process’ and ‘Treatment organisation’. Patients and carers prioritized ‘Treatment organisation’ higher than professionals, but overall there was considerable agreement about the factors of treatment the participants perceived as most helpful including factors related to the therapeutic relationship and the ‘creation of hope’.ConclusionsOur study identified factors of depression treatment perceived as helpful according to patients, carers and professionals. Findings suggest that in a scientific era with emphasis on biological psychiatry, not only patients and carers, but also professionals consider aspecific factors the most helpful. Further studies might show that factors we found to be helpful in the treatment for depression, can be generalized to mental health treatment in general.

“…CM is participatory in nature and consists of five phases: (1) brainstorming, (2) rating, (3) sorting, (4) statistical analysis & visual representation and (5) interpretation. The use of CM is well established and has been applied to many topics in (mental) health care (Brown, 2004;De Ridder, Depla, Severens, & Malsch, 1997;Johnsen, Biegel, & Shafran, 2000;Nabitz, van Randeraad-van der Zee, Kok, van Bon-Martens, & Serverens, 2017;Shern, Trochim, & LaComb, 1995). The systematic techniques used in the rating and sorting phase are broadly used in research and add rigor to the data collection (Rosas & Kane, 2012).…”
