“…Most pronounced were increases in emotional awareness that were reported by most of the participants during follow-up interviews. Such increases in (emotional) awareness are in line with previous findings from qualitative studies in healthy participants and patients (Bos et al, 2020;Kauer et al, 2012;Moitra, Gaudiano, Davis, & Ben-Zeev, 2017;Smelror, Bless, Hugdahl, & Agartz, 2019;Turner, Arayasirikul, Trujillo, Lê, & Wilson, 2019;Van Dam et al, 2019;Widdershoven et al, 2019).…”

Since the introduction of the experience sampling method (ESM), there have been concerns that the repeated assessments typically related to this method may alter the behavior, thoughts, or feelings of participants. Previous studies have offered mixed results with some studies reporting reactive changes while others failed to find such effects. Our aim was to investigate under which circumstances ESM induces reactive effects.Students (N = 151) were randomly assigned to receive a questionnaire containing 30 or 60 items 3, 6, or 9 times per day for 14 days. A random sample of 50 participants took part in qualitative interviews after the end of the data collection. We investigated changes over time in the data, while taking into account the sampling protocol and characteristics of participants, and analyzed qualitative reports of measurement reactivity.Decreases in completion time, within-person variance of ratings and subjective reports of habituation point towards the existence of a habituation period. While participants also reported increases in emotional awareness in interviews, ESM measures indicated a decrease in emotional awareness over time. Changes in behavior were rare in quantitative and qualitative reports. Positive affect was found to decrease over time in the ESM data and various changes in affect, emotion regulation, and thoughts were reported in interviews. Individual characteristics and sampling protocol had inconsistent effects on changes over time.The current results suggest that ESM induces reactivity. These reactive changes may be particularly relevant to researchers investigating within-person variability, completion times, affect, or emotional awareness.

“…Foram identificados 253 estudos e, com base nos critérios de inclusão/exclusão, obteve-se um total de 46 estudos primários para análise, publicados entre 2015 e 2020. Alguns específicos para alguma condição clínica, por exemplo, Transtornos Alimentares, 16,24,38,52 e outros mais abrangentes como o automonitoramento do humor geral, 11,17,22,27,34 e destinados a alguma população específica como a de jovens indígenas 15 ou veteranos de guerra. 10,18,20,41 De todos os artigos, 73,9% tinham como objetivo o desenvolvimento de um App ou sua eficácia, indicando que se trata de uma área em crescimento com vistas a suprir a demanda por novas abordagens de tratamento.…”

“…Considerando que as publicações encontradas foram produzidas a partir de 2015, observa-se que pesquisas na área de autogestão em SM constituem um campo novo e em expansão. O ano de maior concentração foi 2019 [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45]. Acredita-se que esse número crescerá em decorrência da necessidade de pesquisas relacionadas com Apps e a popularização das tecnologias móveis.…”

Explorando o uso de aplicativos móveis para autogestão do tratamento em saúde mental: scoping review

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Objetivo: mapear a literatura científica produzida sobre aplicativos móveis para a autogestão do tratamento em saúde mental. Método: revisão de escopo realizada em cinco bases em português, inglês ou espanhol em novembro de 2020 com os descritores mental health, mental illness, mental disorder, psychiatric illness, mobile applications, app, self care, self management e self monitoring. Resultados: encontraram-se 46 artigos relacionados, em sua maioria, com desenvolvimento, eficácia, percepção dos usuários ou busca de aplicativos em lojas especializadas e com foco no automonitoramento do humor (13%) ou gestão de doenças mentais, em geral (23,9%). Conclusão: os estudos evidenciaram variedade e eficácia de aplicativos móveis para diferentes transtornos mentais. A construção de novos aplicativos para autogestão em SM deve ser sustentada em evidências, com participação do público e com amostras representativas que, de fato, retratem as expectativas e motivações do usuário para o uso dessas tecnologias na autogestão de seu tratamento.

“…Navedeno istraživanje je pružilo određena saznanja o opažanju emotikona kod nedepresivnih. O vezi depresivnosti i emotikona govori jedino istraživanje grupe autora (Van Dam et al, 2019) koji su kroz pilot studiju nastojali da provjere da li se na osnovu upotrebe emotikona tokom dužeg vremenskog perioda može utvrditi dominantno afektivno stanje osobe. Takođe su pokušali da ispitaju da li je procjena emotikona (pozitivna ili negativna) povezana sa problemima mentalnog zdravlja.…”

Depression is a state of reduced psychophysical activity that is accompanied by various changes in cognitive, emotional and social functioning. Previous studies have found that depression leads to changes in the recognition of the emotions of others, makes it difficult to direct attention and significantly impairs visual memory. The main goal of this research is to examine the relations between depressive symptoms and visual memory of specific stimuli that show emotions. We also want to examine whether the intensity of depressive symptoms is related to longer reaction time in the experimental task, as well as whether the accuracy of the emoticon’s visual memory depends on the set size. The research was conducted on a sample of 84 participants, students of Faculty of Philosophy in Banja Luka (90% female). The PHQ-9 questionnaire was used to assess depressive symptoms. Visual memory task was created in SuperLab 4.1. for Windows.The results show that there is a partial contribution of moderate depression to the accuracy of emoticon memory with sadness expression. No partial contribution of any category of depression to the memory accuracy of emoticons with the expression of happiness has been determined. A statistically significant negative correlation for the category of “sad” stimuli was obtained between the expression of depressive symptoms and the response time in the experimental task, while no statistically significant correlation was obtained for the second category of stimuli. It was also found that the number of errors increases with the set size. These results can be explained by negative bias and cognitive load in information processing. Key words: visual memory, depression, emoticons, expression of happiness, expression of sadness
