“…All the staff who attended the NES intervention completed the baseline survey; however, it is perhaps disappointing that very few staff (14%) responded to the baseline survey sent out by email. An overall response rate of 40% for this survey is reasonable and comparable to response rates from surveys previously undertaken within this sample8 and email surveys more generally 9. Responders represented a variety of job roles within OHFT and therefore results are thought to be generalisable across the service.…”

Background Technology and the internet has enabled rapid access to research but most mental health professionals do not have time to keep up with the vast and growing scientific literature. Secondary information sources, such as the National Elf Service (NES), aim to summarise the most important and up-to-date research to improve mental health professionals' access to information to support evidence-based medicine (EBM). Objective To explore mental health professionals' attitudes towards evidence-based practice and methods used to keep up-to-date with research.

“…Recruitment for service users diagnosed with schizophrenia often involves approaching patients via staff; therefore, it seems particularly important to consider the role of staff within study recruitment. For example, a recent study reported that 1 in 5 mental health staff report having never recruited a service user into a research study [ 25 ].…”

Background Recruitment processes for clinical trials of digital interventions for psychosis are seldom described in detail in the literature. Although trial staff have expertise in describing barriers to and facilitators of recruitment, a specific focus on understanding recruitment from the point of view of trial staff is rare, and because trial staff are responsible for meeting recruitment targets, a lack of research on their point of view is a key limitation. Objective The primary aim of this study was to understand recruitment from the point of view of trial staff and discover what they consider important. Methods We applied pluralistic ethnographic methods, including analysis of trial documents, observation, and focus groups, and explored the recruitment processes of the EMPOWER (Early Signs Monitoring to Prevent Relapse in Psychosis and Promote Well-being, Engagement, and Recovery) feasibility trial, which is a digital app–based intervention for people diagnosed with schizophrenia. Results Recruitment barriers were categorized into 2 main themes: service characteristics (lack of time available for mental health staff to support recruitment, staff turnover, patient turnover [within Australia only], management styles of community mental health teams, and physical environment) and clinician expectations (filtering effects and resistance to research participation). Trial staff negotiated these barriers through strategies such as emotional labor (trial staff managing feelings and expressions to successfully recruit participants) and trying to build relationships with clinical staff working within community mental health teams. Conclusions Researchers in clinical trials for digital psychosis interventions face numerous recruitment barriers and do their best to work flexibly and to negotiate these barriers and meet recruitment targets. The recruitment process appeared to be enhanced by trial staff supporting each other throughout the recruitment stage of the trial.

Background: Recruitment processes for clinical trials of digital interventions for psychosis are seldom described in detail within the literature. While trial staff have expertise in describing barriers and facilitators to recruitment a specific focus on understanding recruitment from the point of view of trial staff is rare.Methods: We applied pluralistic ethnographic methods including analysis of trial documents, observation and focus groups explored the recruitment processes of the EMPOWER feasibility trial (ISRCTN: 99559262).Results: Recruitment barriers fell into two main themes; service characteristics (lack of time available to mental health staff to support recruitment, staff turnover, patient turnover (within Australia only), management styles of community mental health teams, physical environment) and clinician expectations (filtering effects and resistance to research participation). Trial staff negotiated these barriers through strategies such as emotional labour (trial staff managing feelings and expressions in order to successfully recruit participants) and trying to build relationships with clinical staff working within community mental health teams.Conclusions: Researchers in clinical trials for digital psychosis interventions face numerous recruitment barriers and do their best to work flexibly negotiate these barriers and meet recruitment targets. The recruitment process appeared to be enhanced by trial staff supporting each other throughout the recruitment stage of the trial.Trial Registration: (ISRCTN: 99559262 registered 21/12/2015)
