Design and development process of patient-centered computer-based support system for patients with schizophrenia spectrum psychosis

Abstract

The effectiveness needs to be evaluated carefully in future clinical trials. This will offer valuable information for policymakers, organizations and health care practitioners about the usability of web-based patient education in the area of mental health care.

Online, social media and mobile technologies for psychosis treatment: A systematic review on novel user-led interventions

“…Acceptability, usability and safety of online and mobile-based interventions 3.1.1. Web-based psycho-education and CBT Three pilot studies provided data on the usability and acceptability of web-based psycho-education (Valimaki et al, 2008;Anttila et al, 2012) and interactive CBT (Gottlieb et al, 2013) for patients with chronic schizophrenia delivered in hospital-based settings (Table 1). Overall patients considered the web-based interventions to be usable (Valimaki et al, 2008) and helpful (Gottlieb et al, 2013).…”

Overall patients considered the web-based interventions to be usable (Valimaki et al, 2008) and helpful (Gottlieb et al, 2013). One study reported that 73 (79%) patients attended all 6 programmed psychoeducation sessions, with 69 (74%) successfully completing the set tasks (Anttila et al, 2012).…”

“…Two of the included studies examined the acceptability/use of online-based interventions and 9 provided data on intervention effects. The interventions evaluated consisted of web-based psycho-education (Valimaki et al, 2008;Yakirevitch et al, 2010;Steinwachs et al, 2011;Anttila et al, 2012); web-based psycho-education plus moderated forums for patients and supporters (Glynn et al, 2010;Rotondi et al, 2010); Fig. 1.…”

“…Patients' mean age ranged from 20.3 to 50 years and supporters' mean age varied from 47 to 57 years. Seven studies recruited patients with chronic schizophrenia (Valimaki et al, 2008;Yakirevitch et al, 2010;Steinwachs et al, 2011;Anttila et al, 2012;Granholm et al, 2012;van der Krieke et al, 2012;Gottlieb et al, 2013), 4 studies recruited patients with chronic schizophrenia and their relatives/supporters (Spaniel et al, 2008a;Glynn et al, 2010;Rotondi et al, 2010;Spaniel et al, 2012), and 1 recruited young people with first-episode psychosis (FEP) (Alvarez-Jimenez et al, 2013). Four studies employed a randomized controlled design (Rotondi et al, 2010;Yakirevitch et al, 2010;Steinwachs et al, 2011;Spaniel et al, 2012), 2 studies included nonrandomized comparison groups (Glynn et al, 1990;Spaniel et al, 2008a), 4 used uncontrolled single-group pre-post designs (Anttila et al, 2012;Granholm et al, 2012;Alvarez-Jimenez et al, 2013;Gottlieb et al, 2013), and 2 tested the acceptability/usability of an online intervention in a single session (Valimaki et al, 2008;van der Krieke et al, 2012).…”

“…It used video tutorials, interactive games and quizzes to enhance engagement and an anonymous social feed or forum Delivery: Sessions took place in offices at the mental health centers integrated web-based therapy, social networking and peer and expert moderation (Alvarez-Jimenez et al, 2013); web-based CBT (Gottlieb et al, 2013); personalized advice based on routine clinical monitoring (van der Krieke et al, 2012), and mobile-based interventions (Spaniel et al, 2008a;Granholm et al, 2012;Spaniel et al, 2012). Six interventions were evaluated in admission units or controlled environments (Valimaki et al, 2008;Yakirevitch et al, 2010;Steinwachs et al, 2011;Anttila et al, 2012;van der Krieke et al, 2012;Gottlieb et al, 2013) and 6 were delivered remotely in real world settings via Internet enabled or mobile devices (Spaniel et al, 2008a;Glynn et al, 2010;Rotondi et al, 2010;Granholm et al, 2012;Spaniel et al, 2012;Alvarez-Jimenez et al, 2013). Table 1 depicts the characteristics of the selected studies.…”
