“…The recovery model allows patients to take control of their lives and make health choices in a more informed way which is the aim of these technologies (Sterling et al, 2010;Zou et al, 2013). A partnership between clinicians and users concerning mobile applications use as part of a shared decision-making process could benefit people with psychotic disorders recovery.…”

Aim Based on the design of applications for psychotic disorders illness self-management, this study aimed to understand patients’ patterns of technology usage, as well as their expectations and requirements concerning the design of an app for rehabilitation and illness management purposes. It also aimed to identify guidelines for mobile application development for this population. Method After a literature review, a questionnaire was developed, focused on behaviours and opinions about technology usage. It was applied, through a cross-sectional study, to a sample of 102 users of mental health services with psychotic disorders (62% men; with ages between 22 and 66 years old). Results Nearly 59% of the participants were willing to download an app for illness self-management, and 51% evaluated as essential the self-management of their mental health condition. However, correlation analysis revealed that the more years with mental illness, the less importance is given to an app for this purpose. Conclusion The use of mobile technologies seems to the have potential to empower individuals with mental health problems, especially younger ones and those in early disease stages. Concerns about privacy/security should be considered, as well as simple screening designs and texts. The results also reveal the importance of user participatory design.

“…In particular, based on awareness that a large proportion of patients with bipolar disorder are treated exclusively in primary care settings (Kilbourne et al, 2012a), there is growing interest in briefer interventions that aim to improve self-management of mood disorders (e.g., Houle et al, 2013; Jones et al, 2011) and can be delivered both within and outside specialty mental health settings, including in primary care (Kilbourne et al, 2012a,b). Self-management interventions are relatively brief and aid patients in developing a personalized plan to help them to respond to and prevent psychiatric and physical health symptoms so that they may live meaningful lives in the community (Houle et al, 2013; Sterling et al, 2010). …”

People with bipolar disorders report a lower quality of life than the general population, and few mutable factors associated with health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among people with bipolar disorders have been identified. Using a cross-sectional design, these analyses examined whether self-efficacy was associated with mental and physical HRQoL in a sample of 141 patients with bipolar disorder who completed baseline assessments for two randomized controlled trials. Multiple linear regression analyses indicated that higher levels of self-efficacy were associated with higher mental and physical HRQoL, after controlling for demographic factors and clinical factors (including mood symptoms, co-morbid medical conditions, and substance use). Future research should examine whether targeted treatments that aim to improve self-efficacy (such as self-management interventions) lead to improvements in HRQoL among people with bipolar disorder and other serious mental illnesses.

“…The terms self-management and recovery describe complementary, ongoing processes in which a person is the central determinant of his or her health and well-being (53). The intervention aimed to simultaneously diminish symptoms of depression and promote the separate dimension of well-being and life satisfaction.…”
