Background and Objectives:Due to the high costs of conventional mental health care, there has been a rise in the application of web-based technologies in recent years, i.e., telemental health care. We conducted this systematic review in 2017, using high quality research articles on the applications, technologies, advantages and challenges associated with telemental health care published since year 2000.Methods:We used a combination of relevant key words to search four major databases, such as “Web of Sciences, Embase, PubMed and Science Direct”. From among 156 articles, which had been published since 2000, twenty five articles met all of the inclusion criteria and were selected for the final review. The information extracted from these articles were used to construct Tables 1 and 2. Also, the materials derived from 55 credible articles were used as further support and complementary facts to substantiate the information presented in the Discussion section.Results:The findings revealed that telemental health care is an extended domain supportive of conventional mental health services. Currently, telemental health care has multiple capabilities and technologies for providing effective interventions to patients with various mental illnesses. It provides clinicians with a wide variety of innovative choices and strategies for mental interventions, in addition to significant future potentials.Conclusions:Telemental health care can provide effective and adaptable solutions to the care of mental illnesses universally. While being comparable to in-person services, telemental health care is particularly advantageous and inexpensive through the use of current technologies and adaptable designs, especially in isolated communities.

“…College students, at least, were eager consumers of mental health, asynchronous support, with clear acknowledgment of higher quality information offered in controlled sites compared with the generic results of unbridled internet searches; indeed, the searchability of anonymous questions and posted results was quite compelling. Nevertheless, internet ethical concerns remain consequential (Efstathiou & Kalantzi-Azizi, 2008;Stjernswärd, 2011;McKay & Martin, 2012). A variety of models for enhancing academic-based mental health support for students has been proposed, though not tested (McKay & Martin, 2012).…”

“…Nevertheless, in that study, a series of specific recommendations to improve computer communication with individuals with ID included individuated tailoring of the computer and software to each user, repeated Information Technology support for the individual, virus-free hardware access, and simplification of access to key information with significantly minimized key strokes or mouse clicks (Huang et al, 2007). Some of the social dynamic challenges are borne out in the American context as well (McKay & Martin, 2012).…”

“…In healthcare quality evaluations, targeted feedback from and analysis of systems involving individuals with PD suggest several common points. Concern for stigmatization is seminal amongst individuals with PD interacting with larger social structures (Spaniol, 2001;Happell, 2008;Drake & Latimer, 2012;McKay & Martin, 2012). This theme appears in the higher education literature as well (Martin & Oswin, 2010).…”

Communication with Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities and Psychiatric Disabilities: A Summary of the Literature

2012

Governmental agencies serve individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (ID) and Psychiatric Disabilities (PD) and must consequently communicate with these individuals at multiple points, from interviews with claims representatives to written notices sent to applicants and beneficiaries about highly complex material. We review the social scientific, survey research-based, cognitive testing-based and other relevant literatures regarding effective communication with these individuals. Given the nature of governmental contact with individuals with ID and PD, particular interest falls upon formal written communication, but other modes of communicating factual information (e.g., telephone, in-person) are also within the scope of this literature review. We evaluate what is known regarding the receptive and expressive communicative capacities of these individuals. We attempt to evaluate what is known about the communicative strategies to determine how the literature may inform a set of evidence-based best practices regarding for effective and efficient communication with individuals with ID and PD.

This report describes the instructional design and development process, learner feedback, and factors associated with course completion in the Academy of Peer Services (APS), an online educational platform for partial fulfillment of peer specialist state certification. Method: From January 2014 to August 2017, 4,064 individuals in the APS completed online courses and provided demographic information and course evaluation feedback. This report analyzed the relationship between demographic data (work role, experience with online training, level of education) and posttest performance. Course evaluation data on quality, perceived difficulty, and learner satisfaction were also analyzed. Results: Overall, participants passed posttests 70.6% of the time. The effect size of work role was very small, 2 ϭ .006. Level of education attainment was associated with differences on posttest scores, F(5, 3903) ϭ 20.22, p Ͻ .001, but the effect size was, again, very modest, 2 ϭ .025. Previous experience with online learning slightly influenced posttest scores, F(2, 4053) ϭ 3.95, p Ͻ .02, 2 ϭ .002. The great majority of students (88.2%) agreed or strongly agreed that the content was relevant to their everyday work. Similarly, 89% agreed or strongly agreed that the content contained practical tools, which they intend to use in their work. Conclusions and Implications for Practice: The feedback collected from more than 4000 learners suggests that the application of instructional design principles and techniques succeeded in translating the practical knowledge of peer-provided services to an easily accessible web-based platform for persons of varying education and life experiences. Impact and ImplicationsThis study examined the factors associated with successful course completion for learners enrolled in one state's initiative to implement a fully online educational platform to prepare peer specialists for certification. Based on learner feedback and posttest scores, online training and testing demonstrates one efficient way to meet the demand for qualified and certified peer specialists.
