“…Supporting earlier studies, the present study indicated that Telehealth was the most popular type of mental health care during the pandemic ( 28 ). Hersch et al ( 37 ) suggest this could be due to ease of access offered by telehealth which increases both attendance and participation.…”

“…However, participants in the present study expressed a desire for in-person counseling, or at least some in person counseling, as one participant expressed. “ it was only via tele-health and at the time I wanted My first appointment to be face to face.” This contrasts with some studies where levels of satisfaction with telehealth were comparable to face-to-face counseling ( 27 , 28 ). Telehealth services could also present other disadvantages for those who need it most.…”

ObjectiveThis study sought to understand the mental health issues, mental health support and efficacy of that support among university students.ParticipantsAll students enrolled in a College of Arts and Sciences at one mid-size university received an email that contained a link to an anonymous, online questionnaire developed and disseminated through PsychData. 162 students completed the questionnaire.MethodsMixed methods: Data was summarized using descriptive analysis, testing for significance, testing for differences, and content analysis.ResultsParticipants reported high levels of anxiety (76%) and depression (65%). Results indicated that participant demographics were associated with types of mental access, and support. Unexpected results included lack of knowledge or information on cost, and how to access mental health services hindered access for participants, and although telehealth was the most widely used support, in contrast to other studies, participants indicated a preference for face-to-face mental health services.ConclusionResults highlight the need for improving communication about and access to mental health services in higher education Recommendations and implications for policy and support services are provided.

“…Patient use was examined in 10 studies [ 41 , 43 , 44 , 50 , 53 , 54 , 56 , 57 , 59 , 60 ], patient satisfaction in 7 studies [ 45 , 46 , 48 , 49 , 51 , 52 , 55 ], and both outcomes were observed in 3 studies [ 42 , 47 , 58 ]. Patient use was mostly defined as having at least 1 telemental health visit during the pandemic [ 43 , 44 , 53 , 54 , 56 , 58 - 60 ].…”

Background Several recent studies examined patient use and satisfaction with synchronous telemental health services in response to the widespread implementation during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, a systematic review of recent literature on the determinants of these outcomes is missing. Objective The aim of this systematic review was to give an extensive overview of the literature on and highlight the influential determinants of patient use and satisfaction with synchronous telemental health services during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods This review satisfied the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO. Peer-reviewed, quantitative studies that observed the determinants of patient use or satisfaction with synchronous telemental health services during the COVID-19 pandemic were included. PubMed, PsycInfo, and Web of Science database searches were conducted in August 2022 for English and German language studies published from 2020 onward. Key steps were performed by 2 reviewers. Determinants were synthesized into major categories informed by the dimensions of the widely used and established Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology. Results Of the 20 included studies, 10 studies examined determinants of patient use, 7 examined determinants of patient satisfaction, and 3 observed both outcomes. The quality of the studies was mainly good or fair. There was substantial heterogeneity in the study designs, methods, and findings. Sociodemographic characteristics and health-related determinants were mostly considered. Some of the major dimensions of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology were neglected in recent studies. Although most findings were mixed or nonsignificant, some indications for potential relationships were found (eg, for sex, age, and symptom severity). Conclusions The findings revealed potential target groups (eg, female and young patients with mild symptoms) for future postpandemic telemental health interventions. However, they also identified patient groups that were harder to reach (eg, older patients with severe symptoms); efforts may be beneficial to address such groups. Future quantitative and qualitative research is needed to secure and expand on recent findings, which could help improve services.

“…During the pandemic, the provider workforce experienced significant challenges, and capacity for mental health treatment rapidly shifted to telehealth (Aymerich et al, 2022;Stefanatou et al, 2022). Telehealth facilitated care during this period without clear negative effects (Ainslie et al, 2022;Galvin et al, 2022), and telehealth mental health care was perceived more positively than in-person care by some, including college students (Cohen et al, 2023;Michaels et al, 2022). Acceptance of telehealth delivery of care appears to be persisting.…”

Recent surveys show rising numbers of young people who report anxiety and depression. Although much attention has focused on mental health of adolescent youth, less attention has been paid to young people as they transition into adulthood. Multiple factors may have contributed to this steady increase: greater exposure to social media, information, and distressing news via personal electronic devices; increased concerns regarding social determinants of health and climate change; and changing social norms due to increased mental health literacy and reduced stigma. The COVID-19 pandemic may have temporarily exacerbated symptoms and impacted treatment availability. Strategies to mitigate causal factors for depression and anxiety in young adults may include education and skills training for cognitive, behavioral, and social coping strategies, as well as healthier use of technology and social media. Policies must support the availability of health insurance and treatment, and clinicians can adapt interventions to encompass the specific concerns and needs of young adults.
