“…The mental health indicators in Chile prior to the outbreak indicated high levels of alcohol and substance abuse (González Suitt, Geraldo, Estay, & Franklin, 2019) as well as a high index of depressive disorders among adolescents and adults (Basso Musso, Mann, Strike, Brands, & Khenti, 2012; Toledo, Pizarro, & Castillo-Carniglia, 2015). In addition, Chileans’ mental health has been affected by aggravated socioeconomic and environmental conditions, such as natural disasters, significant social and economic inequalities, lack of trust in government institutions, and disparity in the access to health care and education (Rotarou & Sakellariou, 2017).…”

With one of the highest testing rates of COVID-19 in Latin America, Chile continues to record low mortality rates from the disease. Several measures such as curfews, cancellation of large gatherings, and closure of schools and businesses have been implemented. Against the backdrop of high levels of alcohol/substance abuse, mental health disorders, and inequalities across Chile, it is likely that levels of stress and anxiety will peak during the COVID-19 pandemic. As key public health responses such as testing, contact tracing, isolation and management of confirmed cases of COVID-19 are being ramped up, it is expedient to prioritize measures to safeguard the mental health of Chileans.

“…A recent cross-sectional study conducted in the United Kingdom found similar results, showing that greater financial hardship experienced during the pandemic was related to poorer mental health in adults ( Smith et al, 2020 ). This is particularly relevant for our national context in which studies prior to the COVID-19 pandemic showed a high frequency of depressive disorders ( Toledo et al, 2015 ) and substance abuse ( González Suitt et al, 2019 ), which were aggravated by socioeconomic inequalities ( Rotarou and Sakellariou, 2017 ).…”

The pandemic outbreak in March 2020 and its associated sanitary regulations and restrictions triggered an abrupt and significant change for society in general and for families’ organization in particular. In Chile, the Santiago Metropolitan District was under a strict lockdown that involved the closure of the entire educational system. From a systemic-family stress perspective, the impact of these changes might have consequences not only for each individual family member, but for the parental dynamic and, consequently, for children’s well-being. This paper presents the results of a follow-up study showing changes in self-reported parental depression and the perceived home organization of mothers and fathers assessed at three different moments: before the pandemic, at the initial outbreak, and after 1 month of strict lockdown. Relevant moderators were explored using linear mixed models to understand the within-subject changes in mothers’ and fathers’ self-reports across the different assessment times. Financial strain, personality traits of self-criticism and dependency, previous parent–child quality interaction, recent major stressful events, and number of children are highlighted as relevant factors that moderate changes in home chaos and parental mental health perception. Significant risks and protective factors are described for fathers and mothers. The use of pre-pandemic measures as baseline levels enabled the identification of personal and family characteristics that were related to better outcomes. The results help increase our understanding of the sanitary regulations’ impacts on the family system and identify vulnerability indicators that should be considered.

“…Existing research on delity monitoring of SFBT interventions largely utilize the SFBT delity checklist, which relies on interventionist self-assessment 17 . The self-assessment scale has been utilized in research using SFBT among diverse populations including individuals with substance and alcohol use disorders [23][24][25] , children with Cerebral Palsy 26 , patients with HIV 27 , and children within the welfare system 28,29 , and how been found to be useful for acquiring a subjective interpretation of how intervention delity from the perspective of the interventionist. Though bene cial, utilizing clinician selfreport is limited as it relies on the subjective appraisal of the clinician to rate their adherence to the intervention.…”

Background: Integrated Care (IC) models that include behavioral health providers to enhance patient care have increased, but the current mechanisms to analyze the efficacy and fidelity of behavioral interventions within IC models are limited. Method:A mixed methods concurrent process evaluation was utilized within the context of a randomized clinical trial to assess intervention fidelity for a Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) intervention implemented within an IC model. Data was collected through 1) participant surveys, 2) self-report surveys with the interventionist, and 3) data from patient charts. Descriptive statistics in addition to repeated measures ANOVA were utilized to acquire quantitative data. Qualitative data was acquired through content analyses and data triangulation was used to present findings. Results: The average SFBT intervention was 24.6 minutes with a range of 15-30 minutes. Of the 34 participants in the intervention group, 33 completed all 3 SFBT sessions. The majority of visits were weekly follow-ups (53.9%), followed by biweekly follow-ups (28.2%), and the remaining 3-week follow-ups (5.1%). The interventionist utilized session templates, and a self-report checklist to monitor intervention integrity. A SFBT scale was utilized to analyze the uptake of SFBT skills and there was a significant difference between those in the SFBT group and the treatment-as-usual group (F [1, 64] = 22.7, p<.001): mean difference, 15.1 [95% CI, 11.2- 18.9]. Conclusion: Our study examined fidelity efficiently and comprehensively and provides a foundation for studies interested in fidelity monitoring of SFBT interventions as well as behavioral interventions within IC models. Trial Registration: The study was pre-registered at ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05838222 on 01/05/2023.
