“…Additionally, most of the existing studies included interactive psychoeducational-CBT contents, self-monitoring of different parameters and the feedback mechanisms, as well as the support given either by the mental health caregivers or by patients' peers. The support provided from patients' peers or coaches in the discussed intervention programs mostly resulted in higher rates of acceptance, engagement and retention (Nicholas et al, 2010;Todd et al, 2013Todd et al, , 2014. This is consistent with the current evidence related to the standalone online support forums and discussion groups for a wide range of mental disorders including bipolar disorder (Bauer et al, 2013;Campos et al, 2014;Highton-Williamson et al, 2014;Schielein et al, 2008).…”

“…Furthermore, the program incorporated limited human support consisting of email reminders encouraging the use of the program alongside with a support asynchronous forum with peers moderated by a professional who answered questions about the program in case of risk situations. This peer support feature was considered an essential component of the program during the development process in which patients had an important participation (Todd et al, 2013). The results of a RCT evaluating mainly feasibility and quality of life improvement, demonstrated high levels of retention in the active intervention group as well as in the control group that the authors attributed in part to the existence of the common components such as e-mail and community support.…”

“…52,53 The fact that both BD type I and BD type II differed from control participants on the buck-passing scale is also an important finding. Conflict theory defines buck-passing as an avoidant DM strategy, in which the decision-maker shifts responsibility to someone else in order to escape or avoid the stress associated with DM.…”

Trends in Psychiatry and Psychotherapy Original ArticleResumo Introdução: A tomada de decisão (TD) é uma das habilidades mais relevantes para a funcionalidade. No entanto, esta habilidade é geralmente avaliada por meio de tarefas comportamentais, cuja validade ecológica tem sido questionada. De acordo com a literatura, a avaliação da TD deve ser complementada por questionários ou escalas, instrumentos estes que não estão disponíveis no português brasileiro. Desta forma, o objetivo deste estudo foi a tradução e validação de uma versão do Melbourne Decision Making Questionnaire (MDMQ), o instrumento mais amplamente utilizado na avaliação da TD, para uso em português. Métodos: A adaptação da MDMQ foi realizada através da tradução, retrotradução, avaliação por painel de juízes e estudo piloto. A versão da escala produzida neste processo foi submetida a análise fatorial e avaliação de consistência interna, levando a exclusão de 4 itens da escala original. A versão resultante da MDMQ, contando com 18 itens no total, foi então utilizada em estudo de validação, em que a TD foi comparada entre adultos saudáveis e portadores de depressão e transtorno bipolar. Resultados:O instrumento demonstrou consistência interna satisfatória, apesar da obtenção de alfas de Cronbach relativamente baixos para a subescala de hipervigilância. A estrutura fatorial do questionário traduzido foi semelhante a observada no instrumento original. Todas as medidas derivadas da MDMQ, mostraram-se discriminativas na comparação entre adultos saudáveis e portadores de transtornos mentais. Conclusão: A versão da MDMQ produzida neste estudo poderá realizar uma importante contribuição para a prática clínica e pesquisa neuropsicológica acerca da TD.

However, the most widely used measures of DM come from behavioral paradigms, whose ecological validity and standalone use has been criticized in the literature. Though these issues could be addressed by the use of DM questionnaires as a complementary assessment method, no such instruments have been validated for use in Brazilian Portuguese. Therefore, the aim of this study was to conduct the translation and validation of the Melbourne Decision Making Questionnaire (MDMQ) for use in a Brazilian population. Methods: The adaptation of the MDMQ involved the following steps: translation, back-translation, expert review and pilot study. These steps were followed by factor analysis and internal consistency measurements, which led to the exclusion of 4 items from the scale. The 18-item version of the MDMQ was then administered to a validation sample consisting of healthy adults, as well as patients with bipolar disorder (BD) and major depressive disorder (MDD). Results: The instrument displayed good internal consistency, with the hypervigilance subscale showing the lowest, though still acceptable, Cronbach's alpha value. It...

“…One of the main reasons we speculate could have helped to accomplish these objectives was the approach initially adopted which involved the patients throughout the development process. This approach have been reported to increase the percentage and satisfaction of bipolar patients using online psychological interventions [20,21]. Additional studies will evaluate the real clinical outcome impact using the smartphone application (i.e.…”

INTRODUCTION:The SIMPLe project was designed with the objective of developing a smartphone application, which could monitor and psychoeducate bipolar disorder patients through highly personalized messages based on both passive and active information. A secondary long-term objective of the SIMPLe project is to integrate biomedical information with the mobile behavior information collected in order to determine predictive relapses patterns. METHODS: The phases of the SIMPLe project involved an iterative process with the active participation of both patients and mental health professionals. The feasibility study phase of the project analyzed variables from the recruitment phase and server requests from the users' application. RESULTS: The participation in the feasibility study was offered to 70 stable bipolar patients.43 subjects were enrolled in the study. The main reasons for those who did not take part of the study was not having a compatible device(59%). 95% of the initial participants remain actively using the application during the 3 months considered during which no relapses were identified. CONCLUSIONS: The results so far suggest a high acceptance from the patients enrolled in the study. However, due to the fragmentation of the smartphone market, there is a risk that this sample would not represents the whole population of bipolar patients. DISCUSSION: Mobile technologies seems a feasible option, which could bring a novel type of data to the mental health field. Even though, there are still challenges ahead in order to harness its full potential.
