“…Second, participating therapists (IF and VS) lacked prior experience with the blended format, but underwent preparatory training. Careful preparation and implementation as well as regular supervision seem to be critical success factors for blended interventions [72], and as some studies on online interventions show, more experience with a …”

Objective: This study investigated the feasibility of a novel blended (face-to-face and computer-based) group intervention for the reduction of depressive symptoms in major depression.Design: Patient-centred uncontrolled interventional study.Setting: University setting in a general community sample. A multi-modal recruitment strategy (public health centres and public areas) was applied.Participants: Based on independent interviews, 26 participants, diagnosed with major depressive disorder (81 % female; 23 % comorbidity > 1, 23 % comorbidity > 2), entered treatment.Intervention: Acceptance and mindfulness-based, as well as self-management and resource-oriented psychotherapy principles served as the theoretical basis for the low-threshold intervention. The blended format included face-to-face sessions, complemented with multimedia presentations and a platform featuring videos, online work sheets, an unguided group-chat, as well as remote therapistpatient communication. Conclusion: The investigated blended group format seems feasible for the reduction of depressive symptoms in major depression. The development of blended interventions can benefit from assuring that highl st u tu ed t eat e ts a tuall eet patie ts' needs. As a next step, the intervention should be tested in comparative trials in routine care.Trial registration: DRKS-ID: DRKS00010894

“…Such endorsement would be consistent with guidelines developed by professional associations (Fuller et al, 2012) and National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines for the treatment of depression, which recommend computer-based CBT in treatment of subclinical, mild and moderate depression (National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health, 2010). However, there is also research supporting the use of e-mental health programmes in individuals with severe depression (Andrews and Williams, 2014) and evidence suggesting that blended therapy is not necessary for e-mental health programmes to be effective (Kenter et al, 2015).…”

Objective: e-Mental health services have been shown to be effective and cost-effective for the treatment of depression. However, to have optimal impact in reducing the burden of depression, strategies for wider reach and uptake are needed. Method:A review was conducted to assess the evidence supporting use of e-mental health programmes for treating depression. From the review, models of dissemination and gaps in translation were identified, with a specific focus on characterising barriers and facilitators to uptake within the Australian healthcare context. Finally, recommendations for promoting the translation of e-mental health services in Australia were developed.Results: There are a number of effective and cost-effective e-health applications available for treating depression in community and clinical settings. Four primary models of dissemination were identified: unguided, health service-supported, private ownership and clinically guided. Barriers to translation include clinician reluctance, consumer awareness, structural barriers such as funding and gaps in the translational evidence base. Conclusion:Key strategies for increasing use of e-mental health programmes include endorsement of e-mental health services by government entities, education for clinicians and consumers, adequate funding of e-mental health services, development of an accreditation system, development of translation-focused activities and support for further translational research. The impact of these implementation strategies is likely to include economic gains, reductions in disease burden and greater availability of more interventions for prevention and treatment of mental ill-health complementary to existing health and efficient evidence-based mental health services.

“…As another important feasibility criterion, the amount of additional workload due to online guidance is from particular relevance [85]. Beyond doubt, the time required by therapists depends on the implemented tasks of a given intervention.…”
