“…A third of the articles were classified as having average / good quality of reporting while only 5.9% were considered excellent. This was consistent with previous research articles that highlighted the poor quality of information in the print media about health-related matters [46,47]. It has been reported that high quality newspaper articles often flow from a press release, generally from a scientific journal [21].…”

Background: Newspapers are considered as one of the most viewed and influential media sources in both UK and USA. Information about how newspapers portray healthcare apps to the readers has been lacking. Objectives:The present study investigated the reporting on healthcare apps in newspapers published in the UK and USA. Methods:The Nexus® UK database was utilised to identify and select relevant articles. Systematic content analysis of the articles that met the inclusion criteria (articles of any format that contained reference to healthcare apps or medical apps) within the highest circulated newspapers in the UK and USA over a period of 10 years (2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015) was conducted. Inter-rater reliability of coding was established using a 10% sample of the chosen articles.Results: 151 UK and 69 USA relevant newspaper articles were retrieved. Healthcare apps were most frequently reported on in the Daily Mail and The Guardian (UK newspapers) and in the New York Times and the Washington Post (US newspapers). An exponential rise in published scientific articles (PubMed®) on healthcare related apps was noted during the study period. A total of 26.4 and 19.1% of the retrieved newspaper articles appeared in the features and main news sections respectively. General information about healthcare applications was the main theme coved by the newspapers (45.9%). Most of the articles represented a societal point of view (72.3%). The main focus of the articles was on general health matters (48%) and specific disease matters (37%). Diabetes was the most frequently mentioned disease in the articles. A high proportion (91.8%) of the articles mentioned benefits of using healthcare apps mainly for personalised care, while 24.0% of the articles commented on related risks such as anxiety and confidentiality issues. Almost half (45.9%) of the articles mentioned potential facilitators to the use of apps while less than 10% discussed barriers. Most of the articles (83.6%) were judged as having balanced judgement on the present topic while more than half (60.0%) of the articles were judged to be of generally low quality. Conclusions:Healthcare apps were not widely reported in newspaper articles in the UK and the USA over the study period, however, there appeared to be much more recent interest. Characteristically the articles focused on societal impact and on general health rather than on disease specific applications.Keywords: apps, Newspaper articles, Newspapers, health 2 IntroductionHealthcare applications (apps) are defined by the FDA as "software programs that run on smartphones and other mobile communication devices in order to, for example, provide health information to the public, provide other health related support to patients and healthcare professionals and remotely transfer data to health care providers". These apps can also be used to facilitate decision making and provide the opportunity for consultations to take place remotely [1].Smartphone apps are becoming increasingly popular glo...

“…For these reasons, there have been recent calls for a shift in research focus from program development towards program implementation and evaluation to support evidence‐based scale‐up of e‐mental health programs in healthcare settings (Batterham et al, ; Ossebaard & Van Gemert‐Pijnen, ). Implementation science seeks to address the gap of how to put a new intervention into practice and is defined as “the scientific study of methods to promote the systematic uptake of research findings and other evidence‐based practices … to improve the quality and effectiveness of health services and care” (Eccles et al, , p. 2).…”

“…Implementation science seeks to address the gap of how to put a new intervention into practice and is defined as “the scientific study of methods to promote the systematic uptake of research findings and other evidence‐based practices … to improve the quality and effectiveness of health services and care” (Eccles et al, , p. 2). Implementation science is an emerging field of research and is beginning to deliver the approaches needed to address the research‐to‐practice gap (Ossebaard & Van Gemert‐Pijnen, ). Numerous theoretical models and frameworks are now available to guide implementation research, such as the consolidated framework for implementation research (CFIR; Damschroder et al, ), Proctor's framework of implementation outcomes (Proctor et al, ), the promoting action on research implementation (PARIHS) framework (Rycroft‐Malone, ) and the reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance (RE‐AIM) framework (Glasgow, Vogt, & Boles, ), to name a few.…”

The aim of this review was to scope the growth and development of implementation research of e‐mental healthcare programs for anxiety and depression, the research and evaluation tools used, and the specific implementation processes and outcomes examined. A search of four electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and CINAHL) was conducted from January 2000 to January 2019. Of 33 studies identified, most (n = 28) were published in the last five years. Only 10 used an implementation framework to guide implementation or evaluation. Most studies reported on acceptability (n = 28), appropriateness (n = 23), and feasibility (n = 17). Less commonly reported implementation outcomes were fidelity (n = 10) and adoption (n = 7); with penetration (n = 4), sustainability (n = 3), and implementation cost (n = 2) being studied rarely. Of the 21 studies that used surveys to study implementation outcomes, less than half used a previously published survey (n = 9). More rigorous implementation studies, underpinned by strong theory and real‐world understanding, are urgently needed.

What should we do now to prepare health professionals for future health care demand challenges in order to ensure accessible, affordable, high-quality health care and social support? This question of worldwide interest is thoroughly addressed in two recent research-based advisory reports for the Dutch Health Ministry. The process and outcomes of these studies are briefly described in the present article. Demography, digital technologies and a new concept of health urge a radical shift in perception, learning and action in health care education, a call well-received throughout the country.
