“…This might be due to the fact that they belong to the younger generation and have a more positive attitude towards new technologies in general. This is in line with data reported by Gagnon et al (2016) and Graves et al (2017), who have found that those with less experience in mHealth show less interest or willingness to use new mobile technologies. Therefore, we support the idea that younger HPs will be more used to mobile technologies and thus will show greater interest in using these tools in general (Kuhn et al, 2014) and Medtep DBT in particular.…”

“…In recent studies it has been observed that there is a high degree of interest among psychiatric patients in using mHealth to monitor their health Torous, Friedman & Keshavan, 2014). Likewise, several HPs have started implementing different mHealth tools in their work practices (Braun, Catalani, Wimbush & Israelski, 2013), and there is already some knowledge about the facilitators and barriers that condition the use of mHealth by these professionals (Gagnon, Ngangue, Payne-Gagnon & Desmartis, 2016) and their patients (Graves, Doucet, Dubé & Johnson, 2017). Particularly in the mental health field, many innovations and mHealth tools have emerged, including some for severe mental health disorders (Naslund, Marsch, McHugo & Bartels, 2015) and others for behavior interventions (Luxton, McCann, Bush, Mishkind & Reger, 2011), with Medtep DBT being one of the latter category.…”

Summary. The purpose of this project was to study negative attitudes exhibited by mental health professionals toward patients with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) as a function of their work area (general health vs. mental health), profession, the quantity of patients with BPD they have treated over the past year, their number of years of experience in mental health, and their gender. The study used a sample of 310 professionals. We also explored how the professionals’ interest in using an innovative technological application (Medtep DBT) interacted with some of these variables, as well as the potential of the application to help change negative attitudes. Significant differences in attitude were found based on work area, profession, quantity of patients with BPD treated over the past and gender. Furthermore, profession, number of patients and years of experience in mental health determined significant differences in the professionals’ degree of interest in using Medtep DBT. Moreover, those with higher negative attitudes showed less interest in the application and a lesser willingness to try it. These results highlight the need to keep investigating how to improve the attitudes of healthcare professionals, especially nursing staff and family doctors, since they appear to be more susceptible to the development of negative attitudes. As a conclusion, we infer that the lack of empathy towards patients with BPD, the difficulties in their treatment and the years of experience in mental health all act as barriers to the implementation of the application. Resum. L’objectiu d’aquest estudi ha estat investigar les actituds negatives de professionals de la salut mental envers pacients amb Trastorn Límit de la Personalitat (TLP) en funció de la seva àrea de treball, la seva professió, pacients amb TLP tractats al darrer any, anys d’experiència en salut mental i sexe en una mostra de 310 professionals. A més a més s’han explorat, en base a part d’aquestes mateixes variables, el seu interès a usar una aplicació tecnològica innovadora (Medtep DBT) per al tractament d’aquests pacients així com la possibilitat que aquesta servís per a reduir les possibles actituds negatives. S’han trobat diferències significatives en les actituds en funció de l’àrea de treball, la professió, el nombre de pacients amb TLP tractats el darrer any i el sexe. La professió, el nombre de pacients i els anys d’experiència en salut mental també han determinat diferències significatives quant a l’interès a usar Medtep DBT. Aquells professionals amb majors actituds negatives han mostrat un menor interès i una menor disposició a utilitzar l’aplicació. Aquests resultats demostren la necessitat de seguir investigant com millorar les actituds d’aquests professionals, especialment dels d’infermeria i dels metges de capçalera, en ser els més vulnerables a desenvolupar-les. Com a conclusió es poden assenyalar la falta d’empatia envers pacients amb TLP, les dificultats en el seu tractament i els anys d’experiència en salut mental com a barreres en la implementació de l’aplicació.

“…Similarly, companies operating in the health world follow a systemic approach [17,18] involving doctors and patients and adopt new, highly customized technology in order to more actively engage their stakeholders and explore how to co-create value for all online actors. The recent adoption of online communities [13,19] fosters the exchange of information between both health professionals and patients [2]; therefore, increasing co-created value [20] through stakeholder engagement.…”

Engagement in Healthcare Systems: Adopting Digital Tools for a Sustainable Approach

The rapid development of new technologies has created interesting and unexpected possibilities in e-health, and digital platforms have become widespread, connecting users, experts, and practitioners of the health world. This triggered our investigation into the relationship between the engagement platforms used by 293 doctors with various specializations, their satisfaction, and the dimensions of social sustainability in the healthcare sector. The research focused on professional interaction and its sphere of action in engagement platforms, defined as virtual contact points for exchanging information, thus increasing the co-creation of value between physicians and patients. In order to verify our hypothesis, a health digital platform called paginemediche.it was used, and the two dimensions of engagement and sustainability were considered, examining their causal relationship and evaluating their effects on physician loyalty in terms of the re-use of the digital platform by doctors. Our results, using a multiple linear regression analysis, showed that the social sustainability of the digital health platform was directly influenced by online engagement, generating a positive effect on physician loyalty. In particular, the human dimension of social sustainability proved to be decisive for the re-use of the platform.

“…Thus, there is a need for the development of other treatment strategies. Face-to-face interventions may be one option in these situations since some persons are used to and therefore prefer such interventions [182]. Nevertheless, ICBT may still be an important tool in the treatment of depressive symptoms in persons with heart failure.…”
