“…More broadly, it is generally accepted that many physical conditions are associated with serious mental disorders, but the exact nature of these relationships is still unclear and further research beyond the so far dominant cross-sectional designs is called for [38]. Biological variables include physical health [13,39], body mass index (BMI) [40,41], sex [42,43], and age [13,[44][45][46], are important contributors to mental health and can be assessed easily within the framework of a large-scale survey.…”

The present study examines a broad range of longitudinal predictors of dimensional positive mental health (PMH) and negative mental health (NMH), using data from the BOOM study. Participants were drawn from university student samples in Germany (1,608), Russia (677) and China (12,057). A structural equation model was conducted with four groups of predictors and PMH/NMH as criteria (outcomes). Five of the six salutogenic predictors were predictive of both positive mental health (positively) and negative mental health, as measured by depression (negatively). Pathogenic predictors anxiety and depression were related to future depression, but not to positive mental health. Stress at baseline was related to both future positive mental health (negatively) and future depression (positively). Being male in this study was associated with increased future depression. Results hold across Germany, Russia, and China. Results support the conceptualization of positive and negative mental health as related, but independent dimensions across three cultures.

“…The incidence of mental disorders is approximately 10% higher among those with a diagnosed chronic health condition compared to those without (Mitchell, 2012), with these differences being more marked among females compared to males. One recent 12-month prevalence study found that chronic disease patients were more than twice as likely, when adjusting for sex and age, to have a mental disorder compared to healthy controls (odds ratio: 2.2) (Härter et al, 2007).…”

“…Even among those without a diagnosable mental disorder, it has been estimated that up to 60% of physical health conditions have a psychological component to their presentation (Milgrom & Burrows, 2001). Psychiatric co-morbidity can result in increased symptom severity, length of hospital stay, health service utilisation, number of hospital visits, reduced treatment adherence, and delayed return to the workforce (Milgrom & Burrows, 2001;Mitchell, 2012). People with chronic health problems are generally more likely to be unemployed, employed part time, and to have significantly reduced ability to function in their day to day activities than those without chronic illness; this is amplified among those with comorbid mental health difficulties (Mitchell, 2012).…”

“…Specialized mental health support tailored to the needs of these groups may be difficult to access outside of metropolitan regions. Individuals with a chronic illness show an estimated 10% higher incidence of mental disorders relative to healthy individuals [ 36 ], and the burden of physical symptoms may make the accessibility afforded by e-mental health especially relevant to this group. Similarly, e-mental health may address the barriers of stigma and geographic isolation in young people accessing evidence-based interventions from mental health professionals [ 32 , 35 , 37 ], and may even promote further help-seeking [ 38 , 39 ].…”

BackgroundOnline technologies may reduce barriers to evidence-based mental health care, yet they also create numerous ethical challenges. Recently, numerous professional organizations and expert groups have produced best-practice guidelines to assist mental health professionals in delivering online interventions in an ethically and clinically sound manner. However, there has been little critical examination of these international best-practice guidelines regarding appropriate electronic mental health (e-mental health) service delivery via technologies such as videoconferencing (including Skype), particularly for specific, vulnerable populations. Further, the extent to which concordance exists between these guidelines remains unclear. Synthesizing this literature to provide clear guidance to both mental health professionals and researchers is critical to ensure continued progress in the field of e-mental health.ObjectiveThis study aims to review all currently available ethical and best-practice guidelines relating to videoconferencing-delivered mental health treatments in order to ascertain the recommendations for which international consensus could be found. Additionally, this review examines the extent to which each set of guidance addresses several key special populations, including children and young people, and populations living with illness.MethodsThis systematic review examined guidelines using a two-armed search strategy, examining (1) professional organizations’ published guidance; and (2) MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and EMBASE for the past ten years. In order to determine consensus for best-practice, a recommendation was considered "firm" if 50% or more of the reviewed guidelines endorsed it and "tentative" if recommended by fewer guidelines than these. The professional guidelines were also scored by two raters using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation II (AGREE-II) criteria.ResultsIn the study, 19 guidelines were included, yielding 11 specific "firm" and a further 123 "tentative-level" recommendations regarding the appropriateness of e-mental health, competence, legal and regulatory issues, confidentiality, consent, professional boundaries, and crisis management. International consensus yielded firm guidance across almost all areas except professional boundaries and some aspects of determining the appropriateness of e-mental health. Few guidelines specifically addressed special populations. Overall guideline quality varied; however, 42% (8/19) of the guidelines scored at least 5 out of 7.ConclusionsThis synthesis of guidelines provides a foundation for clinicians and researchers utilizing e-mental health worldwide. The lack of specific guidance relating to special populations is an area warranting further attention in order to strengthen mental health professionals’ and researchers’ capacity to ethically and effectively tailor e-mental health interventions to these groups.
