“…our Balint sessions were held online once weekly as opposed to Yang et al who held twice-weekly sessions. Although our group was held longer (12 sessions), twice-weekly sessions for both individual and group work, even in short term, have been found to be more effective in reducing psychological symptoms and improving functions(19)(20)(21)(22).In our study, most nurses had moderate Perceived Stress both at the beginning and after the intervention. The Depersonalization subscale had the smallest frequency of high scores.…”

Background: Nurses have stressful jobs. Considering the frequency of burnout and its consequences in nurses and subsequently the direct impact it has on patients' health, devising interventions is necessary to prevent or reduce burnout. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Balint groups on burnout, perceived stress, and caring behaviors in nurses at the COVID-19 ward, Amir-Alam Hospital. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with pre-test, post-test and a control group. 20 nurses were selected at the COVID-19 ward, Amir-Alam hospital, using a random sampling method. Twelve online Balint sessions were held. Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), Caring Behaviors Inventory (CBI), and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) were used at the beginning and the end of the intervention to collect data. Results: Results showed no significance difference between the experimental and control groups in pre-test and post-test in terms of sum of dependent variables, including Perceived Stress, frequency and intensity of Emotional Exhaustion, Personal Accomplishment, Depersonalization, and Occupation, Respectful Deference to Others, Human Presence, Positive Connectedness, Knowledge and Skills, and Experiences of Others. Balint group with a limited number of once-weekly sessions (12 online sessions) had no significant effect on burnout, perceived stress, and caring behaviors in nurses at Amir-Alam Hospital. More sessions of Balint group-work in online situation is recommended as opposed to face-to-face Balint sessions.

“…Psychologists and implementation scientists must continue to innovate to ensure that we can meet the needs of all individuals who require mental health care and to find ways to take services to scale. Promising research by colleagues on DMHI (Weisel et al, 2019) and single-session interventions (Schleider, Dobias, Mullarkey, & Ollendick, 2020; Schleider, Dobias, Sung, et al, 2020) suggest the potential of a stepped approach globally. Seeing how implementation principles have been used to address the stark need for change in hospital practices (Taylor et al, 2020) and delivery of care via telepsychiatry over the past year (Beidas & Stirman, 2020; Connolly et al, 2020) is cause for hope that the field will continue to innovate in a post COVID-19 world.…”

Implementation science is the study of methods to promote the systematic uptake of effective practices into routine care settings with the broad goal of ensuring that scientific discoveries realize their potential and improve people's lives. As a field, implementation science includes three primary foci: (a) understanding the context in which individuals will implement practices that have a strong, established evidence base (b) developing implementation approaches that target the factors that may accelerate or hinder implementation, and (c) conducting pragmatic trials to test these implementation approaches. Psychological science has contributed substantially to the knowledge and methods used in implementation science. In medicine and public health, these contributions have been leveraged to facilitate the uptake of screening and prevention programs, hand hygiene to reduce infection transmission, and many medical innovations. In behavioral health settings, implementation science has often focused on specific forms of psychotherapy, with emphasis on the evidence-based psychological practices that are highlighted in treatment guidelines. This article provides an overview of the field with an emphasis on the bidirectional relationship between implementation science and psychological science illustrated through the articles accepted for this Special Issue of the American Psychologist. It concludes with recommendations for future research at the intersection of implementation science and psychological science. Background: Opportunities for Bidirectional Learning at the Intersection of Implementation Science and Psychological ScienceReducing the gap between science and practice is the great challenge of our time. Decades of psychological science has yielded discoveries that support psychological health and well-being. Yet this knowledge is not typically effectively disseminated to the public or implemented in applied settings, thus not achieving its promise to meet population health needs. Difficulties in reducing the science to practice gap have been driven by an incomplete understanding of the realities of specific practice settings, suggesting that bidirectional learning and contributions from multiple stakeholders are

“…Clinical science thus badly needs shoring up of its basic scientific foundation-a problem for which computational psychiatry seems well-suited to help (Berwian et al, 2023). Second, clinical science appears to be entering a golden age of treatment dissemination, with novel intervention formats (e.g., self-guided single-session) poised to vastly increase the scale of psychological treatment (Schleider et al, 2021). In contrast, it is increasingly recognized that treatment selection (e.g., DeRubeis et al, 2014) and the identification of specific treatment ingredients (e.g., Southward et al, 2023) are both extremely challenging.…”

Of Strong Swords and Fine Scalpels: Developing Robust Clinical Principles to Cut Through Heterogeneity

General scientific summary: The field of computational psychiatry has overwhelmingly focused on the goal of precision medicine (a “fine scalpels” approach). I argue for reallocating some effort toward deriving potent clinical principles to improve psychological treatments (a “strong swords” approach)—a worthwhile goal in its own right with an established track record. I draw on an example from my research program to illustrate the strong-swords approach.
