“…We also suggest identifying more therapists per site to account for attrition and increasing frequency of communication with clinical leaders. Identifying and using TMH champions, as recommended by Gagnon et al, 9 could also facilitate adoption.…”

Background: The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has pioneered telemental health (TMH) with over 500,000 TMH encounters over the past decade. VA community-based outpatient clinics were established to improve accessibility of mental healthcare for rural Veterans. Despite these clinics clinics and increased availability of TMH, many rural Veterans have difficulty receiving mental healthcare, particularly psychotherapy. Materials and Methods: Twelve therapists participated in a pilot project using TMH technologies to improve mental healthcare service delivery to rural Veterans treated at six community clinics. Therapists completed online training, and study staff communicated with them monthly and clinical leaders every other month. Therapists completed two questionnaires: before training and 10 months later. This article describes barriers and facilitators to the implementation of the project, as well as therapists' knowledge, confidence, and motivation regarding TMH. Results: Two clinicians were offering telepsychotherapy after 10 months. At all six sites, unanticipated organizational constraints and administrative barriers delayed implementation; establishing organizational practices and therapists' motivation helped facilitate the process. Adopters of the project reported more positive views of the modality and did not worry about staffing, a concern of nonadopters. Conclusions: Despite barriers to implementation, lessons learned from this pilot project have led to improvements and changes in TMH processes. Results from the pilot showed that therapists providing telepsychotherapy had increased confidence, knowledge, and motivation. As TMH continues to expand, formalized decision-making with clinical leaders regarding project goals, better matching of therapists with this modality, and assessment of medical center and clinic readiness are recommended.

“…In order to compare the study results to those of similar studies, labels from a validated taxonomy of social media adoption determinants were used. 11,44 Each belief was ranked from most to least frequently mentioned. The top 75th percentile of most frequently cited beliefs were considered "salient" in keeping with TPB methodology.…”

Objective: Collaborative writing applications (CWAs), such as the Google Docs TM platform, can improve skill acquisition, knowledge retention, and collaboration in medical education. Using CWAs to support the training of residents offers many advantages, but stimulating them to contribute remains challenging. The purpose of this study was to identify emergency medicine (EM) residents' beliefs about their intention to contribute summaries of landmark articles to a Google Docs TM slideshow while studying for their RoyalCollege of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC) certification exam. Method: Using the Theory of Planned Behavior, the authors interviewed graduating RCPSC EM residents about contributing to a slideshow. Residents were asked about behavioral beliefs (advantages/disadvantages), normative beliefs (positive/negative referents), and control beliefs (barriers/facilitators). Two reviewers independently performed qualitative content analysis of interview transcripts to identify salient beliefs in relation to the defined behaviors.Results: Of 150 eligible EM residents, 25 participated. The main reported advantage of contributing to the online slideshow was learning consolidation (n = 15); the main reported disadvantage was information overload (n = 3). The most frequently reported favorable referents were graduating EM residents writing the certification exam (n = 16). Few participants (n = 3) perceived any negative referents. The most frequently reported facilitator was peerreviewed high-quality scientific information (n = 9); and the most frequently reported barrier was time constraints (n = 22). Conclusion: Salient beliefs exist regarding EM residents' intention to contribute content to an online collaborative writing project using a Google Docs TM slideshow. Overall, participants perceived more advantages than disadvantages to contributing and believed that this initiative would receive wide support. However, participants reported several barriers that need to be addressed to increase contributions. Our intention is for the beliefs identified in this study to contribute to the design of a theory-based questionnaire to explore determinants of residents' intentions to contribute to an online collaborative writing project. This will help develop implementation strategies for increasing contributions to other CWAs in medical education. RÉSUMÉObjectif: Les applications d'écriture collective (AEC), telles que la plateforme Google Docs TM , peuvent améliorer l'acquisition des compétences, la conservation du savoir et la collaboration en formation médicale. Ainsi, les AEC utilisées à l'appui de la formation donnée aux résidents offrent de nombreux avantages, mais la contribution au contenu relève du défi. L'étude décrite ici avait pour but de recueillir l'opinion des résidents en médecine d'urgence (MU) sur leur intention de présenter des résumés d'article novateur dans un diaporama Google Docs pendant qu'ils se préparaient à leur examen de certification du Collège royal des médecins et chirurgiens ...

The use of information and communication technologies in mental health nursing

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are part of everyday nursing practice. They are routinely used to store patient data and provide the foundation by which teams and health professionals communicate (e.g. mental health nurses use email as part of their daily practice). This paper discusses the use of ICTs by mental health nurses and their impact on mental health nursing practice. While some benefits of ICTs—information management, access to health services, quality improvement and cost containment—are well documented, others have yet to be fully realised. The paper looks at the possible reasons for this and examines why mental health nurses should concern themselves with this technological revolution.
