“…Interventions may be either guided (delivered via a trained professional) or self-guided (users working through the intervention on their own). Guided interventions are more frequently used for selective and indicated prevention, whereas self-guided ones are more frequently associated with universal prevention [ 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. Self-guided internet- and mobile-based interventions based on common psychotherapeutic techniques can have small positive effects in reducing depression and smaller effects in reducing anxiety [ 13 ].…”

Research into digital interventions for mental well-being promotion has grown in recent years, fuelled by the need to improve mental health prevention strategies and respond to challenges arising from the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. This bibliometric analysis provides a structured overview of publication trends and themes in primary research studies reporting an array of digital interventions indexed at WoS from 2004 to 2023. Bibliometric data were collected on a sample of 1117 documents and analysed using the Biblioshiny package. Supplemental network visualisation analysis was conducted using VosViewer. The study, based on Web of Science and Scopus databases, indicates a marked increase in publications post-2020. There were seven groups of research themes clustered around “Mindfulness”, “Anxiety”, “COVID-19”, “Acceptance and Commitment Therapy”, “Depression”, “Web-based”, and “Positive Psychology”. Further, results demonstrated the growth of specific themes (e.g., mindfulness, mhealth), the defining impact of COVID-19 studies, and the importance of both randomised controlled trials and formative research. Overall, research in the field is still early in its development and is expected to continue to grow. Findings highlight the field’s dynamic response to societal and technological changes, suggesting a future trajectory that leans increasingly on digital platforms for mental health promotion and intervention. Finally, study limitations and implications for future studies are discussed.

Background In China, family care remains the main form of care for the disabled elderly. As the degree of disability of the disabled elderly increases, the challenges faced by family caregivers also increase. Based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), it is essential to explore the third-party disability status of family caregivers of the disabled elderly after stroke and to understand the blocking factors, which will help to improve the quality of life of the family caregivers. Methods This study was a qualitative descriptive study based on semi-structured face-to-face interviews. To explore the caring experience of 27 family caregivers of disabled elderly in Shanghai by purposive sampling. The Colaizzi 7-step analysis method was used to analyze the data and form themes. Finally, identify the elements of third-party disability for family caregivers. Results Third-party disability among family caregivers of disabled elderly after stroke can be summarized into eight themes: physical health impairment, mental health impairment, increase in care tasks, estrangement of close relationships, termination of entertainment and social interaction, increasing economic pressure, lack of support system, care difficulties and needs. Conclusions: Third-party disabilities are more severe among family caregivers of the disabled elderly. All sectors of society should attach great importance to the needs of family caregivers of the disabled elderly and address practical difficulties to achieve healthy aging.
