A descriptive study was conducted on health care providers them use electronic health care system and patients or clients in Ibn Rushed Teaching Hospital in Baghdad-Iraq. To evaluate the feasibility of activating electronic health care system, Data was collected using a developed self-administrated questionnaire; data was collected from March 20 th , 2019 to May 6 th 2019.A purposive sample (non-probability sample) were selected (N=115) the study sample was divided into two parts, the first part is healthcare providers and their number (65), the number of physicians is (32) and the number of nurses is (33). The second part of the sample is patients or clients and their number (50).Data were analyzed through the application of descriptive and inferential statistical approaches by using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 19.For health care providers, the findings for revealed that most of the respondents were males with age's range from (31 to 39) years old, most of the respondents were physicians with (8 to 17) years' experience. Most of the responses regarding of feasibility of activating electronic health care system, there are feasibility from activating electronic health care system (83%).As for results patients and clients Most of the respondents were males with age's range from (35 to 55) years old, level education for respondents were Primary and Preparatory education. Most of the responses regarding of feasibility of activating electronic health care system, there are feasibility from activating electronic health care system (90%).The study recommended the government should be well informed about the benefits and latest innovation in e-Health so as to encourage appropriate allocation of budget, so that e-Health policy implementation can be taken more seriously. Highly recommendation the Ministry of Health to impose and generalize the experience of the electronic health care system in all hospitals in the country. Highly recommended that the educational sector inculcate e-Health into the curriculum for the integration of IT solutions into healthcare to flow successfully, this will provide health care givers graduating from learning institutions systemic training and education on the use of the e-Health. Recommended for further studies to adopt both quantitative and qualitative research approaches in similar studies to generate more responses from participants. This would help reveal whether or not the intended benefits of the implemented E-Health to patients are actually realized.

“…Internet-delivered interventions have several advantages over traditional therapy, including increased scalability and accessibility, in that many applications are not limited by time (they can be administered asynchronously) or space (they can be administered remotely) ( Basnet et al, 2014 ). Despite the demonstrated success and value of internet-delivered interventions for many mental health disorders, there has been little development of such interventions for PDs, and only a limited number of studies have been conducted on their effectiveness.…”

Muva physical activity intervention to improve social functioning in people with a severe mental illness: study protocol of a pragmatic stepped wedge cluster randomized trial

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background People with severe mental illness (SMI) often suffer from long-lasting symptoms that negatively influence their social functioning, their ability to live a meaningful life, and participation in society. Interventions aimed at increasing physical activity can improve social functioning, but people with SMI experience multiple barriers to becoming physically active. Besides, the implementation of physical activity interventions in day-to-day practice is difficult. In this study, we aim to evaluate the effectiveness and implementation of a physical activity intervention to improve social functioning, mental and physical health. Methods In this pragmatic stepped wedge cluster randomized controlled trial we aim to include 100 people with SMI and their mental health workers from a supported housing organization. The intervention focuses on increasing physical activity by implementing group sports activities, active guidance meetings, and a serious game to set physical activity goals. We aim to decrease barriers to physical activity through active involvement of the mental health workers, lifestyle courses, and a medication review. Participating locations will be divided into four clusters and randomization will decide the start of the intervention. The primary outcome is social functioning. Secondary outcomes are quality of life, symptom severity, physical activity, cardiometabolic risk factors, cardiorespiratory fitness, and movement disturbances with specific attention to postural adjustment and movement sequencing in gait. In addition, we will assess the implementation by conducting semi-structured interviews with location managers and mental health workers and analyze them by direct content analysis. Discussion This trial is innovative since it aims to improve social functioning in people with SMI through a physical activity intervention which aims to lower barriers to becoming physically active in a real-life setting. The strength of this trial is that we will also evaluate the implementation of the intervention. Limitations of this study are the risk of poor implementation of the intervention, and bias due to the inclusion of a medication review in the intervention that might impact outcomes. Trial registration This trial was registered prospectively in The Netherlands Trial Register (NTR) as NTR NL9163 on December 20, 2020. As the The Netherlands Trial Register is no longer available, the trial can now be found in the International Clinical Trial Registry Platform via: https://trialsearch.who.int/Trial2.aspx?TrialID=NL9163.
