“…This program should be useful also for other HCPs such as nurses/midwives at primary care settings and at hospitals. Future research should evaluate the KAS-program using smartphone applications that were found to be useful in treatment of perinatal depression [45,46].…”

Background: During the perinatal period women lack screening and treatments for perinatal depressive symptoms, while public health professionals (PHPs) in primary care centres (PCCs) need training for identification and management of such symptoms. This quasi-experimental study was aimed at evaluating knowledge, attitudes and self-efficacy among PHPs after participating in a Knowledge, Attitude, and Self-efficacy (KAS) program for identification and management of perinatal depressive symptoms.Method: The KAS-program, carried through in Sakonnakhon in north-eastern Thailand, comprised one day of theory and a four-week period of field practice. Thirty-three PHPs from PCCs participated in the program. Twenty-three of them participated in focus group discussions (FGDs). Chi-square for trend, paired-sample T-tests and content analysis were used. Results: Knowledge, attitude and self-efficacy scores increased after the PHPs had fully participated in the KAS-program. Four categories emerged from the FGDs: increased understanding and knowledge, being aware and having a positive attitude, having confidence and ability to work, and need of regular training and feedback.Conclusion: The KAS-program may contribute to giving PHPs in PCCs the knowledge, positive attitude and self-efficacy they need to identify and manage perinatal depressive symptoms. Implementation of the KAS-program to other healthcare professionals such as nurses/midwives is great of interest.

“…The field of psychosis has also been investigated, in particular the management of schizophrenia (Hswen et al, 2018;Torous and Keshavan, 2018;Wisniewski et al, 2019). In the field of perinatal psychiatry, smartphone applications could be a novel method to addressing the gap in the provision of postpartum care services, providing psychoeducation, and improving maternal parental self-efficacy for childbearing women (Fealy et al, 2019).…”

“…For instance, delivering psychological instruments through technologies (eg, mobile phone apps) allows researchers to collect data directly from the web; thus, the wide use of the mood rating strategy would suggest saving time [94,95]. For instance, some studies have analyzed the feasibility of daily or weekly SMS text messages based on mood ratings, showing that mood ratings represent a valid monitoring strategy for patients with depression [70,96,97]. Mobile phone apps allow real-time tracking of mood status in patients with T2DM [70], anywhere and at any time, and they are particularly suitable for delivering immediate feedback (which makes them preferable to tablets and desktop computers).…”

BACKGROUND The use of technological devices appears to help the self-management of individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (2DM), particularly regarding psychological distress. However, literature reports inconsistent results concerning the psychological instruments which these devices deliver for the screening of patients’ mental state and subsequently outlining the intervention. OBJECTIVE This study aims to systematically review previous literature on instruments considered most accurate and used in assessing depression, anxiety and stress in patients with 2DM, by means of technological devices, with a focus on the efficacy and usability of such tools. METHODS A search covering 2009-2019 was conducted using PsycINFO, Cinhal and PubMED databases, in which the following terms (and derivates) were considered: diabetes mellitus, measure, assessment, depression, anxiety, stress, self-care, self-management, technology, eHealth, Mobile-Health, mobile phone, device, and smartphone. It has been used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA), based on a set of inclusion/exclusion criteria. RESULTS A total of 19 papers were included. Four studies administered the Diabetes Distress Scale to assess distress-related diabetes, particularly the perceived emotional burdens of managing diabetes. Three studies applied the mood rating scale to screen and monitor stress symptoms. The most frequently evaluated symptoms related to depression, with thirteen studies based mainly on the Patient Health Questionnaire-9. Two studies focused on anxiety, using the Brief Symptom Inventory. CONCLUSIONS It appears of great importance to use psychological tools presenting good psychometric properties already validated in patients with diabetes. Although the assessment of psychological symptoms is important, the use of technological devices to conduct such assessment appears underrated.
