Abstract
Introduction
Disengagement is a problem for early intervention in psychosis (EIP) services. Access to trusted information on a website might help to overcome some of the problems associated with disengagement. Clinician and organisational engagement are integral to the implementation and uptake of online resources.
Aims and Objectives
A theory-driven approach used the normalisation process theory (NPT) to investigate the implementation of an NHS psychoeducational website developed for the Early Youth Engagement Project (EYE-2). The aim was to establish barriers and facilitators to website use.
Methods
A cross-sectional survey study was used; 36 EIP clinicians in Sussex were asked about their attitudes towards introducing the website and using it in appointments. Accessibility, usability and internet skills were also measured.
Results
A key implementation barrier was lack of familiarity with the website and its content, which inhibited use. Poorer scores in the NPT ‘Collective Action’ construct relating to Skillset Workability and Relational Integration (staff confidence and ability) suggested that clinicians lacked confidence in their skills and ability to introduce the website in clinical sessions. Findings suggest that clinicians, might have lower operational skills compared to the general population.
Conclusion
Embedding of nominated digital leads in teams as well as appropriate training is required to promote familiarity, confidence and enhance digital skills. Larger studies are required to establish the replicability of our findings.
期刊介绍:
Early Intervention in Psychiatry publishes original research articles and reviews dealing with the early recognition, diagnosis and treatment across the full range of mental and substance use disorders, as well as the underlying epidemiological, biological, psychological and social mechanisms that influence the onset and early course of these disorders. The journal provides comprehensive coverage of early intervention for the full range of psychiatric disorders and mental health problems, including schizophrenia and other psychoses, mood and anxiety disorders, substance use disorders, eating disorders and personality disorders. Papers in any of the following fields are considered: diagnostic issues, psychopathology, clinical epidemiology, biological mechanisms, treatments and other forms of intervention, clinical trials, health services and economic research and mental health policy. Special features are also published, including hypotheses, controversies and snapshots of innovative service models.
