Abstract

Patient portals can have positive consequences in the empowerment of people with depression by raising awareness about their condition. Patient portals are important yet challenging technologies in the field of mental health care. We conducted a scoping review aiming to investigate some important characteristics and features of the mental health websites and related patient portal services for the target audience including people with depression. For this purpose, two reviewers independently entered the keywords in the popular search engines including Google, Yahoo, and Bing in April 2019, in order to find mental health websites that provide patient portal service targeting depression. Examination of the inclusion and exclusion criteria led finally to the selection of 31 websites. We found out that some features of patient portals including the online questionnaires, messaging between the patient and the healthcare provider, and medication refill were more consistent with the areas on which the mental healthcare providers focus, and thus can be effective in improving the progression of these areas. It is essential for patient portal providers to put more focus on expressing the patient portal's features and objectives on their websites. Besides, it is also necessary to conduct further research to investigate the obstacles and facilitators of the interactive features of the patient portals in the field of mental health care, particularly depression.

针对抑郁症的心理健康患者门户网站:贴近现实的图片。
病人门户网站可以提高人们对抑郁症患者病情的认识,从而对增强他们的能力产生积极影响。患者门户网站是心理健康护理领域重要而又具有挑战性的技术。我们进行了一次范围界定综述,旨在调查心理健康网站和相关患者门户网站服务的一些重要特点和功能,其目标受众包括抑郁症患者。为此,两位审稿人于2019年4月分别在谷歌、雅虎和必应等常用搜索引擎中输入关键词,以查找提供针对抑郁症患者的患者门户服务的心理健康网站。通过对纳入和排除标准的审查,最终选出了 31 个网站。我们发现,患者门户网站的一些功能,包括在线问卷调查、患者与医疗服务提供者之间的信息传递、药物补充等,与精神医疗服务提供者关注的领域较为一致,因此可以有效改善这些领域的进展。患者门户网站提供者有必要更加注重在网站上表达患者门户网站的功能和目标。此外,也有必要开展进一步的研究,调查患者门户网站的互动功能在精神卫生保健领域,尤其是抑郁症领域的障碍和促进因素。
