We aimed to understand transition to telehealth, stress, and if self-care and emotion regulation were related to stress level. Participants (N = 207) were mental health providers in independent practice. Participants completed the Perceived Stress Scale (Cohen et al., 1983);Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Gross & John, 2003);and Self-Care Assessment for Psychologists (Dorociak, Rupert, Bryant, et al., 2017) in alternating order, and answered questions about personal and professional demographics, type of independent practice, and stressors and supports during COVID-19 (closed-ended and open-ended questions). Results indicated that participants rarely used telehealth prior to COVID 19 (with 46.80% stating they never used it and 42.36% stating they used it less than a quarter of their time) and had a rapid shift to telehealth provision (with 72.91% exclusively using telehealth shortly before or after the declaration of the pandemic). Most participants reported only moderate stress during the early months of COVID-19. For emotion regulation, increased use of cognitive reappraisal was associated with less stress, but increased use of expressive suppression was associated with increased stress. All facets of self-care were associated with less stress-having professional support, engaging in professional development, having life balance, utilizing cognitive strategies, and aiming for daily balance. Participants indicated a wide variety of stressors, some related to practice and some to the pandemic, as well as sources of support, including colleagues and professional organizations.

Higher utilization of adaptive emotion regulation and regular self-care strategies were associated with lower provider stress, emphasizing the importance of regular use of these strategies.

It can easily take on the characteristics and symptoms of a behavioral addiction, such as preoccupation, mental appropriation as well as compulsiveness and loss of control. Thus, shopping addiction is becoming an increasingly important topic in research, especially in the context of the current pandemic (COVID-19). The pandemic has resulted in an increase in perceived risk factors. There is a plausible relationship between high perceived stress level along with perceived social isolation and extensive leisure time in shifting toward a pathological shopping behavior. While that does not only have a negative impact on functional but also on social and financial aspects, findings suggest that the threshold is also becoming lower due to changing social values, including changing self-conception and progressing digitalization that make online shopping more accessible. Although different reasons for an increasing prevalence rate are being discussed, the diagnosis conceptualization and classification is still unclear, leading to different and unstandardized therapeutic approaches. In addition to its impact on daily life, shopping addiction can indicate other mental illnesses. As it turned out, it is often comorbid in anxiety disorders, impulsive behaviors and substance abuse. An early and targeted treatment, as well as rising awareness, seem to be crucial and call for further investigation. While young people seem to be more at risk of developing critical shopping behavior, findings show no clear gender differences in frequency but differences in terms of buying motivation. Based on published research papers, the present narrative review therefore describes and critically discusses the phenomenon of shopping addiction and the current state of research in a broad variety of topics, considering types of shopping behavior, including Internet-based, offline, mood, impulse and leisure shopping, and diagnostic and therapeutic options in the context of influencing factors mentioned above. The topics were selected at the discretion of the authors, whereby no claim is made to be exhaustive.

In recent years, there has been research and discussion regarding the provision of telehealth services but little research on remote psychological assessments involving children and adolescents. However, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, many psychologists and neuropsychologists have had to shift to a remote assessment format. Given the rapid transition to telehealth and teleneuropsychological assessment, several organizations including the American Psychological Association (APA) and the Inter Organizational Practice Committee (IOPC) published a series of guidelines for clinicians. The article presents a brief review of current research on remote pediatric psychological assessments and professional and ethical practices developed by the APA and IOPC as well as a model of practice, based on these recommendations, for teleneuropsychological assessment in a large children's hospital. In addition, we present practical professional and ethical issues that were addressed in our rapid rollout of teleneuropsychological assessments since March 2020. We also discuss future directions for research that integrates professional best practices with the ever-changing landscape of remote neuropsychological assessment.

Since the need for social distancing can make face-to-face services less accessible, people may turn to mental health apps as an accessible and inexpensive solution. But are the claims about the efficacy of these apps supported by evidence? We identified 19 published articles on PubMed of peer-reviewed randomized clinical trials of mental health apps focused on stress, anxiety, and depression. Despite some evidence for the effectiveness of mental health apps, it remains unclear how effective these apps are compared to standard of care. Populations studied so far also lack diversity, making it difficult to generalize any benefits to racial minorities and low-income individuals—the very people who have been most negatively impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic and traditionally have higher barriers to mental health services. While apps are not a substitute for face-to-face therapy, further evidence is warranted given their potential for delivering scalable, low-cost care to patients. We call for regulatory oversight as a means to ensure mental health apps demonstrate safety and effectiveness prior to marketing.","PeriodicalId":74486,"journal":{"name":"Practice innovations (Washington, D.C.)","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45253839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
