摘要

摘要:需要对沙特阿拉伯基于智能手机的心理健康应用程序(MH-Apps)的使用和看法进行探讨。本研究调查了沙特阿拉伯医护人员(HCWs),包括精神科医生、心理学家和家庭医生对心理健康应用程序的使用情况。研究还评估了医护人员对这些应用程序的兴趣和将其融入实践的意愿,以及他们的认知灵活性及其与态度和应用程序使用的关系。这项横断面研究采用方便抽样和滚雪球抽样的方法招募了 386 名参与者。认知灵活性量表(CFS)用于评估认知灵活性。结果显示,33.2%的医护人员下载了MH应用程序,67.9%的医护人员认为这些应用程序有些益处。然而,大多数人尚未试用过这些应用程序。只有 7% 的医护人员非常认同这些应用程序以证据为基础。36.5%的医护人员对在实践中使用这些应用程序表示担忧,其中最常见的担忧是缺乏循证支持。下载心理健康应用程序供个人使用的主要原因是为了改善心理健康,而与患者相关的用途则是心理教育。此外,27.5%的医护人员向患者推荐了MH-Apps,其中老年人、女性和精神科医生/心理学家更倾向于推荐MH-Apps。年长的医护人员、曾经推荐过 MH-Apps 的医护人员和使用过这些应用程序的医护人员的 CFS 评分较高。应鼓励沙特阿拉伯的医护人员使用并推荐 MH-App,同时需要更多的循证研究来消除他们的顾虑。此外,还需要进一步研究认知灵活性对临床实践的影响。

Use and Perceptions of Mobile Mental Health Applications Among Healthcare Workers in Saudi Arabia: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Abstract: The use and perceptions of smartphone-based mental health applications (MH-Apps) in Saudi Arabia require exploration. This study investigated MH-App use among Saudi Arabian healthcare workers (HCWs), including psychiatrists, psychologists, and family medicine physicians. It also assessed HCWs' interest in and willingness to integrate these apps into their practices, as well as their cognitive flexibility and its relationship with their attitudes and app use. This cross-sectional study involved 386 participants recruited using convenience and snowball sampling. The Cognitive Flexibility Scale (CFS) was used to assess cognitive flexibility. The results showed that 33.2% of HCWs downloaded MH-Apps, with 67.9% considering them somewhat beneficial. However, most had not yet tried them. Only 7% of HCWs strongly agreed that these apps are evidence-based. Concerns about using these apps in their practices were reported by 36.5% of HCWs, with the most common concern being the lack of evidence-based support. The primary reason for downloading MH-Apps for personal use was to improve mental well-being, whereas patient-related use was psychoeducation. Furthermore, 27.5% of HCWs recommended MH-Apps to their patients, with old age, women, and psychiatrists/psychologists more likely to recommend them. Higher CFS scores were more strongly associated with older HCWs, those who had ever recommended MH-Apps, and those who used the apps. Saudi Arabian HCWs should be encouraged to use and recommend MH-Apps, with more evidence-based research needed to address concerns. Further research on cognitive flexibility's implications for clinical practice is also warranted.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease publishes peer-reviewed articles containing new data or ways of reorganizing established knowledge relevant to understanding and modifying human behavior, especially that defined as impaired or diseased, and the context, applications and effects of that knowledge. Our policy is summarized by the slogan, "Behavioral science for clinical practice." We consider articles that include at least one behavioral variable, clear definition of study populations, and replicable research designs. Authors should use the active voice and first person whenever possible.
