Electroconvulsive Therapy

Electroconvulsive Therapy

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), or shock therapy, remains a critical biomedical intervention for severe, treatment-resistant depression. While its origins can be traced back to Hippocrates' observations that malaria-induced convulsions alleviated mental illness, modern ECT has evolved significantly from its earlier, more primitive applications. First introduced in 1938 by Ugo Cerletti and his colleagues, ECT involves inducing controlled seizures using electrical currents. In its early years,...

Background:

Epilepsy self-management is crucial, encompassing medication adherence, stress reduction, and sleep quality.
Accessible, theory-based programs are needed to support individuals with epilepsy.
Existing self-management support may not adequately address the multifaceted needs of epilepsy patients.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the theoretical underpinnings and development of the WebEase website.
To evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of the WebEase program.
To share lessons learned during the WebEase development process.

Main Methods:

Content development based on Social Cognitive Theory, Transtheoretical Model, and Motivational Interviewing.
Formative research included literature review, computer use survey, and focus groups.
Expert and consumer reviews informed program design and refinement.

Main Results:

The WebEase website was developed incorporating theory-based self-management strategies.
Feasibility, acceptability, and usability testing were conducted.
The program includes tailored learning modules and a daily logging feature (MyLog).

Conclusions:

The WebEase website provides a feasible and acceptable platform for epilepsy self-management.
Theory-driven design enhances the potential effectiveness of digital health interventions.
Ongoing development and evaluation are essential for optimizing digital health tools for chronic condition management.
