Area of Science:

Clinical Psychology
Mental Health Interventions
Healthcare Adaptations

Background:

The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated rapid adaptations in healthcare delivery.
Problem Solving Training (PST) is a key intervention for medically complex patients.
Understanding the impact of pandemic-related adaptations on PST is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

To document adaptations made to VA Problem Solving Training (PST) during the COVID-19 pandemic.
To compare mental health outcomes for Veterans before (2019) and during (2020) the pandemic.
To assess the effectiveness of adapted PST for medically complex Veterans.

Main Methods:

Clinicians participated in PST workshops and consultations.
122 Veterans completed pre- and post-treatment measures for depression, anxiety, and problem-solving beliefs.
Qualitative data explored clinician challenges in pandemic-era treatment delivery.

Main Results:

Adaptations addressed challenges in remote delivery (phone, video), recruitment, and privacy.
Veterans in both 2019 and 2020 cohorts showed significant improvements in depression, anxiety, and problem-solving.
No significant differences in outcome improvement were observed between the pre-pandemic and pandemic cohorts.

Conclusions:

Pandemic-induced flexibilities in PST delivery overcame implementation barriers.
Treatment adaptations did not diminish the intervention's effectiveness.
Findings support the continued use of flexible PST delivery models post-pandemic.
