Summary
Digital interventions enhance shared decision-making (SDM) in mental healthcare, improving patient activation and reducing symptom severity. However, limited research quality necessitates further investigation into their effectiveness and optimal features.
Area of Science:
- Mental Health Research
- Digital Health Interventions
- Shared Decision-Making (SDM)
Background:
- Shared decision-making (SDM) is crucial for person-centered mental healthcare.
- Digital health technology offers potential for supporting SDM in mental health.
- The effectiveness of digital SDM interventions in mental healthcare requires evaluation.
Approach:
- Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
- Searched major databases (MEDLINE, PsycINFO, EMBASE, CINAHL, Cochrane).
- Included studies on digital SDM interventions for mental health conditions.
Key Points:
- Digital SDM interventions showed moderate positive effects on patient activation (SMD = 0.56) and working alliance (SMD = 0.21).
- Small positive effects were observed on general symptom severity (SMD = -0.17) and decisional conflict (SMD = -0.37).
- No significant effects were found for self-efficacy, satisfaction, or adverse events; evidence quality was low to very low.
Conclusions:
- Digital interventions show promise for supporting SDM in mental healthcare.
- Limited research quality and quantity necessitate more high-quality studies.
- Further research should identify effective digital intervention features for SDM.

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) serves as the primary classification system for mental health disorders, providing standardized diagnostic criteria for clinicians and researchers. First published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) in 1952, the DSM has undergone several revisions to reflect evolving psychiatric understanding. The fifth edition, DSM-5, released in 2013, introduced key updates that expanded diagnostic categories and modified diagnostic...

01:20Decision Making
345
Decision-making is a fundamental cognitive process that involves evaluating alternatives and selecting among them. This process can range from simple choices, such as deciding what to wear, to complex decisions, like choosing a major in college or a career path. The complexity of the decision often dictates the approach we use, which can be broadly categorized into two types: automatic and controlled decision-making.

The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.
For example, a patient with a chronic...
