Qualitative study on information needs and preferences regarding prescriptions of digital mental health interventions by general practitioners and psychotherapists in Germany (formative qualitative research for a discrete-choice experiment).
No full textThe global burden of common mental health disorders has become a major concern for public health stakeholders, including clinicians, so more efficient strategies for prevention and treatment are needed (Vigo et al., 2016). Despite notable improvements in healthcare over the past two decades (Thom et al., 2019) and though Germany offers universal healthcare coverage for most citizens (87 % with statutory health insurance), the prevalence rates of mental health disorders remain relatively high compared to many other high-income countries without such benefits (Steffen et al., 2020). For the purpose of flexible low-threshold services, digital mental health interventions (dMHIs) could be a suitable approach to translate psychological interventions into stand-alone or blended formats (combining face-to-face and online delivery).
Specifically, healthcare professionals (HCPs), patients and the public need to be educated about novel options. Especially HCPs are an important information source for patients and thus the main target group to foster the dissemination of dMHIs at early stages. In recent years, a variety of dMHIs have been introduced to improve the dissemination of interventions for the prevention and treatment of common mental health disorders on a large scale (Ebert et al., 2017). Several meta-analyses report professionally guided dMHIs that are based on the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to be effective in reducing the symptoms of mood and anxiety disorders (Andersson et al., 2019), but their uptake remains slow (Breil et al., 2021; Federal Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians, Germany, 2024).
Since the passing of the Digital Healthcare Act on December 18, 2019 (Federal Ministry of Health, Germany, 2019), specific medical apps for psychiatric diagnoses have been integrated into the benefits catalogue of statutory health insurances (Gerlinger et al., 2021). Since Fall 2020, physicians and psychotherapists in Germany can thus prescribe certain certified digital health applications (German Digitale Gesundheitsanwendungen; DiGA), including app- or browser-provided dMHIs, covered by the statutory health insurance. In Germany, it is intended that DiGA are mainly prescribed in primary care by general practitioners (GPs), who can be reimbursed for additional services related to DiGA use (Prodan et al., 2022). Despite a large amount of evidence that supports the efficacy of dMHIs in clinical trials and to some extent also their effectiveness under real-world conditions, their utilization has been described as relatively low (Breil et al., 2021).
Various barriers, such as skepticism regarding the usefulness of dMHIs, concerns related to data security, privacy as well as confidentiality, and deficiency of information are still considered to restrain prescribing DiGA (Witte et al., 2021). Though attitudes towards DiGA became more positive over the last years, lacking knowledge may be a key barrier to the use of digital health tools in practice (e.g., insufficient information on DiGA, reported by over 87 % of GPs; Dahlhausen et al., 2021). Hence, information could be the key to close the intention-behavior-gap in HCPs regarding the professional use of dMHIs. In addition, the acceptance of dMHIs in HCPs seems to depend on the application purpose (Braun et al., 2022). Overall, understanding information needs and preferences may be a mandatory step to create information strategies that can promote the large-scale acceptance and use of dMHIs like DiGA by informing HCPs as multipliers. However, little is known about the specific needs and preferences of HCPs that are the gate keepers in healthcare for people seeking advice for mental health issues such as GPs or psychotherapists.
Taken together, the remarkable divergence between the demand of the public for psychological support and marginal uptake rates call for basic research in order to understand information needs and preferences regarding dMHIs among HCPs in primary care. We focus GPs and psychological psychotherapists (PPTs) as they currently represent the main target and key multipliers for the adoption of dMHIs like DiGA. Our focus on multi-attribute information strategies for promoting the use of dMHIs in HCPs as a trusted health information source thus requires a context-sensitive inquiry. Furthermore, an in-depth needs assessment could promote the choice and interpretation of preferred information strategies in subgroups of HCPs, such as early adopters (e.g. communication channel). The results of the proposed study could help develop tailored information strategies aimed at improving the acceptance of and knowledge about dMHIs among HCPs depending on their readiness to adopt the innovation

Space motion theory
No full textSpecial relativity discovered the relation between motion and time, and proposed that motion and time are all relative, determined by reference frames. Herein, the other possibility that motion and time are all absolute, regardless of reference frames, is proposed established on the existence of vacuum energy. It is concluded that vacuum energy is composed of free vacuum energy (Ev), particulate information energy of particles (Es) and entropic information energy of particles (Ee); Ee=Mv2, where v is named energy velocity. Every point in space has a specific motion state and a large uniform space forms a space motion background. The v of a particle is relative to and measured by an observer static in the space motion background. Every elementary quantity: energy, mass, time and length, requires an object of reference to define its size. The absolute quantities of an object vary with energy velocity while the relative quantities have invariability, named relative invariance

“We go hunting…”: Understanding experiences of people living with obesity and food insecurity when shopping for food in the supermarket to meet their weight related goals
No full textThe high prevalence of food insecurity in the United Kingdom has been exacerbated by the cost-of-living crisis. In high-income countries, those experiencing food insecurity struggle to buy and consume foods that meet Government healthy eating recommendations, and are at increased risk of obesity, linked to poor diet quality. Individuals in high-income countries purchase most of their food to consume at home from supermarkets, making this an important context within which healthier and environmentally sustainable food purchasing should be supported. However, the lived experience of supermarket food purchasing in people living with obesity and food insecurity has not been explored in depth. Adults, living in England and Scotland, who self-identified as living with obesity and food insecurity and looking to reduce their weight, were recruited to take part in semi-structured interviews (n = 25) or focus groups (n = 8) to explore their experience of shopping for food in the supermarket. Using thematic analysis, four main themes were generated: 1) the Conscious Consumer; decision making and effortful practices both in preparation of and during the shopping trip, 2) the Restricted Consumer; restrictions around the type of food purchased, where food can be purchased and the resulting emotional toll, 3) Mitigating the Rising Cost of Food; agency and actions taken to mitigate high food prices, 4) Stigma; instances of perceived and/ or experienced weight and poverty-related stigma and the physical actions and cognitive social comparisons used to minimise stigma. Findings provide insights for evidence-based policy on the need for upstream changes within the wider food system to address the social determinants of health and support people living with obesity and food insecurity to eat healthier and more sustainable diets

Further Evidence Against the AP/HP Scales
No full textData across 3 studies, all providing evidence that the AP/HP scales are not valid measures for assessing the theoretical constructs of authentic/hubristic pride, as defined by Tracy and Robins (2007). The AP scale appears to be a generic pride scale, or a more broadly interpreted measure relating to positive feelings about success and self-esteem. Additionally, the HP scale does not appear to measure any singular psychological construct, and should not be used in future research.
Much of this data is now included in a paper in press with Frontiers
