简要总结
The purpose of this project is to scale implementation and evaluation of an m-health app designed to promote early intervention and mental health support for frontline healthcare workers to reduce their risk of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and/or the mental health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Beyond Silence has received an additional year of funding to scale implementation across 4-6 additional healthcare organizations.
详细描述
This project was designed to respond to the urgent and critical need for accessible mental health services and supports for front-line healthcare workers. Innovative solutions are needed to ensure the psychological health and safety of frontline workers and to ensure quality care for the millions of Canadians who relied on their services. This project provides an opportunity to study the implementation and impact of Beyond Silence, a new e-mental health approach to early intervention and peer support that was customized for healthcare workers.
The objectives of this study are to answer both implementation and impact questions:
Implementation:
- What are the patterns of app use among healthcare workers over a 3-6 month period?
- What factors influence how the app is utilized among workers in diverse healthcare organizations?
Impact: 3. Does use of the app increase mental health literacy among healthcare workers? 4. Does the app increase outreach to peer support? 5. Does outreach to peer support in the app reduce the level of distress?
