Hypothesis
What are healthcare professionals' experiences with an internet-based emotion regulation intervention added to acute psychiatric inpatient treatment?
Conclusion
Healthcare professionals view the internet-based intervention as a beneficial complement to inpatient care, despite concerns about its fit for acute psychiatric patients.
Supporting Evidence
- Participants reported few previous experiences with internet-based interventions.
- Healthcare professionals expressed positive expectations about the intervention's potential benefits.
- Concerns were raised about the fit of the intervention for patients in acute psychiatric care.
Takeaway
Doctors and nurses think that using a computer program to help patients with their feelings can be a good idea, but they worry if it will work well for everyone.
Methodology
Healthcare professionals from three acute inpatient wards were interviewed using a thematic analysis approach.
Potential Biases
Participants had limited contact with patients using the intervention, which may affect their perspectives.
Limitations
The study had a small sample size and may not represent all healthcare professionals' experiences.
