Overview

Multicentric analysis reveals barriers and facilitators to digital psychiatry adoption among mental health professionals.

Key Points

  • A mere 16.4% of mental health professionals reported effective practices in digital psychiatry interventions, highlighting a significant gap.
  • Only 6.5% of the surveyed professionals received formal training in digital mental health, indicating a need for improved education.
  • The average digitalization index score was 9.9, with higher scores linked to pre- and post-COVID-19 clinical experience in mental health.
  • Public job settings negatively impacted the digitalization index, emphasizing the need for tailored approaches in those environments.
