Effectiveness of digital interventions for eight mental disorders: A meta-analytic synthesis.

Objectives: In this unified series of meta-analyses, we integrate the effects of digital interventions in adults with mental disorders compared to inactive controls. We cover eight indications: depressive disorder, insomnia, specific phobias, generalized anxiety, panic, social anxiety, obsessive-compulsive, and posttraumatic stress disorder.

Methods: Digital intervention trials in patients with a diagnosed mental disorder (confirmed by clinical interviews) were extracted from the Metapsy living databases for psychological treatments.

Effectiveness of psychotherapy: Synthesis of a "meta-analytic research domain" across world regions and 12 mental health problems.

The scientific output generated in psychology has surged in recent decades, including the number of studies investigating psychological treatments. To keep track of all this evidence, we developed the "Metapsy" meta-analytic research domain: a comprehensive system of open databases and tailored software that allows for rapid evidence generation. We leverage this novel infrastructure to summarize the effect of psychological treatment across 12 mental health problems and trace back the global expansion of psychotherapy research over the past 50 years.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Mental Disorders in Adults: A Unified Series of Meta-Analyses.

Importance: Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is a first-line treatment for most mental disorders. However, no meta-analytic study has yet integrated the results of randomized clinical trials on CBT across different disorders, using uniform methodologies and providing a complete overview of the field.

Objective: To examine the effect sizes of CBT for 4 anxiety disorders, 2 eating disorders, major depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and psychotic and bipolar disorders on symptoms of the respective disorders using uniform methodologies for data extraction, risk of bias (RoB) assessment, and meta-analytic techniques.

ESM-Q: A consensus-based quality assessment tool for experience sampling method items.

The experience sampling method (ESM) is increasingly used by researchers from various disciplines to answer novel questions about individuals' daily lives. Measurement best practices have long been overlooked in ESM research, and recent reviews show that item quality is often not reported in ESM studies. The absence of information about item quality may be partly explained by the lack of consensus on how ESM item quality should be evaluated.

Evaluating the feasibility of using the Multiphase Optimization Strategy framework to assess implementation strategies for digital mental health applications activations: a proof of concept study.

Background: Despite the effectiveness and potential of digital mental health interventions (DMHIs) in routine care, their uptake remains low. In Germany, digital mental health applications (DiGA), certified as low-risk medical devices, can be prescribed by healthcare professionals (HCPs) to support the treatment of mental health conditions. The objective of this proof-of-concept study was to evaluate the feasibility of using the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST) framework when assessing implementation strategies.

Beyond the current state of just-in-time adaptive interventions in mental health: a qualitative systematic review.

Background: Just-In-Time Adaptive Interventions (JITAIs) are interventions designed to deliver timely tailored support by adjusting to changes in users' internal states and external contexts. To accomplish this, JITAIs often apply complex analytic techniques, such as machine learning or Bayesian algorithms to real- or near-time data acquired from smartphones and other sensors. Given the idiosyncratic, dynamic, and context dependent nature of mental health symptoms, JITAIs hold promise for mental health.

A network perspective on posttraumatic stress disorder and comorbid borderline personality disorder symptoms.

Comorbidity between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and borderline personality disorder (BPD) is surrounded by diagnostic controversy and although various effective treatments exist, dropout and nonresponse are high. By estimating the network structure of comorbid PTSD and BPD symptoms, the current study illustrates how the network perspective offers tools to tackle these challenges. The sample comprised of 154 patients with a PTSD diagnosis and BPD symptoms, assessed by clinician-administered interviews.

Amount and frequency of psychotherapy as predictors of treatment outcome for adult depression: A meta-regression analysis.

Background: It is not clear whether the amount and frequency of psychotherapy is associated with treatment effects for adult depression. We investigated whether a number of indicators of the amount and frequency of psychotherapy were related to the treatment effects in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing individual, face-to-face psychotherapy to a control group (e.g.

Absolute and relative outcomes of psychotherapies for eight mental disorders: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Psychotherapies are first-line treatments for most mental disorders, but their absolute outcomes (i.e., response and remission rates) are not well studied, despite the relevance of such information for health care users, providers and policy makers.

Day-to-day affect fluctuations in adults with childhood trauma history: a two-week ecological momentary assessment study.

Background: Childhood trauma (CT) may increase vulnerability to psychopathology through affective dysregulation (greater variability, autocorrelation, and instability of emotional symptoms). However, CT associations with dynamic affect fluctuations while considering differences in mean affect levels across CT status have been understudied.

Methods: 346 adults (age = 49.

A Web-Based Stress Management Intervention for University Students in Indonesia (Rileks): Feasibility Study Using a Pretest-Posttest Design.

Background: University students are susceptible to excessive stress. A web-based stress management intervention holds promise to improve stress but is still at a novel stage in Indonesia.

Objective: The aim of this paper was to report the feasibility of the intervention we developed-Rileks-among university students in Indonesia in terms of acceptability and usability, and to propose recommendations for future improvements.

Discovering different profiles in the dynamics of depression based on real-time monitoring of mood: a first exploration.

Background: Although depression is typically characterized by a persistent depressed mood, mood dynamics do seem to vary across a depressed population. Heterogeneity of mood variability (magnitude of changes) and emotional inertia (speed at which mood shifts) is seen in clinical practice. However, studies investigating the heterogeneity of these mood dynamics are still scarce.
