Optimizing Mental Health in Orthopedic Care
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Anxiety, Depression, Back Pain, Neck Pain
In brief
This study will utilize qualitative cross-sectional and quantitative longitudinal methods. In semi-structured interviews, orthopedic providers and patients with spine conditions will discuss their overall perspectives, specific needs, and preferred solutions to addressing mental health impairment in the context of orthopedic care and research. In these sessions, patient stakeholders will also user test two specific mental health interventions: a customized version of a commercial digital mental health intervention (Wysa) and a prototype of a print-based mental health resource guide. The patient stakeholders will be provided one month of Wysa access, and they will complete baseline and follow-up measures related to usability, clinical effectiveness, and intermediate behavioral mechanisms through which Wysa is hypothesized to act. Wysa usage data will be obtained from the app company. Delivery of Wysa and the printed resource guide will be iteratively refined based on user feedback.
