    (2021) Carola Perez, J.; Fernandez, Olga; Caceres, Cristian; Carrasco, Alvaro E.; Moessner, Markus; Bauer, Stephanie; Espinosa Duque, Daniel; Gloger, Sergio; Krause, Mariane
    Background:Internet-based interventions promise to enhance the accessibility of mental health care for a greater number of people and in more remote places. Their effectiveness has been shown for the prevention and treatment of various mental disorders. However, their potential when delivered as add-on to conventional treatment (ie, blended care) is less clear.

    Feasibility and effectiveness of an Internet-based program for the prevention and early intervention of depression inInternet adolescents
    (2022) Espinosa-Duque, Daniel; Fernandez, Mauricio; Paula Ruiz, Maria; Carlos Jaramillo, Juan; Moessner, Markus; Bauer, Stephanie; Krause, Mariane
    Background: the high prevalence of depression in adolescence and its serious consequences, associated with its lack of detection and treatment, stimulate interest in research regarding its early prevention and intervention. Interventions based on information and communication technologies (ICT), given their flexibility and capacity for dissemination, represent innovative opportunities; however, in Latin America there is little evidence on their impact and efficacy. Objective and Methods: a quasi-experimental quantitative pilot study was carried out to evaluate the feasibility, through the variables of use and acceptability, and the estimated effect of the Internet-based program "Cuida tu animo", in 215 adolescents (103 active group, 112 control group) from two educational institutions. The adolescents' interactions with the program, its use-acceptability, and the level of depressive symptomatology and other related aspects were evaluated. Results: the adolescents report high acceptance and very moderate use of the Program. They point out that the program allowed them to learn about depression and early detection of risk; also, they recommend increasing the interactivity of the web platform, designing more diverse and entertaining content, and increasing the presence of the intervention. Conclusions: Internet-based programs such as Cuida tu animo can be a favorable complement for the prevention and early intervention of depression in adolescents. Considering the difficulty in relating the estimation of the Program's effect with its use, it is recommended that future studies include a design that permits associating the use indicators with the outcome indicators (dose-effect).

    SIN-E-STRES: An Adjunct Internet-Based Intervention for the Treatment of Patients with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in Chile
    (2020) Carrasco, Álvaro E.; Moessner, Markus; Carbonell, Carmen G.; Rodríguez, Catalina; Martini, Natalia; Pérez, Janet C.; Garrido, Pablo; Özer, Fikret; Krause Jacob, Mariane; Bauer, Stephanie
    Introducción: SIN-E-STRES es una intervención complementaria basada en Internet para pacientes con trastorno de estrés postraumático (TEPT). Los pacientes interactúan con el programa mediante un correo electrónico de monitoreo semanal y visitando un sitio web que brinda acceso a información psicoeducativa y asesoramiento a distancia. Objetivo: evaluar la aceptabilidad y viabilidad de SIN-E-STRES. Método: cuarenta y cinco pacientes adultos con TEPT se registraron para usar SIN-E-STRES durante tres meses. Este estudio explora la viabilidad en términos del interés de los pacientes en unirse al programa, sus reportes de conectividad y uso de los componentes del sitio web, y la adherencia al monitoreo. La aceptabilidad se evalúa a través de la satisfacción expresada por los participantes, sus opiniones sobre la utilidad del programa y su evaluación de aspectos positivos y negativos. Resultados: la mayoría de los pacientes invitados al programa estaban interesados en usar SIN-E-STRES, y 73% de los pacientes registrados completaron al menos una de las evaluaciones de monitoreo y la mayoría de ellos interactuaron con el sitio web. La tasa general de respuesta al monitoreo fue del 35%. La mayoría de los pacientes declararon que los mensajes de retroalimentación les ayudaron a recordar temas vistos en la terapia, también valoraron los recursos psicoeducativos en el sitio web. Conclusiones: El programa puede ser especialmente útil para pacientes que son usuarios frecuentes de Internet y correo electrónico. La intervención se puede mejorar refinando los componentes de monitoreo y retroalimentación, así como al agregar información psicoeducativa complementaria. Se necesita más investigación sobre la adherencia y el abandono en intervenciones para el TEPT. La alineación y la coherencia de SIN-E-STRES con el tratamiento principal contribuye a reforzar las indicaciones del tratamiento y, en consecuencia, puede promover la adherencia al tratamiento y la recuperación.

    (2017) Vanegas Osorio, Jorge Humberto; Krause Jacob, Mariane; Bauer, Stephanie; Moessner, Markus; Espinosa Duque, Daniel; Carrasco Guzman, Alvaro Ernesto; Botero Botero, Leon Dario; Castrillon Osorio, Leidy Carolina; Medina Mesa, Claudia Helena; Esteban Patino, Juan
    Depressive disorders affect people of all ages, they reduce the quality of life and are recurrent. The most recent reports of the Ministry of Health and Social Protection establish between 12,1 and 13,1 % the prevalence of depression in the Colombian population. In recent years, the field of e-mental health has expanded rapidly and interventions based on communication and information technologies are being suggested as means to complement conventional mental health services. In this context, the research had as purpose to evaluate in Colombia the feasibility and acceptability of the technological intervention called "Apoyo, Seguimiento y Control de Enfermedades a partir de Sistemas Operativos-ASCENSO". A purposive sample of patients discharged from psychotherapeutic treatments was selected. The HPQ-9 was applied, the ASCENSO platform was implemented, and finally, semi-structured interviews were conducted with study participants. The results show a favorable opinion of the patients that participated, the difficulties of the mental health institutions to join a project like this and a sensible lack of e-mental health programs in Colombia.
