Background: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects approximately 1 in 20 individuals, with primary care playing a crucial role in early identification and management. However, PTSD is frequently underdiagnosed in primary care settings. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the incidence of PTSD, leading to an increased demand for accessible mental health services. While NICE guidelines recommend trauma-focused therapies, access remains limited, underscoring the need for alternative strategies to support management within primary care.

Aim: To optimise and refine through co-production the PTSD Hub app, an existing digital resource, to better support individuals with PTSD in primary care settings, improving usability, clinician engagement, and patient outcomes.

Design & setting: A co-production approach was employed with stakeholders, including people with lived experience of PTSD, informal carers, and primary care professionals. Workshops were held online to gather insights on how to enhance the PTSD Hub app for better integration into primary care.

Method: Two Nominal Group Technique workshops were conducted to identify key barriers to PTSD care in primary care and generate solutions for improving the app. Participants ranked and prioritised features based on relevance to primary care.

Results: Twenty-six participants attended the workshops, representing a diverse mix of stakeholders. Key barriers identified included stigma, clinician time constraints, and limited access to trauma-focused therapies. Solutions included improving symptom tracking, enhancing customisation features, and raising clinician awareness.

Conclusion: The study highlights the potential of the PTSD Hub app in improving and supporting PTSD management in primary care. Future research should evaluate the app's effectiveness in real-world primary care settings.

Patient and public contribution: Patients and members of the public were actively involved throughout this study using a co-production approach. A lived experience advisory panel of six individuals with PTSD provided input at all stages, including shaping the study design, reviewing participant materials, and advising on workshop facilitation. Additionally, 26 participants, comprising individuals with lived experience of PTSD, informal carers, and healthcare professionals, contributed to two Nominal Group Technique workshops. A lived experience research partner (NC) was an integral part of the research team, attended all team meetings, co-facilitated workshop sessions and contributed to design, analysis and manuscript preparation.

背景:创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)影响大约1 / 20的个体,初级保健在早期识别和管理中起着至关重要的作用。然而,创伤后应激障碍在初级保健机构经常被诊断不足。COVID-19大流行加剧了创伤后应激障碍的发病率,导致对可获得的精神卫生服务的需求增加。虽然NICE指南推荐以创伤为重点的治疗方法,但可获得性仍然有限,这强调了在初级保健中支持管理的替代策略的必要性。目的:通过合作制作PTSD Hub应用程序(一个现有的数字资源)来优化和改进,以更好地支持初级保健环境中的PTSD患者,提高可用性、临床医生参与度和患者预后。设计与环境:采用与利益相关者合作的方法,包括有PTSD生活经历的人、非正式护理人员和初级保健专业人员。在线举办了研讨会,以收集有关如何增强PTSD Hub应用程序以更好地融入初级保健的见解。方法:进行了两次名义小组技术研讨会,以确定初级保健中PTSD护理的主要障碍,并制定改进应用程序的解决方案。参与者根据与初级保健的相关性对功能进行排名和优先级排序。结果:26名参与者参加了研讨会,代表了不同的利益相关者。确定的主要障碍包括耻辱感、临床医生时间限制以及获得创伤治疗的机会有限。解决方案包括改进症状跟踪、增强定制功能和提高临床医生的认识。结论:该研究突出了PTSD Hub应用程序在改善和支持初级保健中PTSD管理方面的潜力。未来的研究应该评估应用程序在现实世界初级保健环境中的有效性。患者和公众的贡献:患者和公众成员在整个研究过程中积极参与,采用合作生产的方式。一个由六名PTSD患者组成的生活经验咨询小组在所有阶段提供意见,包括塑造研究设计,审查参与者材料,以及为研讨会的促进提供建议。此外,26名参与者,包括有创伤后应激障碍生活经验的个人,非正式护理人员和医疗保健专业人员,参加了两个名义团体技术研讨会。生活经验研究伙伴(NC)是研究团队不可或缺的一部分,参加所有团队会议,共同主持研讨会,并为设计,分析和手稿准备做出贡献。

Background

There is a great deal of variation in the design and delivery of the peer health navigator role, making it difficult to adapt role responsibilities into context. In this study, we aimed to co-design a bicultural peer health navigator (BPHN) role to meet the needs of culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) people from Pacific Islander, Māori and Arabic-speaking backgrounds.

Methods

A two-phase co-design approach involving workshops with follow-up member checking via interview was used to gain insight into factors affecting patient interaction and access barriers to health services.

Results

Barriers described by participants emerged under five major themes—overcoming language barriers, improving communication, navigation and access to information, appointment reminders, and health and social services education in the community.

Conclusion

Clear tasks for the BPHN role were identified by the participants to improve accessibility and usage of healthcare services. Future work should involve feasibility testing with the support and involvement of community members, BPHNs and their supervisors and importantly health service leaders.

Patient or Public Contribution

Four of the authors were employed as bicultural peer health navigators (BPHNs) who engaged their communities to organise and conduct these workshops in their preferred language. This approach enabled an inclusive environment for the participants to share their thoughts and experiences. The proposed roles for a BPHN were generated from the workshop discussions. The BPHNs conducted the semi-structured verification interviews with the workshop participants. The thematic analysis was conducted by two of the BPHNs, with one being the primary author.

背景:同伴健康导航员角色的设计和交付存在很大差异,使得角色职责难以适应环境。在本研究中,我们旨在共同设计一个双文化同伴健康导航员(BPHN)角色,以满足来自太平洋岛民、Māori和阿拉伯语背景的文化和语言多样性(CALD)人群的需求。方法:采用两阶段的共同设计方法,包括研讨会和随访成员通过访谈进行检查,以深入了解影响患者互动和获得卫生服务障碍的因素。结果:参与者描述的障碍出现在五个主要主题下:克服语言障碍、改善沟通、导航和获取信息、预约提醒以及社区卫生和社会服务教育。结论:参与者确定了BPHN角色的明确任务,以改善医疗保健服务的可及性和使用率。今后的工作应包括在社区成员、bphn及其主管以及重要的保健服务领导的支持和参与下进行可行性测试。患者或公众贡献:四名作者被聘为双文化同伴健康导航员(bphn),他们让他们的社区用他们喜欢的语言组织和举办这些讲习班。这种方法为参与者提供了一个包容的环境来分享他们的想法和经验。BPHN的建议角色是从研讨会讨论中产生的。bphn对讲习班参与者进行了半结构化的验证访谈。专题分析是由两个bphn进行的,其中一个是主要作者。

背景:在英国,父母在接受儿童和青少年心理健康服务(CAMHS)的预约之前,要为他们的孩子评估注意力缺陷/多动障碍(ADHD),但很少有关于父母如何经历这一时期的文章。通过定性访谈,我们试图了解从被接受进入服务候补名单到接受诊断评估的等待时间如何影响父母和他们的孩子。方法:采用大型随机对照试验。我们对41位5-11岁儿童的家长进行了半结构化访谈。30%的父母在CAMHS的等待名单上等待了18到24个月,10%的人等待了2年以上。数据分析采用自反性专题分析。结果:在访谈时,约50%的儿童仍在等待初步评估。出现了六个主题,反映了家长对评估过程的不确定性、服务机构缺乏沟通、接受诊断的重要性、难以获得支持、等待对心理健康和教育的负面影响,以及改善服务机构与家庭之间沟通的建议。结论:家长认识到服务机构提供及时支持的压力;然而,他们的福祉可以通过更明确的等待时间,以及更有效的路标和有关评估过程的服务支持而大大改善。这可能有助于减轻与孩子的评估过程相关的一些压力因素,例如对孩子的困难负责和支持他们的教育需求的负担。患者和公众贡献:该研究嵌套在OPTIMA试验中,PPI小组成员在研究的各个方面提供持续支持,包括参与者沟通、研究设计和数据分析方面的建议。所有PPI成员都有过神经分化儿童的生活经历。在本研究中,PPI共同制作了访谈时间表,并使用主题框架方法参与了文本分析。为了表彰他们的贡献,PPI小组的成员被列为共同作者。

Background

Older adults with multimorbidity often experience fragmented transitional care between the hospital, primary care, and municipal services. Insufficient communication and limited user involvement can compromise safety, satisfaction, and continuity. To address these challenges, a structured cross-sectoral intervention, the Virtual 4-Party Meeting (V4M), was developed to enhance patient and family involvement in discharge planning.

Aim

To explore how older adults with multimorbidity and their relatives experienced involvement in transitional care through V4M.

Methods

A qualitative hermeneutic design was applied. Eleven patients ( + 65 years) and their relatives participated in semi-structured interviews immediately after V4M and again 14 days post-discharge. Data were analyzed using Braun and Clarke's reflexive thematic analysis within a Gadamerian hermeneutic framework.

Results

Three themes emerged: (1) Bridges between Systems. V4M reduced fragmentation and improved coordination through shared dialog; (2) A Relational Space of Alignment, the meetings created emotional safety and supported patient autonomy and relational understanding; and (3) Involvement and Responsibility are deeply interconnected. Meaningful involvement occurred when accountability was shared between patients, relatives, and professionals.

Conclusion

V4M provided an effective model for integrating user involvement into transitional care by combining structural coordination with relational engagement. Patients and relatives felt acknowledged, informed, and reassured when professionals gained a clearer sense of shared responsibility. The study highlights that genuine user involvement depends on both emotional recognition and concrete accountability mechanisms across sectors.

Patient or Public Contribution

Older adults with multimorbidity and their relatives contributed to the development of the V4M intervention. In this study, patients and relatives participated as interviewees but were not involved in data analysis or manuscript preparation.

背景:患有多种疾病的老年人通常在医院、初级保健和市政服务之间经历零散的过渡护理。不充分的沟通和有限的用户参与会损害安全性、满意度和连续性。为了应对这些挑战,开发了一种结构化的跨部门干预,即虚拟四方会议(V4M),以加强患者和家庭对出院计划的参与。目的:探讨多病老年人及其亲属通过V4M参与过渡性照护的情况。方法:采用定性解释学设计。11例患者(65岁以上)及其家属在V4M术后立即和出院后14天再次参加了半结构化访谈。数据分析采用了Braun和Clarke在伽达美尔解释学框架内的反身性主题分析。结果:出现了三个主题:(1)系统之间的桥梁。V4M通过共享对话减少了碎片,提高了协调性;(2)关系空间的一致性,会议创造了情感安全,支持患者自主和关系理解;(3)参与和责任是紧密相连的。当病人、家属和专业人员共同承担责任时,就会产生有意义的参与。结论:V4M通过结构协调与关系参与相结合,为过渡性护理整合用户介入提供了有效的模型。当专业人员获得更清晰的共同责任意识时,患者和家属感到被认可、知情和放心。该研究强调,真正的用户参与取决于跨部门的情感认可和具体问责机制。患者或公众贡献:患有多种疾病的老年人及其亲属为V4M干预的发展做出了贡献。在本研究中,患者和亲属作为访谈对象参与,但不参与数据分析和稿件准备。

A reflexive thematic analysis was performed on the participants' experiences of current mental health services and on their reflections on a vignette describing an integrative, recovery-oriented care and support model—FACT.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Results&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;The analysis resulted in three themes. The first theme, ‘Losing value and credibility as a person when becoming a service user’, reflected participants' experiences of being reduced to the signs and symptoms of their mental health problems. The second theme, ‘Navigating through the mental health maze’, describes participants view on the current mental health services, while the last theme, ‘Involving service users in their care and support would be empowering’, holds participants' views on the importance of greater involvement in future service design and delivery.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Conclusions&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;These results underscore the necessity for enhanced collaboration to empower and provide inclusive, tailored care and support, which the participants emphasised as essential for the future of mental health services.

Introduction

Despite academic and clinical interest in digital suicide prevention tools (‘digital tools’), challenges persist related to their integration into existing care pathways. The objective of this study was to understand how young people and professionals use and perceive digital tools for the management of suicidal thoughts and/or self-harming behaviours.

Methods

This qualitative study involved interviews with young people aged 18–25 with lived experience of suicidal thoughts and/or self-harming behaviours (n = 8), and with clinical or research expertise in youth suicide and digital interventions (n = 9). Interview transcripts were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis.

Results

The analysis generated three main themes: (1) bridging the gaps in support, (2) user experience while navigating suicidal thoughts or crisis, and (3) digital tool implementation: expectation versus reality. Further, sub-themes were: (i) unique suicide prevention opportunities inherent to digital tools, (ii) complexity of digital risk management, (iii) privacy considerations around a stigmatised topic, and (iv) (perceived) low uptake by young people.

Conclusion

Digital tools that are user-friendly, adaptable, and personalised may enable tailored and timely support for the prevention and management of suicide and self-harm. Nonetheless, poor user experience, organisational buy-in, and difficulties managing suicide risk data outside clinical environments pose challenges to effective implementation, scale-up, and sustained engagement. Participatory methods, such as co-design, may help address these issues.

Patient or Public Contribution

Young people with lived experience of suicidal thoughts and/or self-harming behaviours, and who had used digital tools for suicide prevention purposes, were participants in this study. Study processes were reviewed by Orygen's Youth Research Council prior to study commencement.

导读:尽管学术和临床对数字自杀预防工具(“数字工具”)感兴趣,但与它们融入现有护理途径相关的挑战仍然存在。本研究的目的是了解年轻人和专业人士如何使用和感知数字工具来管理自杀念头和/或自我伤害行为。方法:本定性研究包括对18-25岁有自杀想法和/或自残行为经历的年轻人(n = 8)以及在青少年自杀和数字干预方面具有临床或研究专业知识的年轻人(n = 9)进行访谈。访谈记录使用反身性主题分析进行分析。结果:分析产生了三个主要主题:(1)弥合支持差距;(2)在处理自杀念头或危机时的用户体验;(3)数字工具实施:期望与现实。此外,子主题是:(i)数字工具固有的独特自杀预防机会,(ii)数字风险管理的复杂性,(iii)围绕污名化话题的隐私考虑,以及(iv)(感知)年轻人的低接受度。结论:用户友好、适应性强和个性化的数字工具可以为预防和管理自杀和自我伤害提供量身定制和及时的支持。然而,糟糕的用户体验、组织支持以及在临床环境之外管理自杀风险数据的困难,对有效实施、扩大规模和持续参与构成了挑战。共同设计等参与性方法可能有助于解决这些问题。患者或公众贡献:本研究的参与者是有过自杀念头和/或自残行为的年轻人,他们使用数字工具来预防自杀。在研究开始之前,研究过程由Orygen青年研究委员会审查。
