What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The demand for video consultation (VC) in clinical practice.

    The demand for VC is evaluated by the percentage of included participants who chose to be in the VC group and the actual use of VC consultation sessions during the study period, including the number of missed appointments and the number of times VC sessions have been converted to telephone or in-person (IP) consultations.

    Measured: One year

  2. Patients' therapeutic alliance, assessed by working alliance inventory- client version (WAI-C)

    Therapeutic alliance is evaluated with the mean change scores in the WAI-C questionnaire at baseline and posttreatment. Score ranging: from 12 to 84. Higher scores indicate a higher therapeutic alliance

    Measured: Two months.

  3. Patients' satisfaction, assessed by client satisfaction questionnaire 8 (CSQ-8)

    Satisfaction is evaluated with the mean change scores in the CSQ-8 questionnaire at baseline and posttreatment. Score ranging: from 8 to 32. Higher scores indicate a higher satisfaction

    Measured: Two months.

  4. Patients' Symptom level, assessed by Symptom Checklist -10 (SCL-10)

    Symptom level is evaluated with the mean change scores in the SCL-10 questionnaire at baseline and posttreatment. Score ranging: from 0 to 100. Lower score indicates lower psychological distress

    Measured: Two months.

  5. Patients' well-being, assessed by World Health Organisation- Five Well-Being Index (WHO-5)

    Well-being level is evaluated with the mean change scores in the WHO-5 questionnaire at baseline and posttreatment. Score ranging: from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate higher well-being

    Measured: Two months.

  6. Patients' function, assessed by Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS)

    Functional impairment is evaluated with the mean change scores in the SDS questionnaire at baseline and posttreatment. Score ranging: from 0 to 30. lower scores indicate lower functional impairment

    Measured: Two months.

  7. Patient recovery, assessed by INSPIRE

    Patient recovery is evaluated with the mean change scores in the INSPIRE questionnaire at baseline and posttreatment. Score ranging: from 0 to 100. A higher score indicates higher recovery

    Measured: Two months.

  8. The implementation and integration of VC in clinical practice, as assessed by a checklist developed for the case managers (CM).

    The following properties are used to evaluate the implementation and integration properties:

    1. type of technology patients use for VC sessions (Smartphone/tablet or personal computer/laptop)
    2. patients' physical location during VC session (Home or outdoor)
    3. the VC sessions confidentiality (Alone or with other persons)
    4. duration of VC session
    5. the content of the VC sessions (supportive, therapy, medication management, crisis/acute or "mix" content)

    Descriptive statistics will be applied to evaluate the implementation and integration properties.

    Measured: One year

  9. Patients' experiences regarding the use of VC

    Semistructured interviews have been conducted to evaluate participants' experience regarding the use of VC technology in clinical practice.

    Measured: Two months
