The purpose of this study was to estimate and compare the proportions of preferred design features and likely use of e-mental health programs and understand potential barriers to the use of e-mental health programs in working men who were at high risk of a major depressive episode. A cross-sectional survey in 10 provinces in Canada was conducted between March and December 2015 (n = 511). Of the 17 different features assessed, the top three features that were most likely to be used by high-risk men were: "information about improving sleep hygiene" (61.3%), "practice and exercise to help reduce symptoms of stress and depression" (59.5%) and "having access to quality information and resources about work stress issues" (57.8%). E-mental health programs may be a promising strategy for prevention of depression in working men. Development of e-mental health programs should consider men's preferences and perceived barriers to enhance the acceptability of this approach.
本研究的目的是估计和比较电子心理健康项目的首选设计特征比例及可能的使用情况,并了解在有重度抑郁发作高风险的在职男性中使用电子心理健康项目的潜在障碍。2015年3月至12月在加拿大10个省份进行了一项横断面调查(n = 511)。在评估的17种不同特征中,高风险男性最有可能使用的前三项特征是:“改善睡眠卫生的信息”(61.3%)、“帮助减轻压力和抑郁症状的练习和锻炼”(59.5%)以及“获取有关工作压力问题的优质信息和资源”(57.8%)。电子心理健康项目可能是预防在职男性抑郁症的一种有前景的策略。电子心理健康项目的开发应考虑男性的偏好和感知到的障碍,以提高这种方法的可接受性。
