BACKGROUND
The high and increasing prevalence of internet use in the general population and the significant burden of depression and schizophrenia urge us to investigate the patterns of internet use among patients with these illnesses. The aim of this study is to assess internet use and mental health-related internet use among patients suffering from schizophrenia and depression.
METHODS
A total of 104 patients with psychosis and 105 patients with depression were surveyed to assess their internet use and mental health-related internet use.
RESULTS
The majority of participants were internet users (87.6%), with 66.7% of internet users with psychosis and 71.4% of internet users with depression using it as a source of information on mental health. Participants with psychosis significantly more attributed the internet and mental health internet forums as helpful in coping with their mental illness and were more interested in the utilization of online mental health services than participants with depression.
CONCLUSIONS
General internet use in patients with schizophrenia and depression corresponds with the internet use of the general population; however, they use it more often as a source of health information than the general population. Mental health service providers should offer more online interventions and treatment programs to patients with psychosis and depression, as our study suggests there is an unmet need for online mental health services for such patients.
背景
互联网在普通人群中的使用日益普及，且抑郁症和精神分裂症的发病率也居高不下，这促使我们研究此类患者的互联网使用模式。本研究旨在评估精神分裂症和抑郁症患者的互联网使用情况和与心理健康相关的互联网使用情况。
方法
共调查了 104 例精神病患者和 105 例抑郁症患者，以评估他们的互联网使用情况和与心理健康相关的互联网使用情况。
结果
大多数参与者是互联网用户（87.6%），其中 66.7%的精神病患者和 71.4%的抑郁症患者将互联网作为获取心理健康信息的来源。与抑郁症患者相比，精神病患者认为互联网和心理健康互联网论坛更有助于应对他们的精神疾病，并且对使用在线心理健康服务更感兴趣。
结论
精神分裂症和抑郁症患者的一般互联网使用与普通人群的互联网使用情况相符；然而，他们比普通人群更经常将其用作健康信息的来源。精神健康服务提供者应为精神病和抑郁症患者提供更多的在线干预和治疗计划，因为我们的研究表明，此类患者对在线心理健康服务有未得到满足的需求。
