Health Care Professionals' Engagement With Digital Mental Health Interventions in the United Kingdom and China: Mixed Methods Study on Engagement Factors and Design Implications

Burnout among medical staff has gradually increased over time and worsened during COVID-19 [2,3]. More studies have focused on digital mental health interventions (DMHIs) to alleviate HCPs’ stress and burnout, as they offer accessible and cost-effective solutions that circumvent many barriers commonly associated with traditional interventions [4-6].

However, DSPs working with those in the ID/A community reported experiencing lower quality of life and even higher percentages of burnout during the COVID-19 pandemic [6,7]. Evidence suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated already-existing support system weaknesses, resulting in the displacement of DSPs that strained an already short-staffed workforce, increased hours worked by those not displaced, and worsened work-life quality [6,8].
