Australian Psychologists Experiences with Digital Mental Health: a Qualitative Investigation.

ABSTRACT: Digital mental health is changing the landscape of service delivery by addressing challenges associated with traditional therapy. However, practitioners' use of these resources remains underexamined. This study explored psychologists' attitudes and experiences with digital mental health intervention. Taking a qualitative exploratory approach via thematic analysis, the study sought to answer the following research questions: (i) How do psychologists perceive digital mental health? and (ii) What is their experience using digital mental health as part of routine practice? Ten practising psychologists participated in online semi-structured interviews (approximately 50 min), with interviews then transcribed verbatim. Interview data were analysed according to the six-phase approach
