Confronted with a wide range of digital health tools (DHT), professionals and patients need guidance to use these tools correctly and optimize health management. In the fall of 2020, a DHT library developed by Quebec-based company TherAppX was implemented in 22 institutions. The library was designed to enable healthcare professionals to use DHT in clinical care. The purpose of the current study was to assess the feasibility of implementing the library, including user experience, changes in DHT recommendation habits, and factors that helped or hindered the implementation process. A multi-methods design focusing on secondary use of quantitative data collected by TherAppX and semi-structured interviews with users was employed. While the quantitative analyses indicated infrequent use of the library, qualitative analyses highlighted several factors that hindered its implementation, including certain library and user characteristics and the unprecedented context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, the quantitative analyses confirmed interest in DHT and their usefulness during follow-ups. The results revealed a marginally significant pre-post changes in the frequency with which DHT were recommended. This study helped identify areas for improvements and indicates that further evaluation is needed. Future implementations would benefit from ensuring optimal conditions for a successful implementation.

在初级保健中实施心理健康应用程序库：可行性研究

面对种类繁多的数字健康工具（DHT），专业人士和患者需要指导来正确使用这些工具并优化健康管理。 2020 年秋季，魁北克公司 TherAppX 开发的 DHT 库在 22 家机构中实施。该库旨在使医疗保健专业人员能够在临床护理中使用 DHT。当前研究的目的是评估实施该库的可行性，包括用户体验、DHT推荐习惯的变化以及帮助或阻碍实施过程的因素。采用了多方法设计，重点是 TherAppX 收集的定量数据的二次利用和对用户的半结构化访谈。虽然定量分析表明图书馆的使用频率较低，但定性分析强调了阻碍其实施的几个因素，包括某些图书馆和用户特征以及前所未有的 COVID-19 大流行背景。尽管如此，定量分析证实了人们对 DHT 的兴趣及其在随访期间的有用性。结果显示，推荐 DHT 的频率前后发生了轻微的显着变化。这项研究有助于确定需要改进的领域，并表明需要进一步评估。未来的实施将受益于确保成功实施的最佳条件。
