Understanding Psychologists’ Usage, Knowledge, and Attitudes Toward Digital Mental Health Solutions for Refugees and Migrants: Exploratory Cross-Sectional Survey in Sweden
While psychologists recognize the potential of digital mental health solutions, significant barriers remain, including limited knowledge and experience with using digital formats for refugees and migrants. Psychologists prefer digital solutions in the native language of refugees and migrants that are implemented at the primary care level. The need for cultural adaptation should be further explored. Addressing psychologists' preferences could facilitate the future integration and implementation of digital formats for refugees and migrants in routine care settings.
