Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to implement and evaluate a technological intervention called CONEMO to treat depressive symptoms, anxiety, and insomnia in adults who use primary health care services. The effectiveness of this intervention has already been proven in previous research, specifically for depressive symptoms. Implementation will occur in 28 basic health units in the municipalities of Indiatuba and Jaguariúna in the interior of São Paulo.

All eligible residents of the cities will be invited to participate.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A type III hybrid implementation and effectiveness study, with a mixed-method explanatory sequential design consisting of two distinct stages: the first quantitative, followed by qualitative. The method is indicated when the researcher wishes to use qualitative data to help interpret and explain the initial quantitative findings and deepen them. The elements of both methods are analyzed separately and then merged, looking for convergences, divergences, contradictions, or relationships between the two databases.

The qualitative data will help to interpret, explain and deepen the quantitative findings. The guidelines of the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research (COREQ) will be followed, a 32-item instrument that guides the conduct of the interview and analysis of qualitative data, also validated in Portuguese in Brazil.

Study site The study will be carried out in 28 Basic Health Units (UBS) in two municipalities in the interior of São Paulo, Indaiatuba and Jaguariúna, located approximately 100 km from the capital São Paulo, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil.

Study population - stakeholder groups Patients/service users - user category Our study population will be made up of adult individuals (18 years or older) who live in the municipality of Indaiatuba or Jaguariúna and attend the UBS and who show significant symptoms of depression, anxiety or insomnia.

Health professionals, service managers and local managers - professional categories Adults (18 years or older) from the groups of interest will also participate in the study: health professionals from the UBS in the municipalities of Jaguariúna and Indaiatuba, service managers, health department managers, or primary care and mental health coordinators. We consider these individuals to be the main stakeholders, in addition to the users and main participants in the research, in the unfolding of the CONEMO intervention implementation study.

Study population

User participants - quantitative study:

All individuals screened at the cities' UBSs with positive symptoms for insomnia, anxiety or depression.

Participants - users, health professionals and managers - barriers and facilitators - qualitative study The focus groups in this study will be divided into categories of participants selected from each UBS involved. The categories of participation will be users, technical health professionals, senior health professionals and the manager of each participating unit. Simple randomization will be carried out to select one participant from each category among users and health professionals. With regard to managers, the invitation will be extended to all managers of the participating health units. These focus groups will be conducted separately for each category of participants at the end of three months from the start of the study. It is important to note that the users included in the focus groups may be at different stages of using the application. Specific guiding scripts will be used to collect the qualitative data, which will be drawn up after analyzing the quantitative data.

Research Steering Committee - CGP This committee plays a crucial role in monitoring and evaluating the outcomes of the implementation of interventions and policies. Composed of a multidisciplinary team, including academic researchers, local managers, and service workers, the committee facilitates the active participation of all stakeholders in the research process. Its main objective is to ensure that contextual elements are taken into account and that real conditions are understood and worked on. The committee meets regularly to discuss the research progress, evaluate the strategies' implementation and provide constructive feedback. This participatory and collaborative approach helps to identify and overcome possible challenges in implementation, thus promoting the effectiveness and sustainability of the mental health policies implemented. The CGP will also include users of municipal health services.
