Abstract

This study examined barriers to mental health service use and the demographic, medical and psychosocial correlates of these barriers among hematopoietic SCT (HSCT) survivors. A sample of 253 HSCT survivors who were 1 to 3 years posttransplant completed measures of demographic, physical, psychological and social characteristics as well as a newly modified measure of barriers to mental health service use. Only 50% of distressed HSCT survivors had received mental health services. An exploratory factor analysis of the barriers to mental health service use scale yielded four factors: scheduling barriers, knowledge barriers, emotional barriers and illness-related barriers. Patients with higher social constraints (perceived problems discussing the illness experience with significant others) reported higher levels of all four types of barriers. General distress and transplant-related posttraumatic stress symptoms were positively associated with emotional, knowledge and illness-related barriers to mental health service use, whereas physical and functional well-being were inversely associated with these barriers. Having more knowledge barriers and more emotional barriers predicted a lower likelihood of receiving mental health services, as did lower levels of education and general distress. Results suggest that a significant number of HSCT survivors may benefit from education about mental health services that is tailored to individual barriers.

  • The online provision of psychological interventions has been shown to overcome barriers to participation for people with chronic health conditions, including inability to travel, scheduling and costs.

    “The online provision of psychological interventions has been shown to overcome barriers to participation for people with chronic health conditions, including inability to travel, scheduling and costs (Kazdin, 2017;Mosher et al., 2010), while also a necessity for adapting to flexible service provision during the Covid-19 pandemic.”

    The Discussion (page unavailable) suggests that Internet-based mental health services may be preferable for transplant survivors with physical limitations or demanding schedules. It does not show that online interventions have overcome participation barriers, or that they reduce costs; its findings are also limited to hematopoietic stem cell transplant survivors rather than people with chronic health conditions generally.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
