Trust and confidence of clinical staff and patients is crucial for the successful introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) in mental healthcare

Por: Barrera · A.

Commentary on: Higgins O, Short BL, Chalup SK, et al. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) based decision support systems in mental health: an integrative review. Int J Ment Health Nurs 2023 [Epub ahead of print 6 Feb 2023]. doi: 10.1111/inm.13114.

Implications for practice and research

  • The introduction of artificial intelligence (AI)-based decision support systems (DSS) in mental healthcare is at a very early stage.

  • For DSS to be relevant and cost-effective, clinicians must participate at all stages of development, from project specification to evaluation.

  • Context

    This integrative review1 investigates the evidence for incorporating AI-based DSS in mental healthcare as a partial solution to an escalating care demand which can lead to staff’s burnout and potentially unfinished or missed care. Rightly, the authors of this review mention wider systemic problems such as under-resourcing and staff shortages. A DSS is an information...

    Extreme temperatures are associated with increased cardiovascular mortality

Associations Between Extreme Temperatures and Cardiovascular Cause-Specific Mortality: Results From 27 Countries. Circulation. 2023 Jan 3;147(1):35-46. doi: 10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.122.061832. Epub 2022 Dec 12.

    Implications for practice and research

  • Nurses need to be aware that extreme temperatures—whether hot or cold—increase the likelihood of death from cardiovascular causes.

  • Induction, deduction and abduction

    Por: Barrett · D. · Younas · A.

    Researchers often refer to the type of ‘reasoning’ that they have used to support their analysis and reach conclusions within their study. For example, Krick and colleagues completed a study that supported the development of an outcome framework for measuring the effectiveness of digital nursing technologies.1 They reported completing the analysis through combining ‘an inductive and deductive approach’ (p1), but what do these terms mean? How can these methods of reasoning support nursing practice, and guide the development and appraisal of research evidence?

    This article will explore inductive and deductive reasoning and their place in nursing research. We will also explore a third approach to reasoning—abductive reasoning—which is arguably less well-known than induction and deduction, but just as prevalent and important in nursing practice and nursing research.

    Inductive reasoning

    Induction, or inductive reasoning, involves the identification of cues and the collection of data to develop general...

    Statutory mental health services in the UK do not meet the needs of people from ethnic minority groups

    Por: Barreto · M.

    Commentary on: Bansal N, Karlsen S, Sashidharan SP, Cohen R, Chew-Graham CA, Malpass A. Understanding ethnic inequalities in mental healthcare in the UK: A meta-ethnography. PLoS Med. 2022 Dec 13;1912:e1004139. doi: 10.1371/journal.pmed.1004139.

    Implications for practice and research

  • Mental health service providers need to listen to the voices of ethnic minorities to offer services that align with their needs and experiences and reduce mental health disparities.

  • Research should evaluate the effectiveness of alternative approaches to, and co-production of, biomedical mental healthcare for specific ethnic minority groups.

  • Context

    Mental health disparities are well documented in the UK, despite free access to healthcare. Individuals from minoritised ethnic groups are more likely than white British individuals to: suffer from undiagnosed and untreated mental illness; access healthcare via crisis pathways (and less likely to access via primary care); and receive a diagnosis of severe mental illness. This is costly...
