This study explores the intention of health professionals to use and recommend e-mental health applications and how they think these applications should be integrated in the national health system. Methods: We applied an exploratory sequential mixed-method research design. First, we collect and analyze responses from 131 health professionals in the field of pregnancy and maternal care. Based on these findings, we conduct semi-structured interviews with 16 experts to expand on the initial results. Results: Our study reveals that health professionals would in general intend to recommend and use e-mental health applications. However, their attitude towards e-mental health applications varies with respect to the coverage of the mental health process. Conclusion: The results are of relevance for research and practice. Two scenarios are described that show how health professionals perceive an introduction of e-mental health to be useful. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA-CAI/CH-21-16 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 1.013 2017 HEALTH POLICY & SERVICES 65 / 79 = 0.823 2017 Q4 T3 0.322 2017 Health Policy 2017 Q3 Biomedical Engineering 2017 Q3 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Sprenger, Michaela Mettler, Tobias 4009 680 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
