Abstract For more than a decade, Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) has been training a new workforce of psychological therapists. Despite evidence of stress and burnout both in trainee mental health professionals, and qualified IAPT clinicians, little is known about these topics in IAPT trainees. Consequently, this systematic review sought to establish the current state of the literature regarding stress and burnout in IAPT trainees. Electronic databases were searched to identify all published and available unpublished work relating to the topic. On the basis of pre-established eligibility criteria, eight studies (including six unpublished doctoral theses) were identified and assessed for quality. This review identifies that research into the experience of IAPT trainees is under-developed. Existing evidence tentatively suggests that IAPT trainees may experience levels of stress and burnout that are higher than their qualified peers and among the higher end of healthcare professionals more generally. The experience of fulfilling dual roles as mental health professionals and university students concurrently appears to be a significant source of stress for IAPT trainees. More research regarding the levels and sources of stress and burnout in IAPT trainees is urgently needed to confirm and extend these findings. Recommendations for future research in the area are given. Key learning aims (1) To establish the current state of the literature regarding stress and burnout in IAPT trainees. (2) To raise practitioner, service and education-provider awareness regarding the levels and perceived sources of stress and burnout in IAPT trainees. (3) To make recommendations regarding future research on the topic.

BACKGROUND Increasing number of mobile applications (apps) have been released to the market to address mental health needs; however, their quality varies. Mental health professionals have been advocating to set up regulating policies or rating guidelines to facilitate users to make informed choice. OBJECTIVE The study aims to map out the landscape and ecosystem of existing regulating policies and rating guidelines concerning mental health apps, streamline core rating criteria, and identify what knowledge and policy gaps exist. METHODS A systematic review was conducted on both English and Chinese literature. Not only academic publication databases but also popular search engines were searched to identify relevant policies or guidelines. Eligible publications were analyzed to identify key stakeholders in the ecosystem of regulating and rating mental health apps, and common approaches and criteria of the regulating or rating. What limitations exist and what improvement should be achieved in order to make good use of mental health apps were then discussed. RESULTS 56 articles were found to meet our inclusion criteria, covering 31 sets of regulating policies, rating protocols, or specific recommendations. Key stakeholders include app developers, governments, app stores, mental health professionals, and individual users. Only very few countries have released specific regulation policies for mental health apps, whereas app stores were almost absent on this matter. Mental health professionals have been advocating to set up rating guidelines but they did not always engage app developers or ordinary users. Regulation approach is to extend existing regulations on medical devices to mental health apps that self-claim for medical use. Quality rating approach is using either a checklist or a scoring scheme to rate mental health apps’ compliance with some criteria. Specific criteria include privacy and data protection, protecting user safety and minimize risks, evidence-based, usability and front-end accessibility, system interoperability, technical stability, cost, and information timeliness. CONCLUSIONS Only very few jurisdictions and professional organizations in the world have released regulating policies or rating guidelines on mental health apps, which can serve as a basis for other policymakers and professional organizations to adapt. The current regulating policies are rather vague with their applicable scope, whereas the current rating guidelines have relatively high requirement with raters’ capability. Future development needs to address the two major limitations. CLINICALTRIAL Nil.

AbstractThis study aimed to estimate the level of burnout in mental health professionals and to identify specific determinants of burnout in this population. A systematic search of MEDLINE/PubMed, PsychINFO/Ovid, Embase, CINAHL/EBSCO and Web of Science was conducted for original research published between 1997 and 2017. Sixty-two studies were identified as meeting the study criteria for the systematic review. Data on the means, standard deviations, and prevalence of the dimensions of burnout were extracted from 33 studies and included in the meta-analysis (n = 9409). The overall estimated pooled prevalence for emotional exhaustion was 40% (CI 31%–48%) for depersonalisation was 22% (CI 15%–29%) and for low levels of personal accomplishment was 19% (CI 13%–25%). The random effects estimate of the mean scores on the Maslach Burnout Inventory indicate that the average mental health professional has high levels of emotional exhaustion [mean 21.11 (95% CI 19.98, 22.24)], moderate levels of depersonalisation [mean 6.76 (95% CI 6.11, 7.42)] but retains reasonable levels of personal accomplishment [mean 34.60 (95% CI 32.99, 36.21)]. Increasing age was found to be associated with an increased risk of depersonalisation but also a heightened sense of personal accomplishment. Work-related factors such as workload and relationships at work, are key determinants for burnout, while role clarity, a sense of professional autonomy, a sense of being fairly treated, and access to regular clinical supervision appear to be protective. Staff working in community mental health teams may be more vulnerable to burnout than those working in some specialist community teams, e.g., assertive outreach, crisis teams.
