Development of the eTAP-T: A measure of mental health professionals' attitudes and process towards e-interventions.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe development of technological applications within psychotherapy has opened up new opportunities for mental health professionals (MHPs) to address client need. Despite the clinical efficacy and utility of evidence-based electronic interventions, MHPs' engagement with these interventions remains poorly understood.
objectiveThe aim of the current study was to develop and conduct a preliminary psychometric investigation of the measurement properties of the electronic-therapy attitudes and process questionnaire - therapist version (eTAP-T). Based upon the theory of planned behaviour (TPB), the eTAP-T measures factors related to MHPs' engagement with e-interventions for clients' mental health concerns.
methodsParticipants were 222 practicing MHPs who reported being in direct contact with clients. Participants completed the eTAP-T and related measures with a subsample of 40 participants completing a two-week follow up questionnaire.
resultsExploratory factor analysis with item reduction resulted in a 12-item eTAP-T, with four factors accounting for 82% of variance. The four factors (subjective norms, perceived behavioural control, attitudes and intentions) were consistent with the four TPB domains. The eTAP-T demonstrated satisfactory validity and reliability as per the consensus-based standards for the selection of health measurement instruments.
conclusionsThe development and preliminary psychometric investigation supported the validity and reliability of the eTAP-T. Further research is required for confirmatory analyses. The eTAP-T may be useful in identifying the training needs of MHPs and evaluating training programs. Specific areas for intervention, such as attitudes or perceived credibility may be identified and targetted, with the measure then also used to evaluate change across these domains. It is anticipated that the eTAP-T may useful tool in improving uptake of digital interventions by MHPs.
