Group Anticipated benefits for patients, mean (SD) Acceptabilitya, mean (SD) Intent-to-adopt criteriona Participants’ statements (exemplary quotes from focus group or interview)
Supporter 1.28 (0.67) 1.28 (0.57) 1
  • Supporter #1: “Yes, if I have the possibility, to provide short-term video consultations for the patient at least for an initial therapy so that the patient does not have to wait endlessly until I can make an appointment with a suitable psychotherapist.”

  • Supporter #3: “You have to see it like this: I would also benefit from it [the model], because it would help my patients.”

  • Supporter #5: “I deal with hundreds of different diseases, which take up a lot of my time. But here I can get help that would also give me some relief.

Nonsupporter 3.46 (0.57) 3.61 (0.49) 4
  • Nonsupporter: “It also depends a bit on the overall attitude. I am a more reserved type with these things, as you’ve already noticed. Others, who might start from the scratch, will be more interested.”

  • Nonsupporter: “Let's put it this way: I think it's legitimate to try to use resources in a way that it is beneficial to most people. But I just don't think it's reasonable to shift patients in need from one provider to another.”

  • Nonsupporter: “With patients being in an acute crisis, I am not sure if the video consultation works if they haven’t had experience with this setting before.”

aLower values indicate higher anticipated benefits, higher acceptability, and higher intent to adopt, respectively.
