Abstract

This meta-analysis investigated the efficacy of e-mental health (EMH) interventions in inpatient settings. 26 randomized controlled trials (RCTs; n=6112) with low or medium risk of bias were included. A small but significant total effect of EMH treatment was found (g = 0.3), significant for both blended interventions (g = 0.42) and post-treatment EMH-based aftercare (g = 0.29). EMH treatment showed significant effects across different patient groups and therapy types, remaining stable post-treatment. The small number of studies limits the meta-analysis.
