An integrated mental health video consultations model for patients with somatic symptom disorder in primary care: The randomized VISION pilot trial.

Objective: Symptoms of somatic symptom disorder (SSD) are one of the most common reasons for consultations in primary care. However, specialized psychological services are mostly unavailable. This pilot trial aimed to determine the feasibility, acceptability, and safety of the integrated mental health video consultations VISION model for patients with SSD in primary care.

[Integrated Care for Patients with Somatic Symptom Disorder in Primary Care - A Qualitative Participatory Evaluation of a Randomised Feasibility Trial].

Objective: The VISION intervention is a manualized short-term treatment for people with somatic symptom disorder, integrated into the primary care and delivered by psychotherapists via video consultations. As an innovative technology-based approach, the intervention was most recently piloted in a randomized feasibility trial. During the qualitative accompanying study presented here, the intervention was evaluated and optimised from the user perspective of patients who participated in the feasibility study.
