BACKGROUND Online youth mental health services are an expanding approach to meeting service need and can be used as the first step in a stepped-care approach. However, limited evidence exists regarding satisfaction with online services, and there is no standardized service satisfaction measure. OBJECTIVE This study implemented an online youth mental health service satisfaction questionnaire within eheadspace, an online youth mental health service. The aims were to test the questionnaire’s psychometric properties and identify current levels of satisfaction among service users, as well as to identify client and service contact characteristics that affect satisfaction. METHODS Data were collected from 2280 eheadspace clients via an online questionnaire advertised and accessed through the eheadspace service platform between September 2016 and February 2018. Client and service contact characteristics, potential outcomes, and session and service feedback data were collected. RESULTS The service satisfaction questionnaire demonstrated high internal consistency for the overall satisfaction scale (alpha=.95) and its three subscales: session satisfaction, potential outcomes, and service satisfaction. A three-factor model was the best fit to the data, although including a higher order unidimensional construct of overall satisfaction was also a reasonable fit. Overall, young people were very satisfied with eheadspace (mean 3.60, SD 0.83). Service characteristics, but not client characteristics, were significantly associated with satisfaction. Young people were more satisfied with eheadspace when they had greater engagement as evident through receiving esupport rather than briefer service provision, having a longer session and greater interaction with the clinician, and not previously attending a face-to-face headspace center. CONCLUSIONS The online youth mental health service satisfaction questionnaire developed for and implemented in eheadspace showed good psychometric properties. The measure is brief, has good internal consistency, and has a clear factor structure. The measure could be adapted for use in other online youth mental health services. The young people using eheadspace and completing the feedback survey were highly satisfied. Greater engagement with the online service was shown to be associated with greater satisfaction. No specific client demographic groups were shown to be more or less satisfied.

RIASSUNTOScopo – Verificare se il grado di soddisfazione per i servizi offerti dal CSM sia collegato ad alcune caratteristiche (sociodemografiche, cliniche, assistenziali) dell'utenza, concentrando l'attenzione sulle situazioni più “critiche”, al fine di acquisire elementi per i progetti di miglioramento. Disegno – Studio trasversale con rilevazione delle prestazioni fruite e somministrazione di uno strumento di valutazione ai pazienti con almeno un accesso ogni due mesi nel corso del 1998 e in carico al Centro di Salute Mentale. Setting – Il Centro di Salute Mentale (CSM) del Distretto Saragozza-Porto dell'Azienda USL Città di Bologna. Principali misure utilizzate – Dati del sistema informativo relativi alle caratteristiche sociodemografiche, cliniche, assistenziali di ciascun soggetto e Verona Service Satisfaction Scale (VSSS— 32). Risultati – I risultati relativi a 145 soggetti (24% della popolazione) hanno mostrato come su tre dimensioni principali (soddisfazione globale, professionalità, informazione) e quattro sottodimensioni (colloqui, aiuto economico, aiuto domiciliare, farmacoterapie) oltre il 70% degli intervistati si è dichiarata soddisfatta, giudicando sostanzialmente sufficiente il servizio. L'analisi dei punteggi meno elevati, attraverso il confronto con le variabili sociodemografiche, cliniche ed assistenziali, ha evidenziato quattro aree nelle quali, in modo differenziato, vi sono aspetti suscettibili di miglioramento della qualità del servizio: 1) accessibilità dei servizi: gli assistiti meno soddisfatti lamentano costi assistenziali troppo elevati (spese per i farmaci) e mal tollerano la frequentazione ambulatoriale con persone più gravemente disturbate; 2) coinvolgimento dei familiari: il problema è diffusamente avvertito e la critica sembra vertere sulla scarsa incisività degli interventi presso i familiari; 3) colloqui individuali: l'insoddisfazione sembra derivare dalla scarsa incisività dei trattamenti o dalla “dipendenza” dal CSM che un pattern assistenziale complesso può indurre; 4) contributi economici: gli “insoddisfatti” sono prevalentemente assistiti ai quali il CSM eroga aiuti economici diretti, spesso nell'ambito di programmi che comportano un intenso lavoro di collegamento con altre agenzie sociali e sanitarie. Conclusioni – Il grado di soddisfazione si differenzia significativamente in relazione ad alcune caratteristiche sociodemografiche e cliniche degli assistiti e in funzione a tipo e quantità di assistenza prestata, sebbene emergano aspetti apparentemente incoerenti (ad una maggior assistenza pare corrispondere un diminuzione della soddisfazione) che devono forse far ripensare al tipo di risposta assistenziale fornita a certe categorie di assistiti.
