ABSTRACT

Background:

Workplace cyberbullying harms the psychological, social function of professionals working in an organization and may decrease the productivity and efficiency of the daily-life task. A recent study on trainee doctors across eight different United Kingdom National Health Service trusts found ill-health issues and job dissatisfaction on Workplace cyberbullying victims [1]. This disabling effect is even more noticeable in low-socioeconomic communities within developing countries. In Malaysia, there is a need to create a Personalized Mobile Mental Health Intervention Program for healthcare professionals. These programs should be directed to prevent and decrease psychosocial issues and enhance the coordination among healthcare professionals to solve the health issue of the community.

Objective:

Our main objective will be to study the pre and post effect of a personalized mobile mental health intervention on Workplace cyberbullying in public and private hospitals in Malaysia.

Methods:

A hospital-based Multi-Method Multi-Analytic Evidential Approach is proposed, involving social and psychological health informatics. The project has been sub-divided into three stages with prevalence study, followed by exploratory studies. Phase 2 consists of a quasi-experimental design. Whereas, the development of a prototype and their testing will be proposed in phase 3. Each stage includes the use of quantitative and qualitative methods (mixed-method program) using SPSS, STATA at tool for quantitative research and n-Vivo, atlasti for qualitative science.

Results:

Results of this study will determine the pre and post effectiveness of an integrated Personalized mobile mental health intervention on healthcare professionals. The prototype system platform will develop and be implemented in a public and private hospital. Results from phase 1 will be published in 2021, followed by the implementation of phase 2 in subsequent years.

Conclusions:

This study will provide evidence and guidance regarding the implementation of a personalized mobile mental health intervention on healthcare professionals into routine public and private hospitals to enhance communication and resolve the conflicts. Clinical Trial: Not Applicable
