Abstract：
General Practitioners (GPs) play a key role in the early detection and management of depression and in preventing suicide risk. They are often the first healthcare professionals that people in crisis contact. However, their effectiveness can be limited by several barriers, including the lack of specific training and appropriate tools.The EAAD-Best project aims to fill these gaps through its iFightDepression tool, an online tool designed to support patients, psychologists, psychiatrists, and GPs in managing depression and preventing suicide. This article examines the implementation of the iFightDepression platform in Italy, assessing its impact on the empowerment of GPs in the fight against depression. Through a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the data collected by the project, the \'unmet need\' of GPs\' in Italy regarding their specific training in mental health is highlighted.The response of 2,068 Italian GPs in just 7 months after the start of the iFD project is an expression of GPs\' engagement to work against depression and for suicide risk prevention.
摘要：
全科医生（GP）在抑郁症的早期发现和管理以及预防自杀风险中起着关键作用。他们通常是危机中人们接触的第一批医疗保健专业人员。然而,它们的有效性可能受到几个障碍的限制，包括缺乏具体的培训和适当的工具。EAAD-Best项目旨在通过其iFightDepression工具填补这些空白，一个旨在支持患者的在线工具，心理学家,精神病医生,和全科医生在管理抑郁症和预防自杀方面。本文探讨了iFightDepression平台在意大利的实施，评估其对全科医生在对抗抑郁症中赋权的影响。通过对项目收集的数据进行定性和定量分析,强调了意大利全科医生关于他们在心理健康方面的具体培训的“未满足的需求”。在iFD项目开始后的短短7个月内，2,068名意大利全科医生的反应表明全科医生致力于对抗抑郁症和预防自杀风险。
