背景：基本健康（TMH）的增长是由卫生服务系统的最新趋势和获得精神卫生服务的不平等所驱动的。目前还没有标准的教育指南，以准备精神心理健康高级实践护士（PMH-APRN）在TMH交付。目的：调查美国各地的PMH-APRNs对TMH使用的经验和态度。设计：来自美国精神科护士协会在线讨论板的83名参与者完成了9项调查。问题包括：作为PMH-APRN练习的时间长度，TMH在实践中的使用，服务的人群和TMH背景。研究结果：大多数人作为PMH-APRN执业不到十年，并使用TMH，尽管大多数人报告说以前没有接受过这种交付方法的教育或培训。参与者确实表示了对TMH教育的渴望。结论：这项调查肯定了TMH使用PMH-APRN供应商，缺乏正式的培训，TMH提供标准化的教育指导方针的必要性。
BACKGROUND: Telemental health (TMH) growth is driven by recent trends in health delivery systems and disparities in access to mental health services. There are currently no standard educational guidelines to prepare psychiatric mental health advanced practice nurses (PMH-APRNs) in TMH delivery. OBJECTIVE: To survey practicing PMH-APRNs across the United States about their experiences and attitudes about use of TMH. DESIGN: Eighty-three participants from the American Psychiatric Nurses Association online discussion board completed a nine-item survey. QUESTIONS INCLUDED: Length of time practicing as a PMH-APRN, TMH use in practice, populations served, and TMH background. RESULTS: A majority had been practicing as a PMH-APRN for less than a decade and had used TMH, although most reported no prior education or training in this delivery method. Participants did indicate a desire for TMH education. CONCLUSION: This survey affirms the prevalence of TMH use among PMH-APRN providers, lack of formal training, and necessity for standardized educational guidelines in TMH delivery.
