Investigating Telehealth Psychological Support

本项目旨在调查从事长期心理支持的从业者和LGBTIQ+患者如何体验远程医疗，并在这种支持的体验中导航护理的连续性。该项目预计将产生新的知识，以支持向处境不利和脆弱群体提供远程保健支助方面的最佳做法。预期的结果将是加强对从业人员和患者如何通过远程保健和医疗提供者的实践就绪资源获得连续性护理和心理支持的理解。这将带来重大好处，例如扩大澳大利亚精神保健的可及性、改善服务提供、可用性和有效性。

This project aims to investigate how practitioners and LGBTIQ+ patients engaged in long term psychological support experience telehealth and navigate continuity of care in their experience of this support. This project expects to generate new knowledge to support the provision of best practice in telehealth support for disadvantaged and vulnerable groups. Expected outcomes will be enhanced understanding of how practitioners and patients navigate continuity of care and psychological support via telehealth and practice-ready resources for medical providers. This should provide significant benefits such as expanded accessibility, improved service delivery, usability and effectiveness in mental healthcare in Australia.
