Abstract:
Teledermatology has become very popular, and not only due to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Patients with occupational skin diseases (OSDs) could also benefit from teledermatology services as part of their follow-up care, but the opportunities and challenges for patients and dermatologists, especially regarding quality and satisfaction, need exploration. In this single-center feasibility study, 215 patients taking part in a tertiary prevention program for OSD were invited to participate. After obtaining consent, a follow-up video consultation appointment with the center\'s dermatologists was made. Quality and satisfaction with the consultations were evaluated by fully standardized online questionnaires filled in by the patients and dermatologists. A total of 68 teledermatological follow-up consultations were conducted by 10 dermatologists on 42 patients. Half of the dermatologists (50.0%) and 87.6% of the patients were satisfied with the video consultations. However, the lack of physical examination seems to be a problem, especially from the physicians\' point of view (75.8%). A total of 66.1% of the dermatologists and 87.5% of the patients saw video consultations as useful supplements to face-to-face consultations. The results of our feasibility study indicate general satisfaction of patients and physicians with teledermatological sessions in occupational dermatology, especially as a useful supplement to face-to-face consultation.
摘要:
远程皮肤病学已经变得非常流行,不仅仅是由于SARS-CoV-2大流行。职业性皮肤病(OSD)患者也可以从远程皮肤科服务中受益,作为其后续护理的一部分,但是对于患者和皮肤科医生来说,机遇和挑战,特别是关于质量和满意度,需要探索。在这个单中心可行性研究中,215名参加OSD三级预防计划的患者被邀请参加。获得同意后,与该中心的皮肤科医生进行了后续视频咨询预约。通过患者和皮肤科医生填写的完全标准化的在线问卷来评估咨询的质量和满意度。10名皮肤科医生对42例患者进行了68次远程皮肤科随访咨询。一半的皮肤科医生(50.0%)和87.6%的患者对视频咨询感到满意。然而,缺乏体检似乎是一个问题,特别是从医生的角度来看(75.8%)。共有66.1%的皮肤科医生和87.5%的患者将视频咨询视为面对面咨询的有用补充。我们的可行性研究结果表明,患者和医生对职业皮肤病学的远程皮肤病学会议的总体满意度,特别是作为面对面咨询的有益补充。
