尽管在精神病学中使用远程医疗具有事实证明的优势,精神保健专业人员对心灵感应心理表现出根深蒂固的不信任和怀疑,这阻碍了它的广泛应用。本研究调查了以色列精神卫生专业人员对心灵感应的态度,并试图揭示经验和组织隶属关系对其采用的影响。该方法包括对以色列精神卫生专业人员进行的27次深入访谈的定性和主题分析,围绕三大主题——临床质量,经济效率,以及对医疗保健专业人员工作与生活平衡的影响。人们发现,在心灵感应的不同方面及其对精神保健服务的适用性方面,精神卫生专业人员的态度大相径庭,并截然不同。然而,人们普遍认为,远程医疗可能无法履行其作为解决现代公共医学问题的灵丹妙药的承诺。此外,态度与等级地位有关,组织隶属关系,和心灵感应的个人经历。具体来说,组织隶属关系影响了心灵感应同化的经验和支持。该研究还揭示了组织领导和文化在促进或抑制现代医学创新技术和服务的扩散和采用方面的作用。
Despite proven advantages for the use of telemedicine in psychiatry, mental healthcare professionals have shown deep-seated mistrust and suspicion of
telepsychiatry, which hinders its widespread application. The current study examines the attitudes of Israeli mental health professionals towards
telepsychiatry and seeks to uncover the effects of experience and organizational affiliation on its adoption. The methodology included qualitative and thematic analysis of 27 in-depth interviews with Israeli mental health professionals, focusing on three major themes-clinical quality, economic efficiency, and the effects on the work-life balance of healthcare professionals. The attitudes of mental health professionals were found to be widely divergent and sharply dichotomized regarding different aspects of
telepsychiatry and its suitability for mental healthcare services. However, there was a general consensus that telemedicine may not fulfil its promise of being a panacea to the problems of modern public medicine. In addition, attitudes were related to hierarchical position, organizational affiliation, and personal experience with
telepsychiatry. Specifically, organizational affiliation influenced experience with and support for the assimilation of
telepsychiatry. The study also revealed the role of organizational leadership and culture in promoting or inhibiting the proliferation and adoption of innovative technologies and services in modern medicine.
