Hence, to address these treatment gaps while also limiting exposure to the COVID-19 infection, telemedicine in the form of telephone and internet consultations has increasingly become the recourse around the world. Our center adopted this trend and also launched a telepsychiatry initiative in order to better cater to the needs of patients with pre-existing mental health disorders and to ensure regular follow-ups and compliance with prescription regiments.</p> <p><bold>AIM:</bold> The present study aimed to assess the level of patient satisfaction with the online psychiatric services/telepsychiatry.</p> <p><bold>METHODS: </bold>The sample consisted of 100 patients with pre-existing mental health disorders. This was a cross-sectional study lasting 6 months. The DigiDoc app by Hospital Information Software (HIS) software, which is used to manage a patient’s appointment schedule, relevant clinical and lab details, along with follow-up prescriptions, was used to follow the selected patients for the purpose of this study. This software also provides a digital platform for video calls for online consultation. The Client Satisfaction Questionnaires-8 (CSQ-8) was employed to collect patient data for analysis.</p> <p><bold>RESULTS:</bold> The mean total CSQ-8 score of the study sample was 21.01±5.80 (8–32), which corresponds to a low-to-moderate level of satisfaction with online psychiatric services/telepsychiatry. Most patients (45%) reported low satisfaction levels, followed by 37% who reported moderate levels of satisfaction. Only 18% of patients reported higher satisfaction with telepsychiatry.</p> <p><bold>CONCLUSION:</bold> Despite the psychiatrists ability to provide adequate professional advice and psychoeducation through online psychiatric services, patients’ level of satisfaction proved moderate-to-low. This suggests a need to design standard protocols and guidelines in the search and provision of consultation services on online psychiatric service platforms that could help enhance patients’ levels of satisfaction.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>ВВЕДЕНИЕ:</bold> Глобальная пандемия COVID-19, в частности, такие факторы как необходимость соблюдения режима ограничения по перемещению граждан (локдаун), неудобство оказания помощи, боязнь заражения коронавирусной инфекцией и экономические трудности, выявили слабые места в ведении пациентов с распространенными соматическими и психическими заболеваниями. Для устранения этих слабых мест, а также для ограничения контакта с инфекцией COVID-19, во всем мире все чаще прибегают к телемедицинским технологиям в виде телефонных и онлайн-консультаций. Наш центр последовал примеру и также запустил программу телепсихиатриической помощи, чтобы лучше удовлетворять потребности пациентов с ранее диагностированными психическими расстройствами, обеспечивать регулярное наблюдение и соблюдение назначенных схем лечения.</p> <p><bold>ЦЕЛЬ: </bold>Данное исследование ставило целью оценку уровня удовлетворенности пациентов работой онлайн-службы психиатрической помощи/телепсихиатрии.</p> <p><bold>МЕТОДЫ:</bold> Выборка включала 100 пациентов с ранее диагностированными психическими расстройствами. Данное исследование было кросс-секционным с одной точкой исследования. Набор участников исследования осуществлялся на протяжении 6 месяцев. Данные были собраны с помощью приложения DigiDoc, являющегося частью программного обеспечения Hospital Information System, которое использовалось для записи пациентов на прием пациентов, просмотра важных клинических и лабораторных данных, а также врачебных назначений. В данном приложении также имелась платформа для видеозвонков для проведения онлайн-консультаций. Для сбора данных использовался Опросник удовлетворенности клиентов (CSQ-8).</p> <p><bold>РЕЗУЛЬТАТЫ:</bold> В исследуемой выборке средний балл по опроснику CSQ-8 составил 21,01±5,80 (8–32), что свидетельствует о низком или среднем уровене удовлетворенности от работы онлайн-службы психиатрической помощи/телепсихиатрии. У большинства пациентов (45%) уровень удовлетворенности по данным опроса был низким; 37% сообщили о среднем уровне удовлетворенности. Лишь у 18% пациентов уровень удовлетворенности психиатрической помощью в формате телепсихиатрии был высоким.</p> <p><bold>ЗАКЛЮЧЕНИЕ: </bold>Несмотря на доступность информации и возможность врача-психиатра предоставить адекватную профессиональную консультацию с помощью онлайн-технологий, уровень удовлетворенности пациентов оказался умеренным или низким. Это свидетельствует о необходимости разработки стандартных протоколов и руководств по поиску и предоставлению телепсихиатрических консультационных услуг, которые могли бы способствовать повышению уровня удовлетворенности пациентов.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>level of patient satisfaction</kwd><kwd>telepsychiatry</kwd><kwd>telemedicine</kwd><kwd>online psychiatry</kwd><kwd>digital psychiatry</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>уровень удовлетворенности пациентов</kwd><kwd>телепсихиатрия</kwd><kwd>телемедицина</kwd><kwd>онлайн-психиатрия</kwd><kwd>цифровая психиатрия</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Alavi Z, Haque R, Felzer-Kim IT, Lewicki T, Haque A, Mormann M.
