Videoconferencing in child and adolescent telepsychiatry: a systematic review of the literature

et al. 2004

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A systematic review of child and adolescent telepsychiatry was conducted. It was based on a search of the electronic databases MEDLINE and PsycINFO covering the period 1966 to June 2003. Studies were selected for review if they concerned videoconferencing for patient care or consultation, evaluated a clinical service or education, or assessed satisfaction with videoconferences. Twenty-seven articles were identified that fulfilled the selection criteria. These comprised two reports of randomized controlled experiments, 10 of descriptive questionnaire studies or observational surveys, seven case studies and eight other reports. Only three of the studies presented some calculations of cost-effectiveness. When classified by 'Quality of Evidence' criteria, only two studies were in category I (the highest), one was in II-2 and the rest fell into category III (the lowest). Most studies of child and adolescent telepsychiatry examined satisfaction with videoconferencing or described programmes or care regimens. Videoconferencing seemed to improve the accessibility of services and served an educational function. Some papers also mentioned savings in time, costs and travel. Problems with non-verbal communication and the audiovisual quality of the videoconference were mentioned as drawbacks. Telepsychiatry therefore seems to offer several benefits, at least in sparsely populated regions. Well designed and properly controlled trials are required to evaluate the clinical value of this promising method in child psychiatry, where there is a constantly increasing need for services.

This is the first study in which telephone and face-to-face assessments of axis I and II psychopathology were conducted with the same subjects assigned to conditions in a counterbalanced manner. The present findings provide qualified justification for the use of telephone interviews to collect axis I and II data. The apparent concerns do not appear sufficient to override the economic and logistic advantages of telephone interviewing.

“…Small scale studies have been performed to assess patient satisfaction with telemedicine consultations in a variety of settings throughout the world (Dongier et al 1986, Jerome 1993, Allen & Hayes 1995, Jones et ul. 1995, Pedersen & Holand 1995 and have revealed a generally positive response from patients to the use of this technology.…”

“…Patients have agreed that there are definite advantages to telemedicine which include: reduced waiting times, reduced costs to the healthcare system, impressions that examinations are more thorough, and excitement with the use of this new technol-ogy. Disadvantages that have been noted include: nervousness about use of the new technology, difficulty in talking to health care providers via the TV system, a tendency to be less candid when talking to the provider via this medium, and an experience of emotional distance between users and their provider (Dongier et al 1986, Jerome 1993, Allen & Hayes 1995, Jones ef al. 1995, Pedersen & Holand 1995.…”
