In the same line, Alghamdi et al [ 4 ], who studied telepsychiatry: knowledge, effectiveness, and willingness, assessments of psychiatrists in Saudi Arabia, found that psychiatrists’ knowledge regarding telepsychiatry was deemed insufficient; more than half of the psychiatrists showed a poor level of knowledge regarding telepsychiatry.…”

Background Telemedicine plays a vital role in patient-centered healthcare delivery in the diagnosis, management, and development of future treatment plans for chronic diseases. Results This study revealed that attitude toward telemedicine was high among the studied mental healthcare providers, while it was average among the other studied variables (awareness, knowledge, and skills). Psychiatrists had a high percentage in the studied variables (awareness, attitude, knowledge, and skills). There were statistically significant differences in the dimensions of the telemedicine questionnaire according to age, profession, and academic degree. There was a statistically significant relation between the levels of awareness, knowledge, and attitude toward telemedicine. Conclusions This study concluded that the studied mental healthcare providers had high attitudes while the other studied variables (awareness, knowledge, and skills) were average. Psychiatrists had a high percentage in the studied variables (awareness, attitude, knowledge, and skills), followed by psychologists, while nurses had the lowest level in all studied variables.

“…Knowledge of BPD was found to be better among female participants. However, when two studies assessed MHWs' knowledge of electrical convulsive therapy and telepsychiatry in SA, no association between gender and knowledge score was reported [ 27 , 29 ]. This might be explained by the fact that BPD is more prevalent among females, and therefore, females recognize BPD symptomatology more often [ 33 ].…”

BackgroundBorderline personality disorder (BPD) is a mental illness characterized by emotional instability. Its prevalence can be as high as 1.8% among the general population. Poor knowledge and negative perceptions of the disorder by mental health workers (MHWs) can affect patients' care and their help-seeking behavior. This study aims to explore MHW's knowledge and attitudes toward BPD. MethodA cross-sectional study was conducted on MHWs across the five regions of Saudi Arabia (SA) using a questionnaire that assessed knowledge, attitude, and training regarding BPD. ResultsData collected from 1028 MHWs showed a good knowledge level. Superior knowledge was observed among females, residents in the central region, physicians, those who received specific BPD training, and MHWs who had more experience and frequent interactions with BPD patients. Participants had moderate to high levels of perceived knowledge and confidence regarding the identification, assessment, and management of BPD patients. Undergraduate training programs were the most reported source of information on the disorder. While 66% of participants admitted that they find dealing with BPD patients more difficult and thought patient management was inadequate, 71% were willing to attend further BPD training. ConclusionMHWs in SA have moderate knowledge of but negative perceptions of BPD; specific training is needed to improve the care provided for BPD patients.
