Abstract

Objective

Telepresence may play a fundamental role in establishing authentic interactions and relationships in online psychological interventions and can be measured by the Telepresence in Videoconference Scale (TVS), which was validated only with patients to date. This post hoc study aimed to validate the Italian version of the TVS with mental health professionals.

Method

The Italian TVS was included in an online survey, whose primary aim was to assess the experiences of Italian psychologists and psychotherapists with online interventions during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic and was filled in by 296 participants (83.4% females, mean age = 42 years old).

Results

Exploratory factor analysis supported the original factor structure only partially because the scale ‘Absorption’ (i.e., the feeling of losing track of time), as it was formulated, did not measure telepresence. Correlations were also explored between the TVS scales and some survey items pertaining to intimacy and emotional closeness to patients, comfort and positive as well as negative experiences with online interventions.

Conclusion

The TVS may be a useful tool to measure physical and social telepresence in online interventions, both in patients and in professionals.

在 COVID-19 大流行期间，在心理学家和心理治疗师样本中验证意大利语版视频会议网真量表 (TVS)

目标远程呈现在在线心理干预中建立真实的互动和关系方面发挥着重要作用，可通过视频会议中的远程呈现量表（TVS）进行测量。这项事后研究旨在验证意大利语版的心理健康专业人员 TVS。该调查的主要目的是评估意大利心理学家和心理治疗师在 COVID-19 第一波大流行期间进行在线干预的经验，共有 296 名参与者（83.4% 为女性，平均年龄 = 42 岁）填写了调查问卷。结果探索性因子分析仅部分支持了最初的因子结构，因为量表 "吸收"（即忘记时间的感觉）并不能测量远程呈现。此外，还探讨了 TVS 量表与一些调查项目之间的相关性，这些项目涉及与患者的亲密关系和情感亲密度、舒适度以及在线干预的积极和消极体验。结论 TVS 可以作为一种有用的工具，用于测量患者和专业人员在在线干预中的身体和社会远程呈现。
