Abstract

Background: The need for the use of telemedicine is expected to increase in the coming years. There is, furthermore, a lack of evidence about the use of video consultations for hematological patients, and how the use of video consultations is experienced from the patients' perspective.

Objective: This study aimed to identify patients' experiences with the use of video consultations in place of face-to-face consultations, what it means to the patient to save the travel time, and how the roles between patients and health care professionals are experienced when using video consultation. This study concerns stable, not acutely ill, patients with hematological disease.

Methods: The study was designed as an exploratory and qualitative study. Data were collected through participant observations and semistructured interviews and analyzed in a postphenomenological framework.

Results: The data analysis revealed three categories: "Intimacy is not about physical presence," "Handling technology," and "Technology increases the freedom that the patients desire."

Conclusions: This study demonstrates what is important for patients with regards to telemedicine and how they felt about seeing health care professionals through a screen. It was found that intimacy can be mediated through a screen and physical presence is not as important to the patient as other things. The study further pointed out how patients valued being involved in the planning of their treatment. The patients also valued the freedom associated with telemedicine and actively took responsibility for their own course of treatment. Patients felt that video consultations allowed them to be free and active, despite their illness.

从患者角度看血液病患者视频会诊的使用:定性研究。
背景:预计未来几年对使用远程医疗的需求将会增加。此外,缺乏关于血液学患者使用视频会诊的证据,以及如何从患者的角度体验视频会诊的使用。目的:本研究旨在确定患者使用视频会诊代替面对面会诊的体验,节省旅行时间对患者意味着什么,以及使用视频会诊时患者和医疗保健专业人员之间的角色体验。这项研究关注的是稳定的、非急性的血液病患者。方法:采用探索性和定性研究相结合的方法。通过参与者观察和半结构化访谈收集数据,并在后现象学框架中进行分析。结果:数据分析揭示了三个类别:“亲密关系不是身体上的存在”,“处理技术”和“技术增加了患者渴望的自由”。结论:这项研究表明了远程医疗对患者的重要性,以及他们对通过屏幕看到医疗保健专业人员的感受。研究发现,亲密关系可以通过屏幕来调节,对病人来说,身体上的存在并不像其他事情那么重要。该研究进一步指出了患者如何重视参与他们的治疗计划。患者也重视与远程医疗相关的自由,并积极为自己的治疗过程负责。患者觉得视频咨询让他们自由和活跃,尽管他们的疾病。
