Abstract

Background: To examine counselors' perceptions of their formal preparation for engaging in telemental health (TMH) counseling with the intent of gaining an understanding of their lived experiences.

Materials and methods: Semistructured interviews were conducted with seven seasoned counselors who regularly engage in technology-mediated distance counseling.

Results: The results highlighted themes within two emerging categories: the counselor and training/education. Themes related to motivation and specific counselor attributes emerged from the first category and themes of availability, inadequacy, and modality emerged from the second category.

Discussion: The implications from this study suggest a lack of availability and standardization of effective training on TMH delivery.

Conclusion: This study identifies areas of potential future research related to counselors' preparation experiences as well specific areas of need for TMH training in counseling graduate programs and other natural opportunities.

心理咨询师对远程心理健康服务准备情况的认知：一项现象学研究。

背景：调查咨询师对参与远程心理健康（TMH）咨询的正式准备的看法，以了解他们的生活经历。材料和方法：对七名经验丰富的咨询师进行半结构化访谈，这些咨询师定期参与技术中介的远程咨询。结果：研究结果突出了两个新兴类别的主题：辅导员和培训/教育。与动机和特定辅导员属性相关的主题出现在第一类中，可用性、不足性和模式主题出现在第二类中。讨论：本研究的影响表明，TMH实施方面缺乏有效培训的可用性和标准化。结论：本研究确定了与辅导员的准备经验相关的未来潜在研究领域，以及在咨询研究生项目和其他自然机会中需要TMH培训的特定领域。
