Abstract

The Coronavirus Pandemic (COVID-19) has led to a widespread surge in need for mental health services. At the same time, trainees in health service psychology rapidly transitioned to remote work to protect the safety of themselves, colleagues, and patients from the pandemic. This abrupt switch has led to pioneering advancements in the use of remote technologies which can improve access for patients and trainees alike. However, the existing guidelines for telehealth lack specific recommendations for training programs and supervision. Further, the literature is especially lacking in information on training in suicide risk assessment and management for when both supervision and treatment are conducted virtually. Trainees commonly experience relatively high anxiety when working with high-risk patients, and close supervision and support are paramount. This review provides information on available technologies that can aid suicide prevention, highlights gaps in existing guidelines and literature for telehealth as these may apply to trainees' work with high-risk patients, and delineates recommendations for training programs and supervisors to optimally support trainees' learning with regard to suicide prevention, and to ensure that trainees provide their patients with optimal treatment. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved) Impact Statement Public Significance Statement -This review highlights key challenges for trainees working with patients at high risk for suicide while working remotely during the Coronavirus Pandemic (COVID-19). Presently, there is a dearth of specific guidance to aid training programs during this time. The authors of this paper, representing trainees at multiple stages, conducted an extensive review of the current status of telehealth services specific to training and suicide prevention, and in this manuscript delineate specific recommendations for training programs and supervisors that can have immediate applicability to the psychology field.

冠状病毒大流行期间自杀预防的远程监督和培训:对培训计划和主管的建议

冠状病毒大流行（新冠肺炎）导致对心理健康服务的需求普遍激增。与此同时，卫生服务心理学的受训人员迅速过渡到远程工作，以保护自己、同事和患者的安全免受疫情的影响。这种突然的转变导致了远程技术的使用取得了开创性的进步，这可以改善患者和受训人员的访问。然而，现有的远程医疗指南缺乏对培训计划和监督的具体建议。此外，当监督和治疗都是虚拟进行时，文献中尤其缺乏关于自杀风险评估和管理培训的信息。受训人员在与高危患者合作时通常会经历相对较高的焦虑，密切的监督和支持至关重要。这篇综述提供了有关有助于自杀预防的可用技术的信息，强调了远程医疗现有指南和文献中的差距，因为这些指南和文献可能适用于受训人员与高危患者的合作，并为培训计划和主管提出了建议，以最佳地支持受训人员在自杀预防方面的学习，确保受训人员为患者提供最佳治疗。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2021 APA，保留所有权利）影响声明公共意义声明-本评论强调了在冠状病毒大流行（新冠肺炎）期间远程工作的受训人员在与自杀风险高的患者一起工作时面临的关键挑战。目前，在这段时间内，缺乏具体的指导来帮助培训计划。这篇论文的作者代表了处于多个阶段的受训人员，对培训和自杀预防方面的远程医疗服务的现状进行了广泛的审查，并在本文中为培训计划和主管提出了具体的建议，这些建议可以立即适用于心理学领域。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2021 APA，保留所有权利）
