Abstract

In the years following, the development of the core competencies for professional psychology (Fouad et al., 2009), technology has rapidly evolved and integrated into many aspects of professional practice and health care service delivery. This increased utilization of technology for core psychological functions, such as the delivery of psychotherapy, substantially expanded with the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic and barriers to in-person services due to health risks. The American Psychological Association (APA) Telepsychology Guidelines (Joint Task Force for the Development of Telepsychology Guidelines for Psychologists, 2013) establish aspirational guidelines for the use of technology in psychological service delivery, and the Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct (American Psychological Association, 2017) specify requirements for competent practice, including a reference to the use of technology. However, there are currently no competency guidelines or training expectations specific to technology use in health service psychology. As such, this article presents the rationale for establishing technology competency as a core foundational competency for health service psychologists.

技术是职业心理学的核心竞争力。

在接下来的几年里，随着专业心理学核心能力的发展（Fouad et al.，2009），技术迅速发展，并融入了专业实践和医疗服务提供的许多方面。随着新冠肺炎大流行的出现以及健康风险导致的住院服务障碍，技术在核心心理功能（如心理治疗）方面的利用率大幅增加。美国心理协会（APA）远程心理学指南（心理学家远程心理学指南开发联合工作组，2013）为在心理服务提供中使用技术制定了理想的指南，《心理学家伦理原则和行为准则》（美国心理协会，2017）规定了胜任实践的要求，包括提及技术的使用。然而，目前还没有针对医疗服务心理学中技术使用的能力指南或培训期望。因此，本文提出了将技术能力作为卫生服务心理学家的核心基础能力的基本原理。
