While studies have investigated the delivery of virtual physical health care, only a handful have investigated the delivery of virtual mental health. These specifically focussed on the outcomes of virtual care whether experiential, practical, or empirical. The transition from in-person to virtual care delivery due to the COVID-19 pandemic has been unexplored. Accordingly, the purpose of the study was to: (1) Explore the experiences of clients who had to transition from an in-person to a virtual provision of mental health care due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and; (2) Explore the nurses' experiences of this technological transition. Using an interpretive phenomenology methodology, semi-structured interviews were conducted with nurses and clients who have experienced the in-person to virtual transition of service delivery at a tertiary mental health hospital in Ontario, Canada. In this article, we focus on the results stemming from our interviews with clients. The themes generated from the analysis of client experiences are 1) the psychosocial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on clients, (2) mixed feelings of clients towards nursing care delivered via technological means and (3) the role of nurses regarding transitioning of in-person care to technology-mediated care. These findings are relevant as mental health care hospitals are considering how they will deliver services once concerns with the transmission of the COVID-19 virus are resolved.</p>","PeriodicalId":46661,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Nursing Research","volume":" ","pages":"69-80"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10804682/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138812300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Semi-structured interviews were completed with individuals with IBD and GCPs. Data were analyzed using an inductive content analysis approach. A total of 25 individuals with IBD and five GCPs were interviewed. Three categories were identified: benefits of virtual IBD care delivery, challenges of virtual IBD care delivery, and optimizing IBD care delivery. Individuals with IBD and GCPs were satisfied with the use of VC technology for appointments. Participants believed VC was convenient and allowed enhanced access to care. However, VC was not considered ideal in some instances, such as during disease flares or first appointments. Thus, a blended use of virtual and in-person appointments was suggested for individualized care. The virtual method of connecting patients and providers is deemed useful for routine appointments and for persons living in rural areas. VC is becoming more common in the IBD care environment. Nurses are in a key position to facilitate and enhance virtual IBD care delivery for the benefit of both individuals living with IBD and providers.","PeriodicalId":46661,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Nursing Research","volume":"11 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138591912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
