摘要

导言：尽管青少年心理健康危机已得到充分证实，但在发展专门的人才队伍以满足经历这些挑战的青少年的需求方面却一直滞后。人们对初级儿科医生在面对有心理健康问题的儿童和青少年时的舒适度知之甚少：我们进行了一项简短的在线调查，以评估阿拉巴马州儿科医疗系统下属儿科诊所的行为和心理健康问题模式。调查询问了儿科医疗服务提供者遇到问题的频率、治疗这些问题的舒适度以及外部转诊的频率：结果：儿科医疗服务提供者报告称，有大量儿童有心理健康问题，他们对独立治疗的舒适度各不相同。结果：儿科医疗服务提供者报告了大量有心理健康问题的儿童，他们对独立治疗有不同程度的舒适感，医疗服务提供者经常向外部转诊：高转诊率可能会给已经超负荷的专科医疗系统带来更大压力。必须采取干预措施，确保医疗队伍做好准备，以满足需要心理和行为健康支持的青少年日益增长的需求。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)。

Children's behavioral and mental health in primary care settings: A survey of self-reported comfort levels and practice patterns among pediatricians.

Introduction: Despite the well-documented youth mental health crisis, there has been a lag in the development of a specialized workforce to meet needs of young people experiencing these challenges. Little is known about the comfort of primary care pediatricians when faced with children and adolescents with mental health care concerns.

Method: A brief online survey was conducted to assess patterns of behavioral and mental health concerns in pediatric practices affiliated with a pediatric health system in Alabama. The survey asked about frequency of conditions that providers encountered, comfort treating these conditions, and frequency of external referrals.

Results: Pediatric providers reported high volumes of children with mental health concerns and varying levels of comfort treating independently. Providers frequently refer externally.

Conclusions: High rates of referrals could further stress an already overloaded system of specialty care. Interventions must be implemented to ensure a workforce prepared to meet the growing needs of youth requiring support for mental and behavioral health conditions.
