摘要

远程医疗为老年人提供了接触提供者、讨论护理需求和就严重疾病进行对话的途径。然而,一些人接受远程医疗,而另一些人则不接受。居住在城市的低收入老年人在获得持续护理、参与卫生保健系统和获得支持以满足严重疾病护理需求方面面临着独特的挑战。为了调查低收入老年人对远程医疗的接受程度,我们对三家医疗补助资助的辅助生活设施(malf)的46名居民进行了半结构化的定性访谈。这些设施为服务不足的人群提供社会、功能和临床支持。访谈记录分析采用传统的内容分析。确定了描述低收入辅助生活社区接受远程医疗的四个定性主题。好处:远程医疗提供便利——与会者强调了远程医疗如何促进医疗预约,使其更容易接受治疗。障碍:技术的流畅性和获取并非普遍存在——许多人描述了物理和技术障碍,限制了他们有效利用远程保健的能力。偏好:对远程医疗的普遍厌恶-这个主题捕捉了参与者对远程医疗的总体态度和本能反应,从热情到怀疑。担忧:对临床联系的不信任——患者表达了对信任、安全以及通过远程医疗与提供者建立有意义联系的能力的担忧。虽然远程保健可以使护理更加方便,但远程保健接触可能会阻碍城市居住的低收入老年人与提供者之间对治疗关系的信任。对于讨论严重疾病的远程保健对话,需要进一步努力支持参与,促进信任,并在历史上被边缘化的人群中提供以患者为中心的护理。

"What Good Is That?"-Perspectives of Using Telehealth to Discuss Serious Illness with Urban-Dwelling Low-Income Older Adults in Assisted Living.

Telehealth offers an avenue for older adults to access providers, discuss care needs, and have serious illness conversations. However, telehealth is embraced by some and not by others. Urban-dwelling, low-income older adults have unique challenges in accessing continuous care, engaging with the healthcare system and receiving support to address serious illness care needs. To investigate telehealth acceptance in low-income older adults, we conducted individual semi-structured qualitative interviews with 46 residents of three Medicaid-funded assisted living facilities (MALFs) which provide social, functional, and clinical support to underserved populations. Interview transcripts were analyzed using conventional content analysis. Four qualitative themes describing telehealth acceptance in low-income assistant living communities were identified. Benefit: Telehealth offers convenience-participants highlighted how telehealth facilitates access to healthcare appointments, making it easier to receive care. Barrier: Technology fluency and access is not universal-many described physical and technological barriers that limit their ability to use telehealth effectively. Preference: general distaste for telehealth-this theme captures participants' overall attitudes and gut reactions to telehealth, ranging from enthusiasm to skepticism. Concern: mistrust in clinical connection-patients expressed concerns about trust, security, and the ability to build meaningful connections with providers through telehealth. While telehealth can make care more convenient, telehealth encounters may hinder trust in the therapeutic relationship between urban-dwelling low-income older adults and providers. For telehealth conversations discussing serious illness, additional efforts are needed to support engagement, foster trust, and provide patient-centered care in populations that have been historically marginalized.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Urban Health is the premier and authoritative source of rigorous analyses to advance the health and well-being of people in cities. The Journal provides a platform for interdisciplinary exploration of the evidence base for the broader determinants of health and health inequities needed to strengthen policies, programs, and governance for urban health. The Journal publishes original data, case studies, commentaries, book reviews, executive summaries of selected reports, and proceedings from important global meetings. It welcomes submissions presenting new analytic methods, including systems science approaches to urban problem solving. Finally, the Journal provides a forum linking scholars, practitioners, civil society, and policy makers from the multiple sectors that can influence the health of urban populations.
