In corrections, where staffing limitations tax an overburdened mental health system, telemental health is an increasingly common mode of mental health service delivery. Although telemental health presents an efficient treatment modality for a spectrum of mental health services, it is imperative to study how this modality influences key elements of the treatment experience. In this study, the authors compared inmates' perceptions of the working alliance, postsession mood, and satisfaction with psychiatric and psychological mental health services delivered through 2 different modalities: telemental health and face-to-face. Participants consisted of 186 inmates who received mental health services (36 via telepsychology, 50 via face-to-face psychology, 50 via telepsychiatry, and 50 via face-to-face psychiatry). Results indicate no significant differences in inmates' perceptions of the work alliance with the mental health professional, postsession mood, or overall satisfaction with services when telemental health and face-to-face modalities were compared within each type of mental health service. Implications of these findings are presented.
在惩教机构中，人员配备的限制使本就不堪重负的心理健康系统压力倍增，远程心理健康服务成为心理健康服务提供中日益常见的模式。尽管远程心理健康服务为一系列心理健康服务提供了一种高效的治疗方式，但研究这种方式如何影响治疗体验的关键要素至关重要。在本研究中，作者比较了通过远程心理健康和面对面两种不同方式提供的精神科和心理科心理健康服务中， inmates对工作联盟、 session后情绪以及满意度的看法。参与者包括186名接受心理健康服务的 inmates（36人通过远程心理学，50人通过面对面心理学，50人通过远程精神病学，50人通过面对面精神病学）。结果表明，在每种心理健康服务类型中，比较远程心理健康和面对面方式时， inmates对与心理健康专业人员的工作联盟、 session后情绪或对服务的总体满意度的看法没有显著差异。本文呈现了这些研究结果的意义。
