Abstract

Nonpsychiatrist physicians were surveyed regarding problems that they had experienced when seeking a psychiatric consultation or treatment referral. They gave three main reasons for not referring more patients to psychiatrists: a belief that other mental health professionals could do as well at less cost, that psychiatrists were less available to discuss patients, and that greater stigma was attached to seeing a psychiatrist than seeing other mental health professionals. Psychiatrists might improve their consultation and referral networks by addressing the misperceptions of their nonpsychiatrist physician colleagues.

摘要

针对非精神科医生在寻求精神科会诊或治疗转诊时遇到的问题进行了调查。他们给出了不将更多患者转诊给精神科医生的三个主要原因：认为其他心理健康专业人员可以以更低的成本提供同样的服务；精神科医生较少有空讨论患者情况；与看其他心理健康专业人员相比，看精神科医生会带来更大的污名。精神科医生或许可以通过解决非精神科医生同事的误解来改善他们的会诊和转诊网络。
