Given the high rate of sexually transmissible infections among young people and limited rural access to specialist healthcare, an Australian telemedicine service was piloted. Clients' views were investigated.
All clients aged 15-24 were given a questionnaire. A sub-sample was interviewed.
The service was used by 25 rural youths aged 15-24; 18 returned the questionnaire, 4 were interviewed. All had a telephone consultation. They reported being satisfied with the service; most preferred the telemedicine service to consulting a doctor in person.
Online video consultations for sexual health may not yet be acceptable to young people in Australia.
鉴于年轻人中性传播感染率较高,且农村地区获得专科医疗服务的机会有限,澳大利亚开展了一项远程医疗服务试点。对客户的意见进行了调查。
向所有15至24岁的客户发放问卷。对一个子样本进行了访谈。
25名15至24岁的农村青年使用了该服务;18人返回了问卷,4人接受了访谈。所有人都进行了电话咨询。他们表示对该服务满意;大多数人更喜欢远程医疗服务而非亲自去看医生。
在澳大利亚,年轻人可能尚未接受性健康方面的在线视频咨询。
