Systematic evaluation of child and adolescent psychiatric outpatient treatment is important but time-consuming. The aim of this paper was to study whether Interactive Voice Response (IVR) is a more effective method than a questionnaire sent by post when following up outpatient treatment in child and adolescent psychiatry. Eighty patients were recruited from a child and adolescent psychiatric outpatient unit in Sweden. One parent of each of the patients was randomized to complete the BCFPI follow-up form, using either IVR (n = 40) or postal survey (n = 40) one month after discharge. The response rate for complete answers was 65% in the IVR group and 38% in the postal survey group (p = 0.014). There was less need for reminders in the IVR group (p = 0.000). IVR is a promising and cost-effective method for evaluating evidence-based treatment in child and adolescent psychiatric care.
对儿童和青少年精神科门诊治疗进行系统评估很重要,但耗时较长。本文旨在研究在儿童和青少年精神病学门诊治疗随访中,交互式语音应答(IVR)是否比邮寄问卷更有效。从瑞典的一个儿童和青少年精神科门诊招募了80名患者。每位患者的一位家长被随机分配,在出院后一个月使用IVR(n = 40)或邮寄调查(n = 40)完成BCFPI随访表。IVR组完整答案的回复率为65%,邮寄调查组为38%(p = 0.014)。IVR组对提醒的需求较少(p = 0.000)。IVR是一种在儿童和青少年精神科护理中评估循证治疗的有前景且具成本效益的方法。
