Clinicians in the field of drug addiction have started to exploit the growth of Technology-Based Interventions (TBIs). However, there is little information on how health personnel evaluate them.
Semi-structured interviews were conducted among 20 European experts.
All of the interviewees recognised TBIs as a valuable tool to improve the management of substance-use disorders (SUDs). Most interviewees indicated that combining both traditional face-to-face therapist-patient clinic appointment with TBIs is probably the most effective method. Most interviewees agree that TBIs are valuable tools to overcome both physical and social barriers, and hence significantly facilitate the access to treatment. Poor infrastructure and lack of digital literacy are recognised as major barriers to the diffusion of these tools.
The application of various forms of technology in SUD treatment is an interesting development for the European Union. Technical and non-technical barriers exist and impede their full exploitation.
成瘾领域的临床医生已经开始利用基于技术的干预措施(TBIs)的发展。然而,关于卫生人员如何评估它们的信息却很少。
对 20 名欧洲专家进行了半结构化访谈。
所有接受采访的人都认为 TBIs 是改善物质使用障碍(SUD)管理的有价值的工具。大多数受访者表示,将传统的面对面治疗师-患者诊所预约与 TBIs 相结合可能是最有效的方法。大多数受访者都认为,TBIs 是克服身体和社会障碍的有价值的工具,因此可以极大地促进获得治疗。较差的基础设施和缺乏数字素养被认为是这些工具传播的主要障碍。
在 SUD 治疗中应用各种形式的技术是欧盟的一个有趣发展。存在技术和非技术障碍,阻碍了它们的充分利用。
