During the SARS CoV-2 pandemic, telemedicine experienced an enormous boom. Also, for Parkinson's patients there are upcoming alternatives to regular care.
The aim of the present study was to interview Parkinson's patients under the impression of the first lockdown in Germany about their health care situation, but especially about the use of and attitudes towards videotherapy and -consultation.
Northern German members of the German Parkinson Association were mailed a 16-item questionnaire including demographic questions on a one-time basis. The voluntary participants answered regarding their health care situation during the first German SARS CoV-2 lockdown, as well as attitudes towards videotherapy/-consultations.
The 332 (of 974 questionnaires) responding evaluated their care situation predominantly (58.7%) unchanged during lockdown. There was hardly any previous experience in the areas of videotherapy and -consultations (15.4% and 3%, respectively), but at the same time mostly imaginability of implementation (54.2% and 56%, respectively) and the belief that they could motivate themselves to do so (51.8%). A total of 69% welcomed technical support for the implementation of videotherapy.
In principle, there seems to be both, a need and an interest in telematics in healthcare such as videotherapy and video consultations, even if further barriers such as technical implementation need to be addressed. An expansion of telemedical services and infrastructure seems desirable not only in the pandemic situation, but also in the long term against the backdrop of demographic change, especially in an area like Schleswig-Holstein. Further studies are needed.
在 SARS-CoV-2 大流行期间，远程医疗经历了巨大的繁荣。此外，对于帕金森病患者来说，也有即将替代常规护理的方法。
本研究旨在采访德国第一次封锁期间的帕金森病患者，了解他们的医疗状况，但特别关注他们对视频治疗和咨询的使用和态度。
德国帕金森病协会的北德成员一次性收到了一份包含 16 个问题的问卷，其中包括人口统计学问题。自愿参加的参与者回答了他们在德国 SARS-CoV-2 第一次封锁期间的医疗状况，以及对视频治疗/咨询的态度。
332 名（974 份问卷中的）回复者评估他们的护理状况在封锁期间主要（58.7%）保持不变。他们在视频治疗和咨询方面几乎没有任何先前的经验（分别为 15.4%和 3%），但同时对实施的想象（分别为 54.2%和 56%）和他们相信自己可以这样做的信念（分别为 51.8%）很高。共有 69%的人欢迎为实施视频治疗提供技术支持。
原则上，远程医疗（如视频治疗和视频咨询）在医疗保健中既存在需求，也存在兴趣，尽管还需要解决技术实施等进一步的障碍。不仅在大流行期间，而且在人口结构变化的背景下，长期来看，远程医疗服务和基础设施的扩展似乎是可取的，特别是在石勒苏益格-荷尔斯泰因这样的地区。需要进一步的研究。
