The suicide rate remains the second leading cause of death for young adults and increased by 33 percent between 1999 and 2019. Also, it is the fourth leading cause of death among people ages 35-44 and the fifth leading cause among people ages 45-54, making suicide a problem not unique to only the university community; it is problem all across the country. The 2021-2022 academic year will also be mentally challenging to students returning to campus and those taking online classes due to COVID-19. The World Health Organization Situation Report published August 1, 2020, reported 4,456,389 confirmed cases and 151,265 deaths. However, most universities reopened their campuses in the fall of 2021. As universities may have limited social events, some students, particularly freshmen, may feel isolated. Social distancing can also cause stress levels among students to increase. This research investigates the perception of students about the need and use of telehealth and virtual appointments to provide students additional opportunities to receive the care they need. Most students were born in the information age and welcome technology as a tool to solve problems. The authors determined that providers can use mobile platforms to solve health problems. Regarding the full-scale replacement of health services with telehealth, the participants did not believe this was helpful and efficient. The authors determined that if healthcare providers implement telehealth, particularly in remote university campuses and rural areas, it will help to improve behavioral health on university campuses.
自杀率仍然是年轻人的第二大主要死因，1999 年至 2019 年间增加了 33%。此外，它是 35-44 岁人群的第四大死因，也是 45-54 岁人群的第五大死因，这使得自杀不再仅仅是大学社区的一个问题；而是一个全国性的问题。由于 COVID-19，2021-2022 学年对返回校园和上网课的学生来说也将是一个充满挑战的学年。世界卫生组织 2020 年 8 月 1 日发布的情况报告报告了 4456389 例确诊病例和 151265 例死亡病例。然而，大多数大学在 2021 年秋季重新开放了校园。由于大学可能限制社交活动，一些学生，尤其是新生，可能会感到孤立。社交距离也会导致学生的压力水平增加。这项研究调查了学生对远程医疗和虚拟预约的需求和使用的看法，为学生提供了额外的获得所需护理的机会。大多数学生都出生在信息时代，他们欢迎技术作为解决问题的工具。作者确定，提供者可以使用移动平台来解决健康问题。至于全面用远程医疗取代医疗服务，参与者认为这没有帮助和效率。作者确定，如果医疗保健提供者实施远程医疗，特别是在偏远的大学校园和农村地区，这将有助于改善大学校园的行为健康。
