Over the years, telepsychiatry services have expanded in many institutes. The Telemedicine Practice Guidelines and Telepsychiatry Operational Guidelines (TPOG) released in 2020 have been received by the fraternity with a mixture of apprehension, relief, and dissatisfaction on the list of drugs provided in Lists O, A, B, and C. Many psychiatrists have raised the issues of having a consensus in the formulation of List A.
To draw consensus on the medications that can be listed in Lists O, A, B, and C in TPOG-2020.
This was an online survey with ethics approval by the Indian Psychiatric Society Ethics Review Board. All psychiatrists, who are members of the Indian Psychiatric Society and whose E-mail address was available with the society, were sent the survey link by E-mail.
Opinions and suggestions on Lists O, A, B, and C of TPOG-2020 and reasons for the suggestions were collected.
Frequency, percentages, mean, and standard deviation were calculated. -test and Chi-square tests were used to see the influence of demographics on the concurrence of the lists.
Responses from 340 responders were analyzed. Majority of the responders agreed that List O (277, 85.5%), List B (263, 82.4%), and List C (223, 69%) are apt except for List A (162, 50.3%).
This online survey showed that majority of the responders agreed to the lists except for List A. The approach taken to include the medications in List A, which was to include the essential drugs, has various benefits. However, the lists are not final, and the results of this survey may become an impetus to modify the list in the next edition of TPOG.
多年来，远程精神病学服务在许多机构中得到了扩展。2020年发布的《远程医疗实践指南》和《远程精神病学操作指南》（TPOG）在医学界引起了不同的反应，人们对O、A、B和C清单中提供的药物清单既感到担忧、又感到欣慰，同时也存在不满。许多精神科医生提出了在制定A清单时达成共识的问题。
就2020年TPOG中可列入O、A、B和C清单的药物达成共识。
这是一项经印度精神病学协会伦理审查委员会伦理批准的在线调查。所有印度精神病学协会成员且协会拥有其电子邮件地址的精神科医生都通过电子邮件收到了调查链接。
收集了对2020年TPOG的O、A、B和C清单的意见和建议以及提出建议的理由。
计算了频率、百分比、均值和标准差。使用t检验和卡方检验来查看人口统计学因素对清单一致性的影响。
分析了340名受访者的回复。大多数受访者认为O清单（277人，85.5%）、B清单（263人，82.4%）和C清单（223人，69%）是合适的，但A清单（162人，50.3%）除外。
这项在线调查表明，除A清单外，大多数受访者同意这些清单。将药物列入A清单的方法是纳入基本药物，这有多种益处。然而，这些清单并非最终版本，本次调查结果可能会推动在下一版TPOG中对清单进行修改。
