New methods of connecting physicians and patients have arisen. Technology is playing a crucial role and the concept of hybrid doctor-patient relationship is considered relevant for the competitive health management system. At the same time, the need for knowledge about implementing policies and best practices into the system is highly demanding. Digital tools, such as eHealth or mHealth can improve the traditional approach to consulting patients without requiring face-to-face interaction. However, due to the discussion surrounding the adoption of these technologies, the authors performed the study with two marketing research methods. The first is qualitative and is related to the opinions, attitudes, and beliefs of Romanian experts on the use of eHealth and mHealth for the prevention, detection, and treatment of mild mental disorders. The second method quantifies the opinions, attitudes, and behaviours of Romanian adults on their openness to adopt new technologies for mental health management. The main findings of the research highlight three factors that can increase the chances of adults using technology for health-related needs: (1) accessibility (2) data security, and (3) content. These are the main aspects that influence the well-being of both young and older adults, who both need support regarding mental health management.
新的医患联系方式已经出现。技术正在发挥关键作用,混合医患关系的概念被认为与竞争激烈的健康管理系统相关。与此同时,将政策和最佳实践知识付诸实施的需求也非常高。数字工具,如电子健康或移动健康,可以改进传统的咨询患者的方法,而无需面对面的互动。然而,由于围绕这些技术的采用存在争议,作者使用了两种市场研究方法进行研究。第一种是定性的,与罗马尼亚专家对电子健康和移动健康在轻度精神障碍的预防、检测和治疗中的使用的意见、态度和信念有关。第二种方法量化了罗马尼亚成年人对采用新技术进行心理健康管理的开放性的意见、态度和行为。研究的主要发现强调了三个可以增加成年人使用技术满足健康相关需求的机会的因素:(1)可及性;(2)数据安全;(3)内容。这些是影响年轻人和老年人福祉的主要方面,他们都需要在心理健康管理方面得到支持。
