All over the world, measures were taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Social distancing not only had a strong influence on mental health, but also on the organization of care systems. It changed existing practices, as we had to rapidly move from face-to-face contact to remote contact with patients. These changes have prompted research into the attitudes of mental healthcare professionals towards telepsychology. Several factors affect these attitudes: at the institutional and organizational level, but also the collective and personal experience of practitioners. This paper is based on an original European survey conducted by the EFPA (European Federation of Psychologists' Associations) Project Group on eHealth in 2020, which allowed to observe the variability in perceptions of telepsychology between countries and mental healthcare professionals. This study highlights different variables that contributed to the development of attitudes, such as motivations, acquired experience, or training. We found the "feeling of telepresence"-which consists of forgetting to some extent that we are at a distance, in feeling together-and social telepresence in particular as main determinants of the perception and the practice of telepsychology.
在全球范围内，各国都采取了措施来防止新冠病毒的传播。社交距离不仅对心理健康产生了重大影响，也对医疗系统的组织产生了影响。它改变了现有的医疗方式，因为我们不得不迅速从与患者的面对面接触转变为远程接触。这些变化促使人们对心理保健专业人员对远程心理学的态度进行研究。有几个因素会影响这些态度：在机构和组织层面，以及从业者的集体和个人经验。本文基于欧洲心理学家协会联合会（EFPA）电子健康项目组2020年进行的一项原创性欧洲调查，该调查能够观察到不同国家和心理保健专业人员对远程心理学认知的差异。这项研究突出了促成态度形成的不同变量，如动机、获得的经验或培训。我们发现，“远程临场感”（即在一定程度上忘记我们身处远方，感觉在一起），尤其是社交远程临场感，是远程心理学认知和实践的主要决定因素。
