To investigate determinants of telemental health (TMH) providers' openness to discuss and confidence to use online mental health information with patients, focusing on providers' eHealth literacy and perceived usefulness of online MH information.
TMH providers ( = 472) completed a web-based survey with questions about discussing and using online health information with patients, perceived usefulness of the Internet as a source of patient information, and eHealth literacy.
Providers were open to discussing online health information with patients if they were not treating substance abuse disorders ( = -0.83), felt the Internet was a useful resource ( = 0.18), and felt confident in their skills to evaluate the online information ( = 0.21). Providers were confident using online health information if they worked in a small clinic ( = 0.37), felt the Internet was a useful resource ( = 0.31), knew where to access relevant online health information ( = 0.13), and had skills to help their patients find ( = 0.17) and evaluate ( = 0.54) online information.
TMH providers are likely to use online health information resources if they know where and how to find them and perceive the Internet as a useful resource.
To effectively discuss online health information with patients, providers require skills to evaluate the information with patients.
探讨远程心理健康（TMH）提供者与患者讨论在线心理健康信息的开放性以及使用该信息的信心，重点关注提供者的电子健康素养和对在线心理健康信息的感知有用性。
472名TMH提供者完成了一项基于网络的调查，问题包括与患者讨论和使用在线健康信息、将互联网视为患者信息来源的感知有用性以及电子健康素养。
如果提供者不治疗物质滥用障碍（β = -0.83）、认为互联网是有用的资源（β = 0.18）并且对自己评估在线信息的技能有信心（β = 0.21），他们就愿意与患者讨论在线健康信息。如果提供者在小诊所工作（β = 0.37）、认为互联网是有用的资源（β = 0.31）、知道从何处获取相关在线健康信息（β = 0.13）并且具备帮助患者查找（β = 0.17）和评估（β = 0.54）在线信息的技能，他们就有信心使用在线健康信息。
如果TMH提供者知道在哪里以及如何找到在线健康信息资源，并将互联网视为有用的资源，他们就可能会使用这些资源。
为了有效地与患者讨论在线健康信息，提供者需要具备与患者一起评估信息的技能。
