ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND AIMS:
During the first lockdown of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, we developed a teleconsultation model and conducted a survey-based study with the aim to evaluate satisfaction and emotions of health workers (HWs), to assess the feasibility of teleconsultations, and to evaluate technical issues. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
This is a prospective monocentric exploratory study based on synchronous, video consultations between HWs and pediatric patients treated for blood or solid malignancies or blood benign diseases. Every HW completed an online survey which covered technical aspects, data concerning satisfaction, quality of the interaction with the patient, and emotions felt after the teleconsultation. A score was calculated for each aspect.RESULTS:
Eleven specialists participated in the study, and we selected 84 questionnaires. With a satisfaction rate of 74%, HWs felt mostly calm (80%), relaxed (70%), stress-free (69%), and relieved (65%). We calculated the following median scores an overall satisfaction score of 6.67 (0 to 10), a global feeling score of 8.79 (3.33 to 10.00), and a quality score of 7.34 (2.50 to 10.00). A strong correlation between the quality of teleconsultation and the satisfaction of the HWs has been highlighted ( r =0.588).CONCLUSION:
Our series is an encouragingly positive experience from the perspective of the HWs, their feelings, and perceptions.
