Assessment of awareness, practices, perceptions, and satisfaction of telepsychiatry among mental healthcare providers in Saudi Arabia
MHPs in KSA exhibit high awareness but engage in telepsychiatry practice to a lesser extent. They have a good perception and are satisfied with their telepsychiatry practice. The study recommends that policymakers and stakeholders in KSA should prioritize building the capacities of MHPs in telehealth. Expanding and scaling up awareness activities are essential to improve digital literacy and telehealth practices among MHPs.
