Resumo

Dada a actual pandemia da COVID-19, a utilização da tecnologia em plataformas online tem sido um método primário a nível internacional para defender o sistema de saúde durante esta crise mundial de saúde. A tele-saúde mental (OTH) online oferece novas oportunidades interessantes para profissionais de saúde mental. No entanto, o início da OTH também trouxe uma série de ensaios, particularmente sobre padrões éticos. O objetivo desta revisão narrativa visa destacar as questões éticas levantadas entre os estudos que aplicam a modalidade de OTH, que é um recurso oportuno para profissionais de saúde mental que foram forçados a passar para a prática de consultas e sessões online. Utilizando os pontos-chave padrão dos códigos de ética dos profissionais de saúde mental, aplicando-se tanto a Associação Americana de Psicologia (APA) como o código de ética fornecido pela Associação Psicológica das Filipinas (PAP) durante a revisão. Os resultados mostram que existem problemas e incertezas para os prestadores de saúde mental que se esforçam para cumprir a mudança tecnológica. Neste estudo, as cinco questões éticas mais críticas encontradas em encontros de OTH incluem questões de competência, questões nas interrupções de serviços psicológicos no uso da tecnologia, questões de integridade, questões de privacidade e confidencialidade e temas que são considerados questões acessórias em Outros. As recomendações fornecidas atendem ao levantamento de questões éticas levantadas na revisão.
