Abstract
Background: The provision of mental health and psychiatric nursing services in Thailand’s digital era remains limited in terms of coverage, particularly regarding the diversity of service recipients, the application of digital technologies in nursing practices, and the extent of services across regional health areas.
Objectives: To synthesize knowledge gaps in the coverage of mental health and psychiatric nursing services that utilize digital technologies, focusing on the diversity of service recipients, nursing practice domains, and regional health service areas.
Methods: This study employed a six-step scoping review methodology: Identifying the research objectives and questions, developing inclusion criteria, searching and selecting literature, extracting data, analyzing data, and summarizing the results.
Results: Most existing research focuses on adult populations and tertiary care settings, with limited studies on children and primary care services. There is a notable lack of research addressing patients with post-traumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder, and specific phobias. The application of digital technologies in nursing remains at a basic level. However, the use of digital media is evident across all four nursing roles that consist of health promotion, prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation. Among these, health promotion is the least supported by existing research. Furthermore, comprehensive mental health service coverage across all regional health areas in Thailand remains minimal.
Conclusion: Current research predominantly focuses on adult populations in tertiary care settings, with basic-level digital tools such as communication and general assessment applications. There is a lack of advanced digital technology integration, particularly in roles involving mental health promotion and rehabilitation, and limited nationwide coverage across regional health service areas.
