Abstract

Background: This project report describes the development and evaluation of an interactive seminar on the topic "medical effects of climate change on children's health".

Objectives: The learning objectives are learning the basics and the direct and indirect connections between climate change and children's health. Future scenarios for affected children, parents and doctors are developed interactively. Subsequently, communication strategies concerning climate change are discussed so that students identify and analyze possibilities to become active.

Methodology: The seminar was offered as an obligatory seminar for a total of 128 third-year medical students with one appointment of 45 minutes per course group as part of the interdisciplinary seminar series "Environmental Medicine". A course group consisted of 14 to 18 students. The seminar for the 2020 summer semester was developed as part of the interdisciplinary field of environmental medicine with the special feature of an interactive role play. The role play intends to give the students the opportunity to put themselves in the situation of affected children, parents and doctors of the future in order to develop detailed solution strategies. From 2020 to 2021, the seminar took place as online self-study due to the lockdown requirements. Since winter semester 2021/22, the seminar was held as an attendance event for the first time, although the switch to an online presence seminar with obligatory attendance had to take place after four seminar dates due to renewed lockdown requirements, which also took place four times. The evaluated results here refer to a total of eight dates in the winter semester 2021/22 and were carried out using a specially developed questionnaire, which was filled out voluntarily and anonymously by the students immediately after the respective seminar date. An overall grade as well as the appropriateness of the time and content of lectures and role play were asked for. Free text answers were possible for each question.

Results: A total of 83 questionnaires were evaluated, 54 of which were from the four seminars in attendance, 15 were from the four online presence seminars that took place as an online live stream. The evaluation of the seminar resulted in an average grade of 1.7 for the face-to-face seminars and 1.9 for the online seminars. Content-related comments in the free-text answers addressed the desire for concrete solution strategies, more time for discussions and a more in-depth study of the topic. Numerous positive responses described the seminar as "very exciting", "good food for thought", "interesting and important topic".

Conclusion: There is a very high interest on the topic of "climate change & health" among students There is an obvious need to integrate the topic on a larger scale into medical education. Ideally, the focus on children's health should be an integral part of the pediatric curriculum.

学生在角色扮演中体验气候变化对儿童健康的影响,并制定医疗工作策略-互动研讨会。
背景:本项目报告描述了关于"气候变化对儿童健康的医学影响"主题的互动式研讨会的发展和评价情况。目标:学习目标是学习基本知识以及气候变化与儿童健康之间的直接和间接联系。受影响的儿童、父母和医生的未来设想是互动发展的。随后,讨论了有关气候变化的传播策略,以便学生识别和分析积极主动的可能性。方法:该研讨会是一项强制性研讨会,共有128名三年级医科学生参加,每个课程组一次45分钟的预约,作为"环境医学"跨学科研讨会系列的一部分。一个课程组由14到18名学生组成。2020年夏季学期的研讨会是作为环境医学跨学科领域的一部分开发的,具有互动角色扮演的特点。角色扮演旨在让学生有机会将自己置于受影响的儿童、父母和未来医生的处境中,以制定详细的解决策略。从2020年到2021年,由于封锁要求,研讨会以在线自学的形式进行。自2021/22冬季学期以来,该研讨会首次以出席活动的形式举行,但由于新的封锁要求,必须在四次研讨会日期之后进行在线出席研讨会,这也进行了四次。这里的评估结果涉及2021/22冬季学期的八个日期,并使用特别开发的问卷进行,该问卷由学生在各自的研讨会日期后立即自愿和匿名填写。总体成绩以及讲课和角色扮演的时间和内容的适当性被要求。每个问题的免费文本答案都是可能的。结果:共评估了83份问卷,其中54份来自参加的四场研讨会,15份来自作为在线直播的四场在线存在研讨会。对研讨会的评估结果是,面对面研讨会的平均评分为1.7分,在线研讨会的平均评分为1.9分。自由文本回答中与内容相关的评论表达了对具体解决策略、更多讨论时间和更深入研究主题的渴望。许多积极的回应称研讨会“非常令人兴奋”、“发人深省”、“有趣而重要的话题”。结论:学生对“气候变化与健康”这一主题的兴趣非常高,显然需要将这一主题更大规模地融入医学教育中。理想情况下,对儿童健康的关注应该是儿科课程的一个组成部分。

期刊介绍: GMS Journal for Medical Education (GMS J Med Educ) – formerly GMS Zeitschrift für Medizinische Ausbildung – publishes scientific articles on all aspects of undergraduate and graduate education in medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, pharmacy and other health professions. Research and review articles, project reports, short communications as well as discussion papers and comments may be submitted. There is a special focus on empirical studies which are methodologically sound and lead to results that are relevant beyond the respective institution, profession or country. Please feel free to submit qualitative as well as quantitative studies. We especially welcome submissions by students. It is the mission of GMS Journal for Medical Education to contribute to furthering scientific knowledge in the German-speaking countries as well as internationally and thus to foster the improvement of teaching and learning and to build an evidence base for undergraduate and graduate education. To this end, the journal has set up an editorial board with international experts. All manuscripts submitted are subjected to a clearly structured peer review process. All articles are published bilingually in English and German and are available with unrestricted open access. Thus, GMS Journal for Medical Education is available to a broad international readership. GMS Journal for Medical Education is published as an unrestricted open access journal with at least four issues per year. In addition, special issues on current topics in medical education research are also published. Until 2015 the journal was published under its German name GMS Zeitschrift für Medizinische Ausbildung. By changing its name to GMS Journal for Medical Education, we wish to underline our international mission.
