Abstract

Purpose: The public medical universities in Austria (educating 11,000 students) developed a joint public distance learning series in which clinicians discussed current digital lighthouse projects in their specialty. This study aims to examine the changes in attitude and knowledge of the participants before and after the lecture series to gain insights for future curriculum developments.

Method: The lecture series was announced via various channels at the universities, in health newsletters and in social media. Attitudes toward digitalization in medicine were surveyed before and after the lecture series, together with demographic data. The data were analyzed statistically and descriptively for four groups of interest: female medical students, male medical students, faculty members and members from industry and public agencies.

Results: Out of 351 subjects who attended at least 1 lecture, 117 took part in the survey before and 47 after the lectures. Most participants had a positive attitude towards digitalization (85.3%). They improved their self-assessment of their knowledge from 34.4% to 64.7% (p < 0.05). After the lecture series 55.8% of participants considered digital medical applications to be important or very important today and 68.6% in the future.

Conclusion: The study shows that the presentation and discussion of lighthouse projects improves understanding of digitalization in medicine but does not trigger a strong desire for additional further training.

分析医学数字化大学远程学习课程对学生和医护人员的影响。
目的:奥地利的公立医科大学(培养了 11,000 名学生)联合开展了一项公共远程系列讲座,临床医生在讲座中讨论了本专业当前的数字灯塔项目。本研究旨在考察系列讲座前后参与者在态度和知识方面的变化,从而为今后的课程开发提供启示:系列讲座通过大学、健康通讯和社交媒体等各种渠道发布。在系列讲座前后,对参与者对医学数字化的态度以及人口统计学数据进行了调查。对四组受访者的数据进行了统计和描述性分析,这四组受访者分别是医科女生、医科男生、教职员工以及行业和公共机构成员:在至少参加过一次讲座的 351 名受试者中,117 人在讲座前参加了调查,47 人在讲座后参加了调查。大多数参与者对数字化持积极态度(85.3%)。他们对自身知识的自我评估从 34.4% 提高到 64.7%(p 结论):这项研究表明,对灯塔项目的介绍和讨论提高了人们对医学数字化的理解,但并没有引起人们对进一步培训的强烈愿望。

期刊介绍: The Wiener klinische Wochenschrift - The Central European Journal of Medicine - is an international scientific medical journal covering the entire spectrum of clinical medicine and related areas such as ethics in medicine, public health and the history of medicine. In addition to original articles, the Journal features editorials and leading articles on newly emerging topics, review articles, case reports and a broad range of special articles. Experimental material will be considered for publication if it is directly relevant to clinical medicine. The number of international contributions has been steadily increasing. Consequently, the international reputation of the journal has grown in the past several years. Founded in 1888, the Wiener klinische Wochenschrift - The Central European Journal of Medicine - is certainly one of the most prestigious medical journals in the world and takes pride in having been the first publisher of landmarks in medicine.
