Abstract

This study used a questionnaire to examine how academic staff members in Greece and Cyprus feel about the changes in undergraduate medical education during the COVID-19 pandemic. In general, e-learning was not considered an adequate way of teaching and was less enjoyable. Participants aged 31-40 years experienced more (P = .001), while staff in higher academic ranks less difficulty (P < .001) in adjustment. There was a small increase in workload, which was higher among respondents researching into COVID-19 (P = .001). During the pandemic, daily screen use >6 h was increased from 28.8% to 57.5%. The majority (74.2%) stated that scientific and educational training opportunities were not affected by the pandemic. In conclusion, the pandemic has induced important changes in undergraduate medical education. This new condition was considered adequate but not pleasant, with younger faculty members being more burdened.

大流行病期间的本科医学教育：希腊和塞浦路斯的教职员工有何感想？

本研究采用问卷调查的方式，考察希腊和塞浦路斯的学术人员对 COVID-19 大流行期间本科医学教育的变化有何看法。总体而言，电子学习被认为不是一种适当的教学方式，而且不太令人愉快。年龄在 31-40 岁之间的参与者感受更深（P = .001），而学历较高的教职员工感受较浅（P = .001）。在大流行期间，每天使用屏幕超过 6 小时的比例从 28.8% 增加到 57.5%。大多数人（74.2%）表示科学和教育培训机会没有受到大流行病的影响。总之，大流行给本科医学教育带来了重要变化。人们认为这种新的状况是适当的，但并不令人愉快，年轻教员的负担更重。
