[Attitudes toward digital tools in pain medicine : Survey of German Pain Society health professional members and members of self-help groups].
Digital medicine has increasing influence on the German healthcare system. In times of social distancing during the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, digital tools enable health professionals to maintain medical care. Furthermore, digital elements have potential to provide effective guideline-oriented treatment to a broad range of patients independently from location and time. This survey was used to assess the attitudes of members of the German Pain Society (health professionals) and of associated self-help groups (patients) towards digital medicine. It was sent out as an online survey to health professionals in September 2020 and to patients in February 2021. The survey referred especially to present usage, attitude and potential concerns regarding particular digital elements. Furthermore, technical affinity was assessed. In total, 250 health professionals and 154 patients participated in the survey. The results show that-although digital elements are already known-a substantial proportion of health professionals still lack broad transfer to regular treatment. The potential of digital tools seems to be recognized by both groups; interestingly, patients consider digital medicine as more useful than health professionals. Nevertheless, concerns about for example data security or digital competence remain in both groups. Taken together, our results indicate that disruptive changes, as the implementation of digital medicine in the healthcare system, have to be guided by intense education and channeled by political policies in order to successfully integrate digital elements into medicine on a long-term basis. This would be in favor for all involved parties and is demanded especially by patients.
