The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused an unprecedented disruption in medical education and healthcare systems worldwide. The disease can cause life-threatening conditions and it presents challenges for medical education, as instructors must deliver lectures safely, while ensuring the integrity and continuity of the medical education process. It is therefore important to assess the usability of online learning methods, and to determine their feasibility and adequacy for medical students. We aimed to provide an overview of the situation experienced by medical students during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to determine the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of medical students regarding electronic medical education. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with medical students from more than 13 medical schools in Libya. A paper-based and online survey was conducted using email and social media. The survey requested demographic and socioeconomic information, as well as information related to medical online learning and electronic devices; medical education status during the COVID-19 pandemic; mental health assessments; and e-learning knowledge, attitudes, and practices. A total of 3,348 valid questionnaires were retrieved. Most respondents (64.7%) disagreed that e-learning could be implemented easily in Libya. While 54.1% of the respondents agreed that interactive discussion is achievable by means of e-learning. However, only 21.1% agreed that e-learning could be used for clinical aspects, as compared with 54.8% who disagreed with this statement and 24% who were neutral. Only 27.7% of the respondents had participated in online medical educational programs during the COVID-19 pandemic, while 65% reported using the internet for participating in study groups and discussions. There is no vaccine for COVID-19 yet. As such, the pandemic will undeniably continue to disrupt medical education and training. As we face the prospect of a second wave of virus transmission, we must take certain measures and make changes to minimize the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on medical education and on the progression of training. The time for change is now, and there should be support and enthusiasm for providing valid solutions to reduce this disruption, such as online training and virtual clinical experience. These measures could then be followed by hands-on experience that is provided in a safe environment.

COVID-19大流行对医学教育的影响:医学生关于电子学习的知识,态度和实践

2019年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行已导致全球医学教育和医疗系统受到前所未有的破坏。该疾病可能会危及生命,并给医学教育带来挑战,因为讲师必须安全地讲课,同时还要确保医学教育过程的完整性和连续性。因此,重要的是评估在线学习方法的可用性,并确定其对医学生的可行性和充分性。我们的目的是概述在COVID-19大流行期间医科学生的状况,并确定医科学生有关电子医学教育的知识,态度和实践。对来自利比亚13所医学院校的医学生进行了横断面调查。使用电子邮件和社交媒体进行了纸质在线调查。调查要求提供人口统计和社会经济信息,以及与医学在线学习和电子设备有关的信息;COVID-19大流行期间的医学教育状况;精神健康评估;以及电子学习知识,态度和做法。总共检索了3348份有效问卷。大多数受访者(64.7%)不同意在利比亚容易实施电子学习。54.1%的受访者同意通过电子学习可以实现互动式讨论。但是,只有21.1%的人同意将电子学习用于临床,而不同意这一说法的人为54.8%,中立的为24%。只有27岁。在COVID-19大流行期间,有7%的受访者参加了在线医学教育计划,而有65%的受访者表示使用互联网参加了研究小组和讨论。目前尚无用于COVID-19的疫苗。因此,大流行无疑将继续破坏医学教育和培训。面对第二波病毒传播的前景,我们必须采取某些措施并进行更改,以最大程度地减少COVID-19爆发对医学教育和培训进程的影响。现在是变革的时候了,应该提供支持和热情,以提供有效的解决方案以减少这种干扰,例如在线培训和虚拟临床经验。在采取这些措施之后,可以在安全的环境中提供动手经验。而有65%的人报告使用互联网参加研究小组和讨论。目前尚无用于COVID-19的疫苗。因此,大流行无疑将继续破坏医学教育和培训。面对第二波病毒传播的前景,我们必须采取某些措施并进行更改,以最大程度地减少COVID-19爆发对医学教育和培训进程的影响。现在是变革的时候了,应该提供支持和热情,以提供有效的解决方案以减少这种干扰,例如在线培训和虚拟临床经验。在采取这些措施之后,可以在安全的环境中提供动手经验。而有65%的人报告使用互联网参加研究小组和讨论。目前尚无用于COVID-19的疫苗。因此,大流行无疑将继续破坏医学教育和培训。面对第二波病毒传播的前景,我们必须采取某些措施并进行更改,以最大程度地减少COVID-19爆发对医学教育和培训进程的影响。现在是变革的时候了,应该提供支持和热情,以提供有效的解决方案以减少这种干扰,例如在线培训和虚拟临床经验。在采取这些措施之后,可以在安全的环境中提供动手经验。不可否认,大流行将继续破坏医学教育和培训。面对第二波病毒传播的前景,我们必须采取某些措施并进行更改,以最大程度地减少COVID-19爆发对医学教育和培训进程的影响。现在是变革的时候了,应该提供支持和热情,以提供有效的解决方案以减少这种干扰,例如在线培训和虚拟临床经验。在采取这些措施之后,可以在安全的环境中提供动手经验。不可否认,大流行将继续破坏医学教育和培训。面对第二波病毒传播的前景,我们必须采取某些措施并进行更改,以最大程度地减少COVID-19爆发对医学教育和培训进程的影响。现在是变革的时候了,应该提供支持和热情,以提供有效的解决方案以减少这种干扰,例如在线培训和虚拟临床经验。在采取这些措施之后,可以在安全的环境中提供动手经验。我们必须采取某些措施并进行更改,以最大程度地减少COVID-19爆发对医学教育和培训进度的影响。现在是变革的时候了,应该提供支持和热情,以提供有效的解决方案以减少这种干扰,例如在线培训和虚拟临床经验。在采取这些措施之后,可以在安全的环境中提供动手经验。我们必须采取某些措施并进行更改,以最大程度地减少COVID-19爆发对医学教育和培训进度的影响。现在是变革的时候了,应该提供支持和热情,以提供有效的解决方案以减少这种干扰,例如在线培训和虚拟临床经验。在采取这些措施之后,可以在安全的环境中提供动手经验。
