In previous "Diabetes Information Technology & WebWatch" columns, various user experience with an interactive educational "virtual diabetes patient" simulator called AIDA have been documented. The simulator is available free of charge from http://www.2aida.org on the Web, and user comments that have been received to date about the program have highlighted some of the many and varied ways in which a range of people have been applying the diabetes simulations in their own particular situations and practices. Inevitably, up to now, a great deal of attention has focused on use by individuals with diabetes and their relatives, as well as by health-care professionals such as diabetologists/endocrinologists and diabetes educators. However, an important group of health-carers involved in the provision of day-to-day care for many people with diabetes are primary care physicians (general practitioners). The current "Diabetes Information Technology & WebWatch" column addresses this area, overviewing a workshop which was held in September 2000 in Italy to gain experience with application of the AIDA diabetes simulation approach as a teaching tool for general practitioners (GPs). Feedback obtained from participants attending the workshop was very positive, with GPs reporting the simulation approach to be both of interest and use. Further workshops involving other healthcare professionals--in particular, nurses--are planned.
在之前的“糖尿病信息技术与网络观察”专栏中，已经记录了各种使用名为AIDA的交互式教育“虚拟糖尿病患者”模拟器的用户体验。该模拟器可从网页http://www.2aida.org免费获取，到目前为止收到的关于该程序的用户评论突出了许多不同的方式，一系列人群在他们自己的特定情况和实践中应用糖尿病模拟。不可避免地，到目前为止，大量注意力集中在糖尿病患者及其亲属以及糖尿病专家/内分泌学家和糖尿病教育工作者等医疗保健专业人员的使用上。然而，参与为许多糖尿病患者提供日常护理的一组重要医疗保健人员是初级保健医生（全科医生）。当前的“糖尿病信息技术与网络观察”专栏涉及这一领域，概述了2000年9月在意大利举行的一次研讨会，以获取将AIDA糖尿病模拟方法作为全科医生（GP）教学工具的应用经验。从参加研讨会者那里获得的反馈非常积极，全科医生报告说模拟方法既有趣又有用。计划举办涉及其他医疗保健专业人员——特别是护士——的进一步研讨会。
