Abstract

The awareness of health care providers, particularly physicians, towards telemedicine is pivotal to its development. In this study we distributed questionnaires among Libyan physicians attending a medical symposium on telemedicine, held in the period 28 February-1 March, 2005. The sample comprised 28 males and 13 females from different specialties and from different parts of the country. Most reported being confused (53.7%) or unaware (14.6%) regarding telemedicine before the symposium. Afterwards, 12.2% were confused, 39.0% showed excellent understanding and 48.8% reported fair understanding; 97.6% supported the implementation of telemedicine in the country and appreciated the importance of establishing remote health services.

摘要

医疗保健提供者，尤其是医生，对远程医疗的认知对其发展至关重要。在本研究中，我们向参加2005年2月28日至3月1日举行的远程医疗医学研讨会的利比亚医生发放了问卷。样本包括来自该国不同地区、不同专业的28名男性和13名女性。大多数人报告称，在研讨会之前对远程医疗感到困惑（53.7%）或不了解（14.6%）。之后，12.2%的人感到困惑，39.0%的人表现出极佳的理解，48.8%的人报告有较好的理解；97.6%的人支持在该国实施远程医疗，并认识到建立远程健康服务的重要性。
