The so-called poster exhibition is an established element of medical meetings which often receives little attention. The aim of this study was to analyze the organization, acceptance and value of poster exhibitions.
Interview based study conducted during the annual meeting of a German specialist medical conference. A total of 247 attendees, poster authors and "poster chairpersons" were interviewed. Attendance at poster exhibitions was documented, the poster review and award process analyzed, and abstracts assessed for redundancy of presentation.
Participation in poster exhibitions was very low. Despite this, their scientific value was esteemed high by young authors and the poster chairpersons. Almost a third (29.4%) of posters had been displayed at other meetings. Several attendees (55.4%) and poster presenters (49.1%) say they would welcome the opportunity for personal one-on-one discussion at the poster in addition to poster viewing.
The option of additional personal discussion with the poster presenter may lead to an increase of the rather modest participation of attendees at poster exhibitions. Poster exhibitions are of value in particular for young scientists and poster chairpersons.
所谓的海报展览是医学会议的一个既定元素,但往往很少受到关注。本研究的目的是分析海报展览的组织、接受程度和价值。
在德国专家医学会议的年会上进行基于访谈的研究。总共采访了 247 名与会者、海报作者和“海报主席”。记录了海报展览的出席情况,分析了海报评审和颁奖过程,并评估了摘要是否存在重复展示的情况。
海报展览的参与率非常低。尽管如此,年轻作者和海报主席仍然高度评价它们的科学价值。近三分之一(29.4%)的海报曾在其他会议上展示过。一些与会者(55.4%)和海报展示者(49.1%)表示,他们希望除了观看海报外,还有机会在海报旁进行个人一对一的讨论。
与海报展示者进行额外的个人讨论的选择可能会增加海报展览与会者的参与度,尽管这种参与度相当低。海报展览对年轻科学家和海报主席特别有价值。
