In this study, we explored the involvement of adolescents with chronic health conditions in medical education. We focused specifically on adolescents' desired level of involvement in the education of medical students and residents, strategies for involving them in it, and topics on which they would feel comfortable educating these learners.
We used a community-based participatory research approach and qualitative one-on-one semistructured interviews. Adolescents (ages 13-18) with chronic health conditions lasting >3 months who were admitted on inpatient wards and were well enough to participate in an interview were eligible. Two investigators analyzed the interview transcripts to identify common categories across the interview data.
A total of 17 adolescents participated. Data analysis revealed that adolescents want to be regularly involved in medical education, compensated in some way for their time and effort, and receive support and oversight in their activities. Adolescents discussed the following 5 strategies for involving them in the education of medical students and residents: face-to-face presentations, shadowing and mentoring, videos, handouts and books, and assessment feedback. Adolescents want to educate learners on their experiences and coping strategies as well as on how to interact and develop rapport with adolescents.
The adolescents with chronic health conditions who participated in this study want to be actively involved in medical education and can provide innovative insights and strategies for doing so. However, future researchers need to explore the benefits and limitations of such involvement.
在本研究中，我们探讨了患有慢性健康状况的青少年参与医学教育的情况。我们特别关注青少年在医学生和住院医师教育中期望的参与程度、让他们参与其中的策略，以及他们在教育这些学习者时会感到自在的主题。
我们采用基于社区的参与式研究方法和定性一对一的半结构化访谈。符合条件的是那些患有持续超过3个月慢性健康状况、入住住院病房且身体状况良好足以参与访谈的13至18岁青少年。两名研究人员分析访谈记录，以确定访谈数据中的共同类别。
共有17名青少年参与。数据分析显示，青少年希望定期参与医学教育，因他们的时间和精力得到某种形式的补偿，并在其活动中获得支持和监督。青少年讨论了以下5种让他们参与医学生和住院医师教育的策略：面对面演讲、跟班见习和指导、视频、手册和书籍，以及评估反馈。青少年希望就他们的经历和应对策略，以及如何与青少年互动和建立融洽关系来教育学习者。
参与本研究的患有慢性健康状况的青少年希望积极参与医学教育，并能为此提供创新的见解和策略。然而，未来的研究人员需要探索这种参与的益处和局限性。
