This study aimed to explore residents' and teachers' perceptions of the digital format of Metis (a national education network in Sweden) didactic courses for psychiatry residents in Sweden to guide post-pandemic curriculum development.
An online attitude survey was developed and sent out to 725 residents in psychiatry and 237 course directors/teachers. Data were examined descriptively and group differences were analysed with independent sample t-tests.
The survey was completed by 112 residents and 72 course directors/teachers. Perceptions of digital formats were quite similar between the two groups with some significant differences i.e., residents agreed more strongly than directors/teachers with the statement that Metis courses in digital format were of the same quality (or better) than the classroom-based format. Residents perceived the positive effects of using interactive tools more than directors/teachers. More than 40% of the responders in both groups preferred a return to classroom-based course meetings. Responders in both groups suggested that different forms of digital elements (e.g., video-based and sound-recorded lectures, digital-group discussions, virtual patients) could be incorporated into different phases in the courses.
The study represents the current largest survey among residents in psychiatry and a teaching faculty in Sweden, to understand the impact of digitalization on the quality of residents' education during the pandemic. The results point towards applying a mixed format for training and education going forward, incorporating digital aspects into the national curriculum.
本研究旨在探讨瑞典精神科住院医师和教师对 Metis（瑞典全国教育网络）的数字格式教学课程的看法，以指导大流行后的课程开发。
开发了一个在线态度调查，并分发给瑞典 725 名精神科住院医师和 237 名课程主任/教师。对数据进行描述性分析，并使用独立样本 t 检验分析组间差异。
该调查由 112 名住院医师和 72 名课程主任/教师完成。两组对数字格式的看法非常相似，但也存在一些显著差异，即住院医师比主任/教师更强烈地认同数字格式的 Metis 课程与课堂格式具有相同（或更高）的质量。住院医师比主任/教师更能感受到使用互动工具的积极影响。超过 40%的两组应答者更喜欢恢复课堂式课程会议。两组应答者都建议可以将不同形式的数字元素（例如，基于视频和录音的讲座、数字小组讨论、虚拟患者）纳入课程的不同阶段。
该研究代表了目前瑞典精神科住院医师和教学教师中最大规模的调查，旨在了解大流行期间数字化对住院医师教育质量的影响。研究结果表明，未来的培训和教育将采用混合格式，将数字方面纳入国家课程。
