Abstract

Context The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on health care service and delivery has been profound. In addition to shifting and expanding clinical responsibilities, rapidly evolving information and guidelines during the COVID-19 pandemic has made it difficult for healthcare workers (HCWs) to synthesize and translate COVID-19 information into practice. Objective The objectives of this study are 1) to examine the impact of a telemedicine education program on HCW's self-efficacy and satisfaction and 2) to explore HCWs' experience in the program and context of practice during the COVID-19 pandemic. Study Design We conducted a prospective mixed methods parallel-design study among ECHO COVID participants using pre-post questionnaires and focus group discussions (FGDs). We examined questionnaire results for changes in HCWs' self-efficacy and satisfaction. We analyzed FGD data to explore HCWs' experience in ECHO and the context of their practice during the COVID-19 pandemic. Setting Project Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) model is a virtual, telemedicine education model that provides longitudinal support and addresses the emerging needs of HCWs. "ECHO Ontario: Managing COVID-19 Patients in the Community" (ECHO) was launched in July 2020. The goal of the program was to disseminate best practices regarding COVID-19 as they emerged and to increase HCW confidence and knowledge of COVID-19. Population Studied The study population were practicing HCWs in the province of Ontario, Canada. 1) HCW self-efficacy 2) HCW satisfaction Results Of 299 HCWs registered in ECHO COVID, 114 (38.1%) participated in this analysis. Median self-efficacy scores increased from 5 (IQR 4 - 6) to 6 (IQR 6 - 6) (p < 0.0001), independent of profession, years in practice, age group, or type of practice environment. Participants were highly satisfied with the ECHO sessions with a median score of 4 (IQR 4 - 5). FGD data indicated that HCWs gained knowledge through ECHO, established the context of their practice, and revealed facilitators for ECHO program success, including the transition to virtual care, the practicability of knowledge provided, and a "perspective from the trenches." Conclusions This study demonstrated that a telemedicine education program aimed to support HCWs in managing patients with COVID-19 had a positive impact on self-efficacy and satisfaction, and that this impact was specifically mediated through the ECHO program.

摘要

背景

新冠疫情对医疗保健服务和提供产生了深远的影响。除了转移和扩大临床职责外,新冠疫情期间快速演变的信息和指南使得医疗保健工作者(HCWs)难以综合和翻译新冠信息并将其转化为实践。

目的

本研究的目的是 1)研究远程医疗教育计划对 HCW 自我效能感和满意度的影响,2)探讨 HCW 在新冠疫情期间参与该计划的体验以及实践背景。

研究设计

我们使用前后问卷调查和焦点小组讨论(FGD)对 ECHO COVID 参与者进行了前瞻性混合方法平行设计研究。我们检查了 HCW 自我效能感和满意度变化的问卷结果。我们分析了 FGD 数据,以探讨 HCW 在 ECHO 中的体验以及在新冠疫情期间的实践背景。

设置

项目扩展社区医疗保健成果(ECHO)模型是一种虚拟的远程医疗教育模型,提供纵向支持并满足 HCW 的新兴需求。“安大略省 ECHO:管理社区中的新冠患者”(ECHO)于 2020 年 7 月推出。该计划的目标是传播出现的新冠最佳实践,并提高 HCW 对新冠的信心和知识。

研究人群

在加拿大安大略省执业的 HCW。1)HCW 自我效能感,2)HCW 满意度。

结果

在注册 ECHO COVID 的 299 名 HCW 中,有 114 名(38.1%)参与了此项分析。自我效能感中位数评分从 5(四分位距 4-6)增加到 6(四分位距 6-6)(p < 0.0001),与职业、实践年限、年龄组或实践环境类型无关。参与者对 ECHO 会议非常满意,中位数评分为 4(四分位距 4-5)。FGD 数据表明,HCW 通过 ECHO 获得了知识,建立了实践背景,并揭示了 ECHO 计划成功的促进因素,包括向虚拟护理的转变、所提供知识的实用性以及“从战壕中获得的视角”。

结论

本研究表明,旨在支持 HCW 管理新冠患者的远程医疗教育计划对自我效能感和满意度产生了积极影响,而这种影响是通过 ECHO 计划具体介导的。
