Continuing medical education (CME) informs physicians on current research. The Concussion Awareness Training Tool (CATT) provides education on concussion diagnosis and treatment. The aims of this study were to explore physician CME practices and preferences, understand barriers and facilitators to implementing the CATT as CME, and provide recommendations.
MATERIALS & METHODS: Physicians in British Columbia, Canada participated in an online survey and telephone interview. Descriptive analysis of quantitative data, and text-based data analysis were undertaken to identify themes.
Barriers included lack of time and awareness of the resource. Facilitators were its ease of use, accessibility, conciseness and comprehensiveness.
The perceptions of barriers and facilitators reported by physicians are important to understand and better promote the use of the CATT.
继续医学教育(CME)使医生了解当前的研究情况。脑震荡意识培训工具(CATT)提供有关脑震荡诊断和治疗的教育。本研究的目的是探讨医生的继续医学教育实践和偏好,了解将CATT作为继续医学教育实施的障碍和促进因素,并提出建议。
加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省的医生参与了一项在线调查和电话访谈。对定量数据进行描述性分析,并进行基于文本的数据分析以确定主题。
障碍包括时间不足和对该资源缺乏了解。促进因素是其易用性、可及性、简洁性和全面性。
医生报告的对障碍和促进因素的看法对于理解和更好地推广CATT的使用很重要。
