Abstract

BACKGROUND

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in ophthalmology represents a transformative leap in healthcare. AI-powered technologies, such as machine learning and computer vision, enhance the accuracy and efficiency of ophthalmic diagnosis and treatment.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to determine medical students' awareness and attitudes towards the use of artificial intelligence in ophthalmology.

METHODS

This cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study was conducted between November 2022 and January 2023 using online questionnaires. Data collection was carried out using convenience sampling among medical students at the University. IBM SPSS version 23 was used to analyze the data.

RESULTS

The current finding shows that most of the participants =309 (89.6%) had heard of the use of AI in medicine, and =294 (85.2%) heard of the use of AI in ophthalmology. 98.6% (=340) of respondents believed AI would be a helpful tool in ophthalmology. Along this line of questioning, a significant majority of respondents, 332 (96.2%) selected screening, 332 (96.2%) selected diagnosis, and 293 (84.9%) selected prevention as a usage of AI ophthalmology. However, the majority, 76.5%) of students had little understanding of the development of AI in ophthalmology. In addition, a significant relationship between sex, academic year, cumulative GPA (cGPA), and awareness of AI in ophthalmology (<0.001) was found in this study.

CONCLUSIONS

Overall, medical students in Saudi Arabia appear to have favorable thoughts about AI and positive perceptions towards AI in ophthalmology. However, the findings of this study emphasize the limited understanding and low confidence levels of medical students in Saudi Arabia regarding the use of AI in ophthalmology. As a result, early exposure to AI-related materials in medical curricula is crucial for addressing these challenges through comprehensive AI education and practical exposure to prepare future ophthalmologists.

摘要

背景

人工智能（AI）在眼科领域的应用代表了医疗保健领域的一次变革性飞跃。机器学习和计算机视觉等人工智能驱动的技术提高了眼科诊断和治疗的准确性和效率。

目的

本研究旨在确定医学生对眼科领域使用人工智能的认识和态度。

方法

本横断面研究于2022年11月至2023年1月期间通过在线问卷进行。采用便利抽样法在该大学的医学生中收集数据。使用IBM SPSS 23版对数据进行分析。

结果

目前的研究结果显示，大多数参与者=309人（89.6%）听说过人工智能在医学中的应用，=294人（85.2%）听说过人工智能在眼科中的应用。98.6%（=340）的受访者认为人工智能将是眼科领域的一个有用工具。在这一系列问题中，绝大多数受访者，332人（96.2%）选择筛查，332人（96.2%）选择诊断，293人（84.9%）选择预防作为人工智能在眼科中的用途。然而，大多数学生（76.5%）对眼科人工智能的发展了解甚少。此外，本研究发现性别、学年、累积平均绩点（cGPA）与对眼科人工智能的认识之间存在显著关系（<0.001）。
