BACKGROUND AND AIMS
Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a rapidly developing tool within the medical landscape, globally aiding in diagnosis and healthcare management. However, its integration within healthcare systems remains varied across different regions. In Sudan, there exists a burgeoning interest in AI potential applications within medicine. This study aims to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of AI applications in medicine among physicians in Sudan.
METHODS
The authors conducted a web-based survey cross-sectional analytical study using an online questionnaire-based survey regarding demographic details, knowledge, attitudes, and practice of AI distributing through various e-mail listings and social media platforms. A sample of 825 Physicians including doctors in Sudan with different ranks and specialties were selected using the convenient non-probability sampling technique.
RESULT
Out of 825 Physicians, 666 (80.7%) of Physicians have previous knowledge about AI. However, only a small number 123 (14.9%) were taught about AI during their time in medical school, even fewer, just 120 (14.5%) had AI-related lessons in their training program. Regarding attitude, 675 (81.8%) agree that AI is very important in medicine, almost the same number, 681 (82.6%) support the idea of teaching AI in medical schools. Practically, 535 (64.8%) of doctors, think that should get special training in using AI tools in healthcare. Excitingly 651 (78.9%) of physicians are interested in working with AI in future. Based on different ranks of doctors toward AI; Medical Officers exhibited the highest proportion at (32.7%) of knowledge and understanding of AI concepts, followed by House Officers at (16.7%) (=0.076); regarding attitude, Medical Officers demonstrated the highest (31.6%) favorable attitude, followed by House Officers at (17.5%) (=0.229); In practice also, Medical Officer showed the highest portion (28.0%) among participants (=0.129).
CONCLUSION
While there is a positive attitude and some level of AI practice, there remains a considerable gap in knowledge that needs addressing.
背景与目的
人工智能（AI）已成为医学领域中迅速发展的工具，在全球范围内辅助诊断和医疗管理。然而，其在医疗系统中的整合在不同地区仍存在差异。在苏丹，人们对AI在医学中的潜在应用兴趣日益浓厚。本研究旨在评估苏丹医生对AI在医学中应用的知识、态度和实践情况。
方法
作者开展了一项基于网络的横断面分析研究，使用在线问卷进行调查，内容涉及人口统计学细节、AI知识、态度以及通过各种电子邮件列表和社交媒体平台进行的AI实践情况。采用方便非概率抽样技术，选取了825名医生作为样本，包括苏丹不同职级和专业的医生。
结果
在825名医生中，666名（80.7%）医生此前了解AI。然而，医学院学习期间仅有少数123名（14.9%）医生接受过AI相关教学，在培训项目中接受过AI相关课程的更少，仅120名（14.5%）。在态度方面，675名（81.8%）医生认同AI在医学中非常重要，几乎同样数量的681名（82.6%）医生支持在医学院教授AI的想法。在实践方面，535名（64.8%）医生认为应接受使用AI工具的特殊培训。令人兴奋的是，651名（78.9%）医生未来有兴趣与AI合作。基于医生对AI的不同职级情况；医务人员对AI概念的知识和理解比例最高，为（32.7%），其次是住院医生，为（16.7%）（P=0.076）；在态度方面，医务人员表现出最高的（31.6%）积极态度，其次是住院医生，为（17.5%）（P=0.229）；在实践中，医务人员在参与者中所占比例也最高，为（28.0%）（P=0.129）。
结论
虽然存在积极态度和一定程度的AI实践，但在知识方面仍存在相当大的差距需要解决。
