The irrational use of medicines remains prevalent globally despite education efforts, leading to decreased treatment quality and increased healthcare costs. With the rise of online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, virtual simulation offers a promising solution to enhance the teaching of rational medicine use among medical students. This study aimed to investigate medical students' perspectives and needs regarding the implementation of virtual simulation in learning the rational use of medicines.
This study, conducted at Universitas Indonesia from August 2022 to September 2023, used a mixed-method approach to assess the needs for developing virtual simulation in education of rational medicine use. A validated questionnaire with 14 closed-ended and 14 open-ended questions was completed by 281 medical students. The quantitative data were analysed descriptively, using SPSS v16, while thematic analysis was applied to open-ended responses.
Students perceived virtual simulations to be the most effective tool for distance learning and suggested features like case scenarios, realistic representation, a good user interface, and user-friendly navigation. The majority preferred a 10-20-minute duration for virtual simulations. Additionally, 52.3% had no prior knowledge of the rational use of medicines, but acknowledged its importance. Virtual simulations could be used to explain the concept, management, and implementation of the rational use of medicines.
Virtual simulation should be implemented in distance learning on rational medicine use to increase students' motivation, understanding, retention, interactivity, and focus. The findings might be utilized by medical educators to tailor virtual simulation design to meet medical students' needs and expectations.
尽管进行了教育努力，但全球药品不合理使用现象仍然普遍，导致治疗质量下降和医疗成本增加。随着新冠疫情期间在线学习的兴起，虚拟模拟为加强医学生合理用药教学提供了一个有前景的解决方案。本研究旨在调查医学生对在合理用药学习中实施虚拟模拟的看法和需求。
本研究于2022年8月至2023年9月在印度尼西亚大学进行，采用混合方法评估在合理用药教育中开发虚拟模拟的需求。281名医学生完成了一份经过验证的问卷，其中包括14个封闭式问题和14个开放式问题。定量数据使用SPSS v16进行描述性分析，而对开放式回答则应用主题分析。
学生们认为虚拟模拟是远程学习最有效的工具，并建议具备病例场景、逼真呈现、良好的用户界面和用户友好的导航等功能。大多数人倾向于虚拟模拟的时长为10 - 20分钟。此外，52.3%的学生此前对合理用药没有了解，但承认其重要性。虚拟模拟可用于解释合理用药的概念、管理和实施。
应在合理用药的远程学习中实施虚拟模拟，以提高学生的积极性、理解能力、记忆力、互动性和注意力。医学教育工作者可利用这些研究结果来调整虚拟模拟设计，以满足医学生的需求和期望。
