Area of Science:

  • Health Professions Education
  • Digital Health
  • Medical Informatics

Background:

  • Continuous medical education is vital for quality healthcare.
  • Sub-Saharan Africa faces disparities in healthcare education access between urban and rural areas.
  • E-learning offers potential for educational content distribution but relies on learner engagement and infrastructure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess knowledge, attitude, practice, and infrastructure access related to e-learning among Ethiopian healthcare professionals.
  • Focus on primary healthcare settings to understand specific challenges and opportunities.

Main Methods:

  • Quantitative, questionnaire-based cross-sectional study conducted in April 2023.
  • Utilized a knowledge, attitudes, and practice framework with added infrastructure assessment.
  • Logistic regression analysis applied to sociodemographic factors.

Main Results:

  • Over half of participants felt confident in e-learning understanding and online searches (52%).
  • Higher education and income correlated with better knowledge, practice, and infrastructure access.
  • Internet use is common (daily use by 43.2%), primarily via smartphones (67.3%), but barriers include limited availability and cost.
  • Women showed lower practice and infrastructure access scores.

Conclusions:

  • Ethiopian healthcare professionals have a positive attitude towards e-learning despite mixed knowledge.
  • Limited access to devices and reliable internet hinders widespread e-learning adoption.
  • Investment in digital infrastructure and targeted digital education programs, especially for women and lower-income groups, is recommended.
  • E-learning programs should be optimized for smartphone accessibility.
