一个新的基于云的工具,ACE-RT,通过促进远程反和技能发展,增强了在低资源环境中的放射治疗轮培训. 尽管在互联网连接方面存在挑战,但该软件证明是可行的,并且可以改善放射治疗教育.
科学领域:
- 医学物理 医学物理
- 辐射瘤学 教育教育 辐射瘤学
- 数字健康数字健康
背景情况:
- 低收入和中等收入国家 (LMICs) 的放射治疗培训受到临床医生短缺和高工作负载的限制.
- 以前用于放射治疗计划的远程审查软件在LMIC中面临实施挑战,原因是IT基础设施和连接不佳.
- 需要可访问的数字学习工具,以改善资源有限的环境中的放射治疗轮技能.
研究的目的:
- 开发和评估一款基于云的新型软件ACE-RT,旨在支持在资源较低的环境中进行放射治疗规划和培训.
- 评估ACE-RT的可行性,可接受性和适当性,以提高放射治疗轮技能.
- 确定在LMICs使用数字学习工具的实施障碍和促进者.
主要方法:
- 与来自加纳,赞比亚和英国的放射治疗专业人员共同设计基于云的ACE-RT软件,重点关注LMIC需求 (带宽,UI,功能).
- 一位放射瘤学顾问和在印尼的实习生对ACE-RT进行了六个月的评估.
- 评估远程反提供,技能发展组合功能和用户体验.
主要成果:
- 该ACE-RT软件为放射治疗计划提供了成功的远程反.
- 顾问和实习生都报告说反的质量和数量有所提高,更容易提供/接收量身定制的反.
- 用户发现投资组合功能对跟踪技能发展有价值;互联网连接性差以及文件出口复杂性是实施的关键障碍.
结论:
- 基于云计算的ACE-RT工具是一个可行的,可接受的和适当的解决方案,用于在资源有限的环境中增强放射治疗轮培训.
- 不稳定的互联网连接仍然是这种数字工具广泛实施的重要障碍.
- 建议进一步开发以优化ACE-RT用于可变的互联网速度,在不同中心进行更广泛的评估.
