Abstract

In medically vulnerable areas in Korea, public health doctors play a significant role in providing not only general medical care but also emergency medical services to the local residents. However, it has been observed that public health doctors generally lack field experience, resulting in insufficient ability to handle emergency patients and to effectively use medical equipment. This study confirmed the effectiveness of education after conducting remote education using smart glasses on how to use medical equipment necessary for public health doctors. Specifically, real wear was used for smart glasses for medical equipment utilization education, and 10 public health officials in 10 islands in Shinan-gun were targeted. After the training, both the effect of using the equipment and the level of satisfaction were 3 or higher. Therefore, it was confirmed that remote education using smart glasses can be usefully used for public health doctors in medically vulnerable areas.

국내 의료취약지에서 공중보건의는 지역민의 일반의료는 물론 응급의료에서 큰 역할을 수행하고 있다. 그러나 공중보건의는 일반적으로 현장 경험이 부족하기 때문에 응급 환자에 대한 대처 능력이 부족하고, 의료장비를 효과적으로 다루지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 공중보건의에게 필요한 의료장비에 대한 사용법을 스마트 글래스를 이용하여 원격교육으로 진행 후 교육의 효과를 확인하였다. 구체적으로 의료장비 활용 교육을 위해서 스마트 글래스는 리얼웨어를 사용하였으며, 신안군 10개의 섬 지역 공중보건의 10명을 대상으로 하였다. 교육 후 장비 활용 효과와 만족도 모두 3점 이상이었다. 따라서 스마트 글래스를 활용한 원격교육이 의료취약지의 공중보건의를 대상으로 유용하게 활용될 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다.
