摘要

Introduction: Despite achieving many of the Millennium Development Goals spearheaded by theUnited Nations to eradicate poverty by 2015, there still exists a shortage of skilled health personnel, inlow- and middle- income countries. Increasing reliance on mid-level health workers is essential, inorder to ensure adequate healthcare coverage and provision to underserved communities (WHO,2008). However, serious challenges exist including lack of updated training in primary care clinicalskills amongst existing healthcare trainers compounded by persistence of outmoded practices (WHO,2008).Background: Skills training is complicated by a shortage of expert trainers as well as remotely locatedtrainee workers, including nurses in primary care. Continued professional training of practical skillsincluding evidence-based safe practices, for instance, to assist births in remote communities is evenmore critical for health quality improvement in less economically developed countries. Globally,internet penetration and cellular networks have steadily expanded, allowing distance learning tobecome a more feasible mode of education. At the same time, many bold initiatives in technologyenhancedlearning have given rise to pedagogical developments such as virtual classrooms andmulticasting incorporating better video and streaming capture technologies.Objectives: This study was conducted to critically review distance learning technologies in healtheducation and in particular, teaching of practical skills through distance education. Methods: Anextensive literature review was conducted regarding the implementation of distance learning forpractical skills training among healthcare workers. The search involved the CINAHL, AMED andMEDLINE electronic databases using search terms: “distance learning OR training OR education”, “elearning”,“learning outcomes”, “practical OR skills” and “health workers”.Results and Discussion: The review extracted over 6000 articles from databases under analysis buteventually narrowed to only four papers based on a combination of keywords as filters and relevanceto health education. Studies highlighting the use of distance learning technologies for health educationtheory showed that such technologies are equivalent, or even superior, to traditional mediums ofteaching. Hence, technology-enhanced learning, e.g. videoconferencing, needs to be progressivelyharnessed to educate remote healthcare workers, especially for such critical fields as clinical curativeprimary care. Yet, the literature search through electronic databases established very few studiesfocused on the use of distance learning in the practical teaching of clinical skills for this group ofworkers.Conclusion: Considering this notable gap in the literature, there is a pressing need for future researchand development to focus on practical skills training via distance education so that 21st centurytechnologies can be utilised to upskill health workers in socially disadvantaged and isolated locations.
