I. <\/span>INTRODUCTION<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Telemedicine is defined as delivering healthcare services across distances using telecommunication technology (Waseh & Dicker, 2019). It helps ensure continuity of care for vulnerable patients to address the unique demands on our health system, especially in times of crisis, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, via virtual follow-up. It is also helpful in engaging medical students in training and patient care (Aron et al., 2020).<\/span><\/p>\r\n

During the pandemic, virtual follow-up (VF) home visits were introduced in the integrated family medicine curriculum for Year 4 students. The family medicine curriculum for Year 4 students highlights the significance of comprehending chronic illnesses within the broader framework of the patient’s family and environment via the Follow-up Study of Patients with Chronic Illnesses programme, traditionally conducted through in-person patient visits. This study investigated the challenges faced while conducting virtual follow-up (VF) patient visits amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

II. <\/span>METHODS<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n

A cross-sectional study was conducted via online survey questionnaires upon completing the family medicine posting. The online feedback questionnaires were used to explore the challenges of virtual follow-up (VF) via open-ended questionnaires. All participants were duly informed about the study and obtained their consent. The ethical approval was obtained from the Scientific Ethical Review Committee of the University Tunku Abdul Rahman.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

III. <\/span>RESULTS<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n

In this study, among 49 students from year 4 MBBS, 47 year-four medical students participated in the research, and all the students were aged between 20-24. The students were grouped into 18 groups for VF home visits, each containing 2-3 students. A total of 18 chronic illness patients were virtually followed during the COVID-19 pandemic. <\/span>The challenges and benefits faced by the students during virtual patient follow-up visits were explored via the open-ended questions and shown in Table 1. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

Table 1. The Challenges and Benefits When Conducting Virtual Follow-up Home Visits<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span>IV. DISCUSSION<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Although the experiences of VF visits are challenging, medical students found the experiences valuable. The students found the importance of VF for chronic illness, which made them aware of the challenges and benefits of telemedicine. The challenges were similar to the studies from literature, such as technological difficulties, lack of familiarity with telehealth platforms, lack of access to internet or devices and sufficient internet connection speed, especially with patients with low socioeconomic status, which hinder effective communication and assessment. Moreover, patients with physical, cognitive, and language disabilities may find it hard to use the technology. Another challenge was the inability to perform an in-person clinical examination, and the students found less confidence in evaluating patient conditions through a screen, which impacted the quality of care delivered (<\/span>Cheng et al.<\/i>,<\/span> 2022; Pathipati et al.<\/i>, 2016).<\/span><\/p>\r\n

To overcome these challenges, it is essential to provide comprehensive training focused on telehealth skills to familiarise students with virtual platforms and their functionalities. Additionally, implementing a mentorship programme or clinical attachment with telehealth practitioners guiding medical students during VF visits can foster confidence and communication skills. Encouraging regular feedback sessions will allow students to improve their techniques and address specific concerns in real-time.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

As medical education shifts toward integrating telehealth, understanding the challenges students encounter is essential in preparing the next generation of healthcare professionals. The study identified a range of challenges, including technological barriers, such as unfamiliarity with telemedicine platforms, as well as issues related to patient engagement and communication. Medical students reported difficulties building rapport with patients, which is essential for effective follow-up, and expressed concerns regarding their ability to conduct comprehensive assessments virtually. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

By documenting these challenges, this study contributes to the existing literature by highlighting medical students’ specific hurdles in the VF context. <\/span>While experiencing the challenges, the VF visits allowed students exposed to various acute and chronic patient cases to learn about a holistic approach to managing chronic illness, work with teamwork, and have the opportunity to communicate with the patient and their family members. (<\/span>Cheng et al.<\/i>,<\/span> 2022; Iancu et al., 2020).<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The findings inform educators and curriculum developers of the need for enhanced training programmes focusing on telehealth competencies. Physical follow-up visits have resumed following the pandemic, and a hybrid approach has been embraced to nurture telemedicine concepts and overcome challenges. It recommended medical institutions integrate telemedicine into curricula, ensuring today’s students are prepared for the evolving landscape of medical practice. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span>V. CONCLUSION<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n

In conclusion, challenges exist in conducting virtual follow-up visits for chronic illness patients, targeting educational strategies to mitigate these difficulties. By equipping medical students with the necessary skills and support, healthcare institutions can enhance the effectiveness of virtual follow-ups, ultimately improving patient care and outcomes in a digital healthcare environment. <\/span><\/p>\r\n
