Background:
Information and technology knowledge is important for the medical and non-medical staff of hospitals,
regardless of their position.
Aim:
To study needs for information and advanced training among medical professionals.
Material and Method:
Using a survey questionnaire, the need for information of medical professionals, as well as the ability
to independently receive and process the information received, was studied. Data was collected
anonymously and obtained informed consent.
Results:
A high need for up-to-date information among doctors was revealed; the willingness to work with
information varied significantly depending on the age of the respondents. When assessing the
possibility of satisfying the information, it was found that the available information support does
not meet the modern requirements of medical workers in reference books and convenient mobile
applications. The lack of commitment of doctors to the principles of evidence-based medicine, most
often due to the difficulty in finding sources, was revealed. The possibilities of training doctors of
different age groups are evaluated.
Conclusion
Organizational solutions are proposed to enhance the professional competencies of psychiatrists
regarding the practical application of legislation.
