| Abstract | : | Background: Electrocardiogram (ECG) has become a crucial examination in the management of cardiac emergencies. Accordingly, improvement of ECG interpretation skills is mandatory for general practitioners as the front-liners in emergency cases. The Mobile ECG application was developed as mobile learning media to facilitate continuing improvement of ECG interpretation skills. This study aimed to investigate the impact of the Mobile ECG application toward ECG interpretation skills of general practitioners and medical students and evaluate its usability. Methods: A pilot observational study was conducted in a 1-week timeframe using the Mobile ECG application. Subjects were recruited through consecutive sampling. They met the following criteria: 1) registered as general practitioners or medical students, 2) completed the basic ECG pre and post-tests, and 3) agreed to participate in the study. The Mobile ECG is a web-based application which consists of modules, quizzes, and gallery of ECG interpretations. Pre and post-test analysis and system usability scale (SUS) questionnaire were used to evaluate the impact and usability of the application. Results: A total of 252 subjects were recruited and 80.2% were general practitioners. There was a significant increase in post-test scores compared to pre-test (p=0.000) for all subjects. General practitioners significantly gained more score increment than medical students (1.08 vs 0.16, p=0.001). Based on the SUS score of 67.5, the application was marginally accepted by the users. Conclusion: To conclude, the implementation of the Mobile ECG application did improve basic ECG interpretation skills. According to the SUS score, this application still needs improvement. |
