![]() However, there are still several challenges to widespread implementation of telemedicine including the limited performance of parts of the neurological exam, limited technological savvy, fear of loss of a personal connection, or uneasiness about communicating sensitive information. In addition, given the unusual current situation with the COVID-19 pandemic, telemedicine has offered the opportunity to address the ongoing healthcare needs of patients with PD, to reduce in-person clinic visits, and human exposures (among healthcare workers and patients) to a range of infectious diseases including COVID-19. There is a growing evidence of the feasibility of telemedicine, cost and time savings, patients’ and physicians’ satisfaction, and its outcome and impact on patients’ morbidity and quality of life. Telemedicine uses information and communication technologist to overcome geographical barriers and increase access to healthcare services, and it is particularly beneficial for rural and underserved communities, groups that traditionally suffer from lack of access to healthcare. Telemedicine programs are particularly suited to evaluating patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and other movement disorders, primarily because much of the physical exam findings are visual. Keywords: health field students, tele-education, pandemic, effectiveness Applying the various tele-education in the learning process for health-field university students during the COVID-19 Pandemic is suggested. Conclusion Our finding highlighted the positive effect of various tele-education on academic performance among the health-field university students. For studies measuring student satisfaction, one-third showing higher students’ satisfaction among the intervention group compared to the control. For skills performance, there were no studies showing higher skill performance. When comparing to the control group, of fifteen studies intervention studies measuring academic performance, seven studies showed a higher mean score among the intervention group. The tele-education method included e-learning, virtual, and digital learning. Result Published between 20, 22 studies were conducted in developed countries, and 2 studies in developing countries. ![]() Study quality was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) appraisal tool. Studies reporting the academic performance or skills performance or students satisfaction were included. This study aimed to summarize the effectiveness of the-education application among health-fields university students Methods PubMed and EBSCO databases for studies published up to August 2020 were searched. Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has been affecting many aspects including education globally as many countries closed the school temporally. ![]() This method could be incorporated into medical curricula to reduce diagnostic delays. A brief video improved their knowledge substantially, with sustained effects. After watching the video, 78% rated their confidence as a high, and none rated it low. At baseline, 76% of students rated their confidence in recognising dystonia as low. The mean score for students who completed all three questionnaires increased from 7.7 (out of 15) to 12.5 on the immediate-recall questionnaire (p < 0.001), and to 10.1 on the delayed-recall questionnaire (p < 0.001). Of the University of Leeds medical students, 87 (100%), 77 (89%) and 40 (46%) completed the baseline, immediate-recall and delayed-recall questionnaires, respectively. Only one previous study specifically assessed medical students’ knowledge of dystonia whilst five others tested their knowledge of movement disorders, or neurology generally, with some questions on dystonia. We invited medical students at the University of Leeds, UK, to answer 15 multiple choice questions before and immediately after watching the video, and again one month later. ![]() We conducted a systematic review on undergraduate knowledge of dystonia and created an eight-minute video on the condition. We investigated whether a brief educational intervention could improve knowledge of dystonia amongst medical students. Most doctors have limited knowledge of dystonia, a movement disorder that can affect people of all ages this contributes to diagnostic delay and poor quality of life.
