ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: The spread of COVID-19 has made it difficult to provide training in medical treatment in a radiation disaster. In this study, we will examine the effects and challenges of using a hybrid approach that combines online and face-to-face components. METHODS: Five face-to face and 25 online medical staff participated in the training program. This program was conducted by using multiple cameras with live coverage, and protective clothing and decontamination kits to the participants in advance were sent so they could experience face-to-face and online learning at the same time. RESULTS: Participants reported a high level of satisfaction and achievement with the style of delivery, as well as problems such as fatigue due to long hours and dissatisfaction with the debriefing. CONCLUSIONS: In designing new online training, it is necessary to consider the quantity and content of the program, and take participant fatigue into consideration.
