The central result is that medical residents generally held more positive views about telemedicine's importance and utility compared to senior/junior consultants, with statistically significant differences on several key points.
This cross-sectional study used an online Likert-scale questionnaire distributed to healthcare professionals in Romania between March and April 2022. The analysis included descriptive statistics and one-way ANOVA to compare mean scores across demographics. Statistically significant differences were observed, with medical residents showing higher agreement than senior/junior consultants on statements about telemedicine's importance (p=0.003), its utility for re-evaluating patients temporarily out of town (p=0.005), and their desire to learn more about it (p<0.0001).
