Using videoconferencing to deliver a health education program to women health consumers in rural and remote Queensland: an early attempt and future plans.
Full Abstract
Women's Health Queensland Wide, a non-government education and information organisation funded by Queensland Health, used videoconferencing to present a public education seminar on menopausal health to women health consumers across south-west Queensland. A panel of speakers addressed a live audience in a provincial city, with a further 10 sites participating remotely via videoconferencing, each with a local health worker supporting the seminar. Both local and remote audience members were given opportunities to ask questions of the speakers. Audience members were asked to complete feedback forms and their responses are presented. Overall, audience members were very positive about both the content of the event and its method of delivery. They also provided comments relating to the structure of the program, the difficulties of running a live and distant seminar and the needs of remote audiences. Based on this information, Women's Health Queensland Wide has adapted future videoconference seminars to better meet the needs of rural and remote women.
