Background The COVID-19 pandemic caused a sudden shift towards the use of online teaching method in medical education. This study aims to investigate the knowledge and attitude of medical students towards the online learning of physiology at Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences (AJUMS).
Methods This is a descriptive-analytical study conducted in 2021. The study population consists of all students of the School of Medicine (semesters 2-4) at AJUMS. Data collection tools included a demographic form and a researcher-made questionnaire with a content validity index of 0.80-1 and reliability (Cronbach’s alpha) of 0.937.
Results Among 176 participants, 92 (52.3%) were female and 84 (47.7%) were male, with a mean age of 21.76±1.12 years. The knowledge and attitude of medical students regarding online learning of physiology were relatively favorable and positive. The knowledge and attitude scores were 3.51±0.81 and 4.23±1.07, respectively. The mean knowledge score was significantly different between male (Mean=3.65) and female (Mean= 4.11) students, but there was no significant difference in the attitude score between male (Mean=4.36) and female (Mean=4.11) groups.
Conclusion The knowledge and attitude of medical students of AJUMS regarding the online education of physiology during the COVID-19 pandemic is relatively favorable. The results can be helpful for the studies in the future during health-related critical situations.
