Purpose: This study aimed to examine optometrists’ awareness of the enforcement of license registration and participation in continuing education, as well as the quality of online continuing education.
Methods: Questionnaires regarding optometrists’ recognition of the enforcement of their license registration and changes in their recognition concerning participation in continuing education after such enforcement, as well as the quality of online continuing education, were administered to optometrists who participated in continuing education in 2019 held by the Optics Society of the Korean Optometric Association, in Chungcheongnam-do.
Results: Although 95.2% of the subjects recognized license registration, 63.5% reported no change in the recognition of participation in continuing education after its enforcement. User satisfaction related to sub-domains of online continuing education quality was the highest (3.30), while service quality was the lowest (3.16). There were high levels of correlation among all sub-domains of online continuing education quality; job relation, in particular, had the highest positive correlation with perceived usefulness (r=0.86). The score of online continuing education quality was higher in the group with changes in recognition of participation in continuing education after the enforcement of license registration than in the group without such changes.
Conclusions: The results showed that most optometrists in this study recognized license registration and that quality of online continuing education had an effect on their recognition of participation in continuing education. It is considered necessary to attempt to enhance the quality of future online continuing education held by the Optics Society, by examining optometrists’ needs.
