Sažetak
The number of information in medicine permanently increases. It is therefore very difficult for someone who deals with primary health care (PHC) to follow and to choose inform ation what one needs and what is really important. The other problem is that many information are published in foreign languages and in publications which are not easily available even in larger cities. A new system of continuing education focusing on PHC according to laws in Croatia in cludes all three of the following services: pharmaceutical, medical and stomatological. The major goal of the new educational system was an improvement of communications between health care units for PHC. The system does not follow a traditional school model. Videotapes which deal with different titles (i.e., Antibiotics in medicinal practice, Can we without boric acid?, Interaction of drugs. Insulin - What is This?, Diabetic nutrition, First Aid, Poisonous gas. etc.) were used in continuing education of pharmacists in the following manner: i) video as an independent educational unit, ii) video as an illustration, iii) video as a stimulus for group discussion, and iv) video as assistant in training of skills. The results of this type of education were: i) the active interest of participants ; ii) the specific interest of the users more oriented toward contents than form ; iii) volunteered participation of the large number of health practitioners as the authors of educational materials ; iv) problem solving methodology adequate to expectat ions of participants, accepted as interesting and stimulating educationa l tool. All consumers agreed that education by using video has advantages over the classical educational methods. The main disadvantage was the possibility of passive following items and difficulties in activating the audience to take part in it.
