| Sumario: | Objective: The aim of this study is to explore general practice staff perspectives regarding a teaching concept based on instructional videos for conducting DR screenings. Furthermore, this study aims to investigate the competencies acquired by the staff through this teaching concept. Design and setting: Qualitative cross-sectional study conducted in general practice clinics in the North Denmark Region. Method: A teaching concept was developed based on instruction videos to teach general practice staff to conduct diabetic retinopathy screenings with automated grading through artificial intelligence. Semi-structured interviews were performed with 16 staff members to investigate their perspectives on the concept and acquired competencies. Results: This study found no substantial resistance to the teaching concept from staff; however, participants' satisfaction with the methods employed in the instruction session, the progression of learning curves, screening competencies, and their acceptance of a known knowledge gap during screenings varied slightly among the participants. Conclusion: This study showed that the teaching concept can be used to teach general practice staff to conduct diabetic retinopathy screenings. Staffs' perspectives on the teaching concept and acquired competencies varied, and this study suggest few adjustments to the concept to accommodate staff's preferences and establish more consistent competencies.
