Health Literacy01:21

Health Literacy

5.5K
Health literacy is an individual's or a community's capacity to comprehend, receive, read, and use relevant healthcare information and services. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2018) defines health literacy as the cognitive and social skills that determine the ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. As a result, the WHO helps individuals manage long-term health concerns, participate in preventative...

Longitudinal Research

13.5K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Longitudinal Studies

569
Longitudinal studies are also widely used in other medical and social science fields. For instance, in cardiovascular research, they can monitor patients' health over decades to identify risk factors for heart disease, such as high cholesterol or smoking, and evaluate the long-term effectiveness of preventive measures. Similarly, in mental health studies, researchers might follow individuals from adolescence into adulthood to understand the development and progression of conditions like...

The Availability Heuristic01:08

The Availability Heuristic

7.1K
A heuristic is a general problem-solving framework (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974). You can think of these as mental shortcuts that are used to solve problems. Different types of heuristics are used in different types of situations, and the impulse to use a heuristic occurs when one of five conditions is met (Pratkanis, 1989):

Types of Biopharmaceutical Studies: Controlled and Non-Controlled Approaches

500
Biopharmaceutical studies constitute a vital field aiming to enhance drug delivery methods and refine therapeutic approaches, drawing upon diverse interdisciplinary knowledge. In research methodologies, the choice between controlled and non-controlled studies significantly influences the study's reliability and accuracy.
Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast,...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Librarianship
  • Health Sciences Education
  • Academic Medicine

Background:

  • Numerous health sciences libraries in U.S. academic institutions have ceased operations since the mid-1990s.
  • The closure of hospital-based libraries may affect the daily workflow and educational support for physicians.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of a hospital health sciences library closure on affiliated academic physicians.
  • To understand the specific challenges and consequences faced by physicians and trainees after library cessation.

Main Methods:

  • A pilot study was conducted involving academic physicians affiliated with a teaching hospital that closed its health sciences library.
  • A brief survey was administered to fourteen faculty members, yielding thirteen usable responses.

Main Results:

  • The closure resulted in attending physicians and trainees requiring additional time to perform tasks previously managed by library staff.
  • Key services lost, including expert literature searches, instructional support, journal access, and interlibrary loans, significantly impacted participants.
  • Physicians reported increased time burdens for information retrieval and resource management.

Conclusions:

  • The closure of hospital health sciences libraries imposes a significant time burden on physicians and trainees.
  • The loss of specialized library services negatively affects the efficiency and potentially the quality of medical education and practice.
  • Further research is essential to ascertain the long-term effects on physician education and the implications for healthcare delivery.
