Health Literacy01:21

Health Literacy

5.4K
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...

Fischer Projections

16.5K
Learning to draw Fischer projections of molecules and understanding their relevance plays a crucial role in the visual depiction of organic molecules. A Fischer projection is a two-dimensional projection on a planar surface to simplify the three-dimensional wedge–dash representation of molecules. This is especially helpful in the case of molecules with multiple chiral centers that can be difficult to draw. Here, all the bonds of interest are represented as horizontal or vertical lines. While...

Different notations are used to represent the three-dimensional structure of molecules on two-dimensional surfaces. One of the most commonly used representations is the dash-wedge formula. The dashed wedges, solid wedges, and the plane lines indicate the groups situated behind the plane, coming out of the plane, and in the plane, respectively.
The organic molecules rotate across the single bonds leading to numerous temporary three-dimensional structures of varying energy known as...

Inhaled Medications01:23

Inhaled Medications

792
Inhaled medications are crucial for managing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. They are essential for effective treatment and control, ensuring optimal respiratory health and well-being. Inhaled medication delivers drugs directly to the lungs, providing a rapid onset of action and reducing systemic side effects compared to oral or injectable medications. Three primary types of inhalation devices are used to administer these medications: nebulizers, metered-dose inhalers...

Coordinates and Map Projections01:29

Coordinates and Map Projections

611
Coordinates and map projections are essential tools in accurately representing the Earth's surface for various applications, ranging from navigation to spatial analysis. The latitude and longitude coordinate system is a universally recognized framework for defining locations. Latitude specifies the distance of a point north or south of the equator, measured in degrees from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles. Longitude indicates a location's position east or west of the prime meridian,...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Librarianship
  • Health Sciences Education
  • Medical Informatics

Background:

  • Medical informatics and information literacy are now core competencies.
  • Medical librarians are tasked with teaching these skills, necessitating formal assessment.
  • Existing teaching practices and assessment methods require investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the extent of formalized medical informatics and information literacy course instruction by medical librarians.
  • To ascertain the number of librarians creating formal test questions for these subjects.
  • To gauge interest in developing a collaborative question bank for medical library assessment.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was distributed to osteopathic medical libraries.
  • The survey collected data on course instruction, test question development, and interest in a shared resource.
  • Data was gathered from librarians across three osteopathic universities.

Main Results:

  • The survey identified librarians actively teaching medical informatics and information literacy.
  • It quantified the creation of formal test questions related to these competencies.
  • Interest levels in a shared question bank were assessed.

Conclusions:

  • Medical librarians are integral to teaching essential informatics and literacy skills.
  • Formal assessment methods are being implemented, but standardization may be lacking.
  • A shared question bank could enhance assessment consistency and efficiency for medical libraries.
