Summary
Digital learning resources effectively teach knowledge, attitudes, and skills for safe prescribing. This review confirms digital learning
Area of Science:
- Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics Education
- Medical Education Technology
Background:
- The European Association for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics (EACPT) recommends digital learning resources (DLRs) to modernize prescribing education.
- The efficacy of digital methods for teaching complex prescribing skills remains uncertain.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the impact of various digital learning resources (DLRs) on clinical pharmacology and therapeutics education.
- To assess the effectiveness of digital learning in teaching prescribing knowledge, skills, and behaviors.
Main Methods:
- Systematic literature search across PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, ERIC, and CENTRAL databases.
- Inclusion of 65 articles analyzing the effects of DLRs on patient outcomes, skills, behavior, and knowledge acquisition.
- Qualitative analysis to derive recommendations for future DLR development.
Main Results:
- All 19 studies on knowledge acquisition reported positive effects.
- Eight of 11 studies on skills and behavior demonstrated positive outcomes.
- No direct effects on patients were detected in the six studies that investigated them.
Conclusions:
- Digital learning is effective for imparting knowledge, attitudes, and skills essential for safe and effective prescribing.
- DLRs show promise in enhancing clinical pharmacology and therapeutics education.
- Ten recommendations were formulated for the future development of DLRs.

In statistics, several tools are used to interpret the data. Measures of central tendency represent the characteristics of the data, such as mean, median, and mode. Additionally, measures of variance like standard deviation and range are used to find the spread of data from the mean. Relative standing measures the distance between data locations. Commonly used measures of relative standings are percentile, z score, and quartiles.

Data are individual items of information obtained from a population or sample. Data may be classified as qualitative (categorical), quantitative continuous, or quantitative discrete. Because it is not practical to measure the entire population in a study, researchers use samples to represent the population. A random sample is a representative group from the population chosen by using a method that gives each individual in the population an equal chance of being included in the sample. Random...

14.6K
Scientists always try their best to record measurements with the utmost accuracy and precision. However, sometimes errors do occur. These errors can be random or systematic. Random errors are observed due to the inconsistency or fluctuation in the measurement process, or variations in the quantity itself that is being measured. Such errors fluctuate from being greater than or less than the true value in repeated measurements. Consider a scientist measuring the length of an earthworm using a...

12.7K
Sampling is a technique to select a portion (or subset) of the larger population and study that portion (the sample) to gain information about the population. Data are the result of sampling from a population. The sampling method ensures that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population. Because measuring the entire population in a study is not practical, researchers use samples to represent the population of interest.

The atomic mass of an element varies due to the relative ratio of its isotopes. A sample's relative proportion of oxygen isotopes influences its average atomic mass. For instance, if we were to measure the atomic mass of oxygen from a sample, the mass would be a weighted average of the isotopic masses of oxygen in that sample. Since a single sample is not likely to perfectly reflect the true atomic mass of oxygen for all the molecules of oxygen on Earth, the mass we obtain from this...
