Health Literacy01:21

Health Literacy

5.1K
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...

Bioavailability Study Design: Healthy Subjects Versus Patients

91
Bioavailability studies are essential for evaluating a drug's therapeutic efficacy and understanding its absorption patterns under various physiological conditions. Conducting such studies on target patient populations provides more relevant data by simulating real-world disease states. However, practical challenges often necessitate the use of young, healthy adult volunteers as study subjects.Patients may exhibit altered drug absorption patterns due to the effects of the disease itself,...

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

164
Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...

Measurement of Bioavailability: Pharmacodynamic Methods

153
Pharmacodynamic methods provide insights into a drug's effects on physiological processes over time and play a crucial role in understanding bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy. These methods can be broadly classified into acute pharmacological and therapeutic response approaches, each with distinct mechanisms and applications.The acute pharmacological response method directly correlates a drug's physiological effects, such as ECG or pupil diameter changes, to its time course in the body.

Current Trends in Nursing II

3.3K
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Bioavailability Enhancement: Determination and Conceptual Approaches in Overcoming Bioavailability Problems

112
Body:Bioavailability is a critical pharmacological concept that measures the extent and rate at which an active drug ingredient or therapeutic moiety enters the systemic circulation, remaining unchanged. It's a pivotal factor in determining a drug's efficacy and safety.The Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) plays an essential role in drug development by categorizing drugs into four classes based on their solubility and permeability. This classification aids in understanding drug...

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Education
  • Digital Health Literacy
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Limited understanding exists regarding pharmacy students' technology proficiency.
  • Digital natives may not inherently possess advanced digital health literacy skills.
  • Assessing technology skills is crucial for evolving pharmacy practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore pharmacy students' self-rated digital health literacy in British Columbia.
  • To identify opportunities for technology training in pharmacy education and practice.
  • To understand the implications of technology use on future pharmacy curricula.

Main Methods:

  • Mixed methods design utilizing online surveys (eHEALS) and semi-structured interviews.
  • Survey administered to 2nd to 4th-year pharmacy students at the University of British Columbia.
  • Quantitative and qualitative thematic analysis of collected data.

Main Results:

  • Most pharmacy students demonstrated lower-than-expected digital health literacy.
  • Students reported challenges in evaluating online health resources and confidence in using them for decision-making.
  • Participants expressed a desire for more technology-related training integrated into their curriculum.

Conclusions:

  • Significant gaps in pharmacy students' understanding of technology were identified.
  • Current pharmacy curricula may not adequately address essential digital health literacy skills.
  • Further research is needed on regional differences and practicing pharmacists' digital health literacy.
