Area of Science:

  • Health Professions Education
  • Medical Education Research
  • Quantitative Literacy in Healthcare

Background:

  • Health numeracy, or numerical literacy, is essential for healthcare providers to make informed health decisions.
  • Effective patient-provider communication and evidence-based medicine rely heavily on numeracy skills.
  • Despite its importance, many healthcare professionals exhibit suboptimal numeracy skills, even with advanced education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a scoping review of existing numeracy skills education programs for healthcare providers.
  • To explore and summarize the current landscape of numeracy education interventions in healthcare training.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search was performed across 10 databases from January 2010 to April 2021.
  • Included studies focused on human, adult numeracy education for healthcare providers or trainees, detailing methods, evaluation, and results.
  • A total of 71 articles were selected from over 31,000 initial results.

Main Results:

  • Interventions primarily targeted university students (nursing, medical, pharmacy) and resident physicians.
  • Commonly taught numeracy concepts included statistics, medication calculations, evidence-based medicine, research methodology, and epidemiology.
  • Teaching modalities frequently combined active (workshops, group exercises) and passive (lectures) approaches, with outcomes measured in knowledge, skills, self-efficacy, attitudes, and engagement.

Conclusions:

  • Existing educational efforts for healthcare provider numeracy require enhancement.
  • Increased focus on developing robust numeracy skills is necessary for clinical decision-making, evidence-based practices, and patient communication.
  • Variability in teaching methods, competencies, and reported effectiveness highlights a need for standardized, impactful numeracy training programs.
