Hazard Ratio01:12

Hazard Ratio

163
The hazard ratio (HR) is a widely used measure in clinical trials to compare the risk of events, such as death or disease recurrence, between two groups over time. It reflects the ratio of hazard rates—the instantaneous risk of the event occurring—between a treatment group and a control group. This measure provides valuable insights into the relative effectiveness of a treatment by assessing how the risk of an event differs between the two groups.
For example, in a clinical trial...

Statistical Software for Data Analysis and Clinical Trials

642
Statistical software is pivotal in data analysis and clinical trials by providing tools to analyze data, draw conclusions, and make predictions. These software packages range from simple data management applications to complex analytical platforms, supporting various statistical tests, models, and simulation techniques. Their significance lies in their ability to handle vast amounts of data with precision and efficiency, enabling researchers to validate hypotheses, identify trends, and make...

Methods of Documentation VII: EMR

867
Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) primarily center around electronically documenting patients' health information within a single healthcare organization or practice. They contain essential clinical data related to a patient's medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, lab results, and other pertinent information relevant to the specific encounter or episode of care. EMRs are designed to streamline documentation and workflow processes within individual healthcare...

Methods of Documentation V: CBE

930
Charting by Exception, or CBE, is a method of documentation used in healthcare, particularly in nursing, that focuses on documenting only significant or abnormal findings rather than recording every detail. This approach aims to streamline the documentation process, improve efficiency, and ensure that healthcare providers can quickly identify deviations from normalcy in patient assessments.
In CBE, healthcare professionals establish predefined standards of practice that define what constitutes...

Introduction to Epidemiology01:26

Introduction to Epidemiology

792
Epidemiology, known as the cornerstone of public health, involves studying the distribution and determinants of health-related events in defined populations and applying these insights to control health issues. This is essential for understanding how diseases spread, identifying populations at greater risk, and implementing measures to control or prevent outbreaks. Epidemiology addresses not only infectious diseases but also non-communicable conditions like cancer and cardiovascular disease,...

Area of Science:

  • Health Professions Education
  • Library and Information Science
  • Allied Health

Background:

  • Health science librarians received increased requests for literature search assistance on health professions education topics.
  • Effective literature searching is crucial for evidence-based practice and education in allied health fields.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the search function and results of eleven bibliographic databases for health professions education topics.
  • To estimate result overlap and relevance across different databases for various target populations.
  • To provide evidence-based recommendations for future literature searching strategies and database selection.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted literature searches using questions representing three allied health instructional target populations: patients, caregivers, and future health professionals.
  • Analyzed search results from eleven bibliographic databases, estimating result overlap and relevance.
  • Examined useful database functions and subject headings to inform recommendations.

Main Results:

  • PubMed and CINAHL databases showed significant overlap but also provided unique citations, supporting the need to search both.
  • Searching both PubMed and CINAHL, plus at least one education-specific database, is recommended for comprehensive coverage.
  • Psychology and sports medicine databases were found to be less productive for the researched educational questions.

Conclusions:

  • A multi-database approach is essential for thorough literature retrieval in health professions education.
  • PubMed, CINAHL, and education-specific databases form a core search strategy.
  • Database selection should be tailored to the specific educational topic and target population to maximize efficiency and relevance.
