Summary
Technology in health professions education (HPE) often claims improvement, but true transformation is rare. Most research focuses on substitution or augmentation, lacking theoretical grounding for pedagogical change.
Area of Science:
- Educational Technology
- Health Professions Education
- Pedagogical Transformation
Background:
- Technology is widely adopted in health professions education (HPE) with purported benefits.
- The actual transformative impact of technology on HPE remains uncertain.
- This study investigates the transformative potential of learning technology in HPE.
Purpose of the Study:
- To understand the transformative capacity of learning technology in health professions education.
- To analyze current research on technology's role in HPE transformation.
- To identify gaps in the application of technology for educational change in HPE.
Main Methods:
- Literature synthesis of high-impact HPE journals (10 years) and PubMed-indexed journals (3 years).
- Categorization of research using the Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, Redefinition (SAMR) model.
- Analysis of theoretical justification for pedagogical improvement in technology-focused HPE studies.
Main Results:
- Most sampled research focused on technology for substitution or augmentation of learning.
- Few studies utilized technology for modification or redefinition of HPE.
- A significant lack of theoretical justification for pedagogical improvement, including transformation, was noted.
Conclusions:
- The next phase for HPE requires robust technology use aimed at transformation.
- Technology integration must be guided by transformational educational theory and pedagogical context.
- HPE practitioners and scholars are urged to intentionally drive educational transformation through technology.

01:21Health Literacy
4.1K
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...

01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis
1.6K
The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.

1.8K
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...

01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation
1.3K
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

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,...
