The high incidence of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and the resulting increase in data and information in this area have led medical centers to use different methods to manage them due to the huge amount of information. One of the best ways to avoid confusion in documenting and managing health information is to use new information tools such as ontology. Researchers have used a tool around the world since the late 1990s to support decision-making in various fields. In this regard, the National Center for Biomedical Ontology has established a medical ontology database called BioPortal. In the present research, published ontologies in the field of Covid-19 in this database have been explored.
Aim: This study was conducted to determine the usability of the rapid response team (RRT) electronic medical records (EMRs) system at an Abu-Ali-Sina organ transplant hospital, Shiraz, Iran. Method: This cross-sectional study was carried out in partnership with 25 direct members of RRT includes nurses and anesthesia technicians who were on the shift during the data collection for two months. To evaluate, the Questionnaire for User Interaction Satisfaction (QUIS) version 7 was used. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 19. Results: A total of 20 out of 25 questionnaires were obtained. Seven (25.0 %) of 27 sections were higher than seven, and all areas were higher than five. The highest rankings were for 1) reading characters on the computer screen 2) highlighting on the screen simplify task 3) overall reactions: wonderful and learning to operate the system. Conclusion: This study demonstrates the usability of the hospital RRT for the EMRs system and over the moderate. However, the flexibility and capability of the rapid response for EMRs tool require to be improved.
Results: Based on the results, 56% of HISs users in the surveyed hospitals were somewhat satisfied, with the total average of all scores being equal to 2.8 from 5. The results suggested that the highest scores were found for the criterion of "controllability," while the lowest scores were associated with "suitability for individualizations" and "self-descriptiveness," respectively. Conclusion: The HISs users' satisfaction was considered relatively desirable in terms of functionalities factors. Therefore, user-friendliness, flexibility, and web-based capabilities are suggested as the most important requirements that must be taken into account for enhancing usability and adoption of HISs.
Introduction The present study aimed to identify the puberty related information seeking behaviour of adolescent female members of Zarrinshahr public libraries. Methodology Using a phenomenology approach, this study sought to identify the puberty related information seeking behaviours for a population of female adolescent public library patrons located in the Middle East. The data were collected via event based interviews and the samples were selected by purposeful sampling method. After converting the audio to text, the transcripts were imported into MAXQDA 10, they were coded and then, the relevant categories were extracted. Results The information needs of girls experiencing puberty were identified and divided into four thematic categories: health issues, psychological issues, religious issues (religious precepts), and issues related to physical activity. Girls get this information from a variety of resources such as people, the Internet, social networks, documents, and libraries. The process of information seeking is so problematic for them because they are faced with content, family, social, and financial barriers and mainly lack Internet literacy and search skills. Conclusion Health information seeking constitutes the main part of adolescent girls’ daily lives. Identification of adolescent girls’ health information needs, the main channels of information seeking, and the barriers the girls face while information seeking can help public libraries adopt the right policies regarding the provision of health information services.
OBJECTIVES: Involving the patients in health-related decisions requires high health literacy. Health literacy is related to the concept of information literacy through its emphasis on information skills. Hence, the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between information literacy and health literacy. STUDY DESIGN: We carried out an original research. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is an applied research that is carried out in a survey method. The statistical population of this study is MSc and PhD students at School of Health Management and Information Science in Iran University of Medical Sciences who were selected by stratified random sampling. A standard health literacy questionnaire including access dimensions, reading skills, comprehension, evaluation, decision-making, and application of health information was used to assess the health literacy status of the students. To measure information literacy, the questionnaire includes identifying information needs, locating information, organizing information, and evaluating information were used. The data were analyzed by tests of one-sample t -test, Pearson correlation, and simple linear regression with spss software version 18 produced by IBM located at New York. RESULTS: The results showed that the level of information literacy among students was higher than the average level. The average of information literacy rate in the sample is 49.09. In this regard, the most frequent information is gained from the internet, interacting with friends, and asking practitioners and health workers. In addition, there is a positive and significant relationship between all dimensions of information literacy with health literacy and information literacy affects 35.4% of health literacy changes. CONCLUSIONS: It can be said that information literacy is a predictor of health literacy. Furthermore, the pattern of people's health information has moved to new information environments and to improve health having sufficient information seeking and information literacy skills are essential.
