“…The reading comprehension difficulty of the questionnaire was measured using the Flesch reading score and the Flesch-Kincaid grade level. 16 An a priori grade level of 12 or less was set due to the various technology names used in the survey instrument. The Flesch reading ease score was 42.9, which equates to a grade 11 Flesch-Kincaid reading level.…”

Objective. To assess the frequency of use by and perceived impact of various educational technologies on student pharmacists. Methods. Data were obtained using a validated, Web-based survey instrument designed to evaluate the frequency of use and impact on learning of various technologies used in educating first-, second-, and third-year student pharmacists. Basic demographic data also were collected and analyzed. Results. The majority (89.4%) of the 179 respondents were comfortable with the technology used in the academic program. The most frequently used technologies for educational purposes were in class electronic presentations, course materials posted on the school Web site, and e-mail. The technologies cited as having the most beneficial impact on learning were course materials posted on the Web site and in-class electronic presentations, and those cited as most detrimental were video-teleconferencing and online testing. Compared to the course textbook, students reported more frequent use of technologies such as electronic course materials, presentations, digital lecture recordings, e-mail, and hand-held devices. Conclusions. Because students' opinions of educational technologies varied, colleges and schools should incorporate educational technologies that students frequently use and that positively impact learning.

“…Our manipulation of fluency targets message structure and is informed by the Flesch‐Kincaid Reading Ease Scale. This scale is commonly used to measure how easy it is to read written messages, ranging from technical manuals for military equipment to insurance contracts (Kinkaid, Braby, and Mears ; Walfish and Watkins ). Readability is reflected in terms of a score that ranges from 0 (very easy to read) to 100 (very difficult to read).…”

Voluntary policy compliance is an important yet rarely studied topic in public administration. To address the paucity of research, this article proposes and empirically tests a conceptual framework that ties policy transparency and policy understanding to voluntary policy compliance intentions. The reasoning is that the extent to which citizens understand a policy contributes to their intentions to comply with that policy. Further, the authors argue that policy transparency indirectly influences voluntary policy compliance intentions through a positive effect on citizens' levels of policy understanding. To enhance the validity of the findings, the authors assess these relationships across two policy domains. The findings reflect an indirect positive effect of transparency on voluntary compliance occurring through policy understanding. However, this emerged only for one policy domain. These results suggest that the effects of policy transparency on policy understanding and voluntary policy compliance intentions may depend on the policy domain.Acknowledging these important gaps in transparency and compliance research, the objective of this article is to examine how government transparency shapes citizens' voluntary policy compliance. As we will explain in greater detail later, voluntary policy compliance can be understood as citizens' willingness to comply with a government request related to a particular policy. In addressing our research objective,

“…Florida requires that life insurance policies have a Flesch reading ease score of 45 or greater. (15) After designing the questionnaire of the current study, Flesch reading ease score was applied through an online calculator. Our text scale measured 73.4 indicating that the module is fairly easy to read.…”

“…Prescribing or ordering wrong doses by physicians (65.7%) and noncompliance with administration sequences during chemotherapy administration (50.5%) were the most common errors. The most common estimated average monthly error was not following the administration sequence of the chemotherapeutic agents (4.1times/month, range [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. The most important underlying reasons for medication errors were heavy workload (49.7%) and insufficient number of staff (36.5%).…”

Introduction:Many pharmaceutical aspects are crucial for cancer drugs efficacy as proper dosing schedules, medical contraindications, proper methods and timing of administration, proper preparations and storage procedures, drug interactions and dose relation to meals in oral drugs. Medication related errors were a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Medication errors were estimated to account for more than 7000 deaths annually.
