ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Online educational resources are criticized as being teacher-centred, failing to address learner's needs. Needs assessments are an important precursor to inform curriculum development, but these are often overlooked or skipped by developers of online educational resources due to cumbersome measurement tools. Novel methods are required to identify perceived and unperceived learning needs to allow targeted development of learner-centred curricula. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the feasibility of performing a novel technique dubbed the Massive Online Needs Assessment (MONA) for the purpose of emergency haematology online educational curricular planning, within an online learning community (affiliated with the Free Open Access Medical education movement). METHODS: An online survey was launched on CanadiEM.org using an embedded Google Forms survey. Participants were recruited using the study website and a social media campaign (utilizing Twitter, Facebook, Blogs, and a poster) targeting a specific online community. Web analytics were used to monitor participation rates in addition to survey responses. RESULTS: The survey was open from 20 September to 10 December 2016 and received 198 complete responses representing 6 medical specialties from 21 countries. Most survey respondents identified themselves as staff physicians (n = 109) and medical trainees (n = 75). We identified 17 high-priority perceived needs, 17 prompted needs, and 10 topics with unperceived needs through our MONA process. CONCLUSIONS: A MONA is a feasible, novel method for collecting data on perceived, prompted, and unperceived learning needs to inform an online emergency haematology educational blog. This methodology could be useful to the developers of other online education resources.

ABSTRACT

Rationale and key points This article encourages nurses to use Twitter to engage in professional discussions, share information and raise awareness of alternative views to enhance practice and patient care. Twitter is an online social media service that enables users to send and read 140-character messages called tweets. ¼ Twitter is free and accessible across multiple platforms and devices, providing immediate contact with professionals, organisations and the public worldwide. ¼ Many healthcare professionals use Twitter to share ideas and information. ¼ Responsible use of Twitter creates opportunities to access information, discuss issues and challenge misconceptions to support professional nursing behaviours. Reflective activity 'How to' articles can help update your practice and ensure it remains evidence based. Apply this article to your practice. Reflect on and write a short account of: 1. How you could develop your use of Twitter for professional learning and interaction with healthcare professionals and others. 2. How you could support a colleague to use Twitter for the first time.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: conocer el perfil internauta de las gestantes de dos centros de salud con el fin de desarrollar un blog materno-infantil con contenidos de alto interés. Material y métodos: estudio descriptivo longitudinal de gestantes con fecha probable de parto de entre el 1 de mayo de 2014 y el 31 de marzo de 2015, con seguimiento de su embarazo y revisiones pediátricas del bebé en dos centros de salud urbanos. Se analizaron variables sociodemográficas y datos sobre frecuencia de uso de Internet, modalidades y expectativas. Resultados: se analizaron 101 cuestionarios. Edad media de las embarazadas: 32,64 años. El 53,8% fueron primíparas, el 37,6% tenía ya un hijo y el 8,7% dos o más. El 2,2% sin estudios, el 10,8% estudios primarios, el 43% secundarios y el 44,1% universitarios. El teléfono fue el dispositivo más utilizado. El 79,6% utilizaban Internet a diario. El nivel de estudios y la edad de la madre influyeron en el uso de determinados dispositivos y en la frecuencia de acceso. Los motivos principales para usar Internet fueron el correo electrónico y la búsqueda de información sobre salud. Los temas más consultados fueron maternidad, alimentación y estilos de vida. Más de la mitad buscan información en Internet antes o después de la consulta. A la mayoría les gustaría que su matrona, enfermera o pediatra utilizara nuevos canales de información y comunicación. Conclusiones: se observa un elevado uso de Internet para consultar problemas de salud entre las gestantes, especialmente las que tienen estudios superiores y menos de 30 años. Las primigestas muestran elevado interés en recibir información. Está justificado desarrollar herramientas de formación y comunicación sanitaria, como los blogs sanitarios (AU)


Objectives: to assess the web-user profile in pregnant women from two primary care centers with the intention of developing high interest blog contents. Methods: descriptive study of 101 pregnant women who gave birth between May 2014 and March 2015 and attended routine post-partum and pediatric visits. Results: a total of 101 surveys were analyzed. The mean age was 32.64 years. In parity groups 53.8% were nulliparous, 37.6% second birth, 8.7% third birth or more. 13% had a low education level, 43% medium (secondary studies) and 44.1% high education level. Devices utilized were 88.2% smartphone, 82.6% personal computer, 65.6% tablet and 52.7% family computer. A 79.6% used the Internet every day. The level of education along with the age of the mother influences the use of certain devices and the frequency of internet access. Main uses were email and browsing health information. Most viewed topics were motherhood, food and lifestyle. More than half frequently looked for information before or after visiting the doctor or nurse. The majority of women are willing to communicate and receive information with/from the caregiver by new channels such as blogs, social media, etc. especially in primigravid women. Conclusions: pregnant women frequently use the Internet to consult about health problems, specially those with high level of education and aged under 30. Primigravid women are the most interested. This experiment supports further development of education and communication tools such as health-related blogs (AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo general. Evaluar la repercusión de la difusión de los contenidos del blog «Enfermería Basada en la Evidencia» a través un perfil personal de Facebook. Metodología. Estudio descriptivo transversal. Se hizo llegar vía web un enlace a la encuesta online (previamente pilotada) a una población de 2132 perfiles de Facebook que mantenían una relación de «amistad» con el perfil de carácter divulgativo estudiado. La encuesta contaba con ocho ítems relacionados con el tipo de perfiles conectados al perfil de estudio y su interacción con el blog que representa; y se realizó un estudio descriptivo de las variables mediante el paquete estadístico SPSS 19. Resultados. Respondieron 473 personas. El 75,9% de la muestra tiene un perfil en Facebook de carácter personal y en un 94,1% de los casos están interesados en las prácticas basadas en la evidencia. El 55,6% conoce el blog; además el 46,5% contestó que lo leía ocasionalmente, frente al 17,1% que lo hacía regularmente y el 35,7% que señarla no leerlo. De los lectores, el 75,75% dice haber mejorado sus conocimientos en cuanto a las prácticas basadas en la evidencia tras su lectura. El 88% comentó no seguir el blog por otro medio o red social y en el caso de que sí se haga, los medios mas utilizados son Google Reader, NetworkedBlogs y Twitter. Conclusiones. La lectura de los contenidos del blog mejora los conocimientos en cuanto a prácticas basadas en evidencias de los «amigos» del perfil social, tal y como ellos mismos refieren. La adecuación del perfil social como herramienta de difusión parece ser correcta si bien es necesario investigar en profundidad el funcionamiento de las redes sociales(AU)

ABSTRACT

Los blogs se han convertido en una potencial fuente de información y formación en Medicina, en general, y en Pediatría, en particular, máxime en el actual entorno sanitario de la “web social”. La experiencia personal de los autores en relación con el blog Pediatría basada en pruebas ha permitido analizar el interés temático de los lectores del blog, así como los flujos de comunicación en el entorno de la “blogosfera” pediátrica española. Se analizan las 1311 entradas publicadas en el blog Pediatría basada en pruebas durante el periodo de revisión (de mayo de 2008 a septiembre de 2012), con un estudio pormenorizado de las 105 entradas que han recibido más de 1000 visitas. Los temas que más interesan a los lectores del blog Pediatría basada en pruebas se concentran en seis grupos: 1) enfermedades infecciosas (gripe, meningitis, sepsis, sarampión, varicela, vacunas, etc.); 2) Perineonatología (temas de la gestación y del recién nacido, algunos volcados en dos secciones ya consolidadas como Propositus y Neo-Dividencias); 3) temas sociales (tabaquismo, accidentes, inmigración, acoso escolar, etc.); 4) guías e informes de sociedades científicas; 5) secciones ya establecidas del blog (con cinco consolidadas: Propositus, Neo-Dividencias, Formación e Información en Pediatría, Resumen de la blogosfera pediátrica y Cine y Pediatría), y 6) polémicas (temas de especial debate social y/o médico y que corresponden con los más comentados, y donde se incluyen temas como el aborto, la circuncisión neonatal, grupos antivacunas, mala praxis sanitaria, etc.). Teniendo en cuenta que el entorno de los blogs ya es considerado por la propia Asociación Española de Pediatría como una fuente de información fiable, nuestro compromiso en el blog es construir esta información de la mejor forma posible. Y la mejor forma posible inicial es conocer la dinámica de nuestros lectores y, con ello, y sin dejar de ser rigurosos y éticos, podemos (y debemos) plantear como válida esta forma de transmitir formación e información a nuestros colegas de profesión, a pacientes y familias, y a la sociedad en general (AU)


Blogs have become a potential source of information and training in medicine in general and in pediatrics in particular, especially in the present health care environment in the social web. The authors’ personal experience relating to the blog Pediatría basada en pruebas has made possible to analyze the readers’ interests, as well as the communication movements around the Spanish pediatric blogosphere. The 1311 public entries from May 2008 to September 2012 are analyzed, with a detailed study of the 105 posts with more than 1000 visits. The subjects that interest the most to the readers of Pediatría basada en pruebas blog gather around six groups: 1) infectious diseases (flu, meningitis, septicemia, measles, chickenpox, vaccinations, etc.); 2) peri-neonatology (pregnancy and newborn subjects, some of them issued in two established sections named Propositus and Neo-Dividencias; 3) social subjects (smoking, injuries, immigration, bulling, etc.); 4) guidelines and reports of scientific societies; 5) established sections in the blog (five of them consolidated: Propositus, Neo-Dividencias, Training and Information in Pediatrics, Pediatric blogosphere summary and Cinema and Pediatrics; 6) controversies (subjects of special social and/or healthcare debate, that are the more commented ones and include subjects such as abortion, newborn circumcision, anti-vaccination groups, medical malpractice, etc.). Taking into account that blogs are already considered by the Spanish Pediatrics Association itself as a source of information, our compromise with the blog is to build this information in the best possible way. And the initial best possible way is to know our readers’ dynamics, and therefore staying rigorous and ethical, we can (and should) consider valid this way of transmitting training and information to our colleagues, patients and families, and to society in general (AU)
