Integrating Informatics Competencies into the Curriculum at TCOM Daniel E. Burgard, MSLIS, AHIP Catherine Rhodes, MLIS June 2005
2
Informatics in the Curriculum Orientation Year 1 Year 2 Years 3 & 4 Residencies
3
Clinical Skills Clerkship 2 weeks MS III Problem-based scenario Pre- and post-test Competencies
4
Objectives Improve students search skills Improve librarians teaching Assess PBL as learning model
5
Competencies Ability to... recognize info need construct an effective search query select appropriate database use search interface effectively manipulate and retrieve search results
6
Measures Set combination Explode vs focus Limiting results MeSH specificity Using MeSH
7
Measures Searching with MeSH vs. keyword MeSH as main point Emailing results Search history with results Saving search for later
8
Problem-based Learning Problems arising from typical situation No up-front instruction Scenario creates a learning situation Build knowledge from problem solving
9
Learning Activities Search scenario 3 sequential segments MEDLINE review Pre- and post-test
10
Search scenario Three part, timed release MEDLINE searching (Ovid) Patient ed searching Email results to librarian Include search history
11
Scenario Excerpt
13
Review Session Instruction after scenario searching Proper methods of searching MEDLINE and locating reliable patient education information Common searching mistakes Demonstration of correct techniques
14
Terminology Problems No Explode - 7 Explode - 52 Big difference in retrieval for emotions.
15
Not Exploding = Missed Articles
17
Combination Problems Psa and Mass Screening = 103
18
Combination Problems Ovid MEDLINE requires boolean operators
19
Combination Problems Talking nice to Ovid MEDLINE doesnt help.
21
The Single Best Starting Point for Patient Education Info MedlinePlus medlineplus.gov
23
Healthy Web Sites: Evaluation Criteria: Currency Credentials Content Disclosure Privacy/security Accreditation/Seal of Approval
24
Awards
25
Holding it Together in the Face of Adversity Award
27
Pre- and Post-Test Self-reported search knowledge survey Anonymous numbers Linked to actual search performance Camtasia
28
Records screen activity User initiated Opt out Librarian review Counterpoint to self-reported skill
29
Camtasia Sample Observed performance
30
Pre- and Post-Test Survey
31
MEDLINE Test Search What is the evidence for preferring watchful waiting over the use of antibiotics for treating otitis media in pediatric populations? -- search for articles where antibiotics is a main focus -- articles must be in English -- save your search temporarily on Ovid to re-run later
32
Pre-Test
33
Post-Test
34
Areas of improvement how to include search history in email 1.462.961.5 importance of MESH headings1.662.911.25 how to find patient ed materials1.702.931.23 how to add comments to email1.452.661.21 use MESH headings1.752.901.15 how to email results1.832.961.13 difference between and/or1.822.861.04 PrePost Diff
35
Results Perceived competence higher than demonstrated competence Initial perception of the level of their searching skills was greater than performance of those skills for the sample search. The pre -survey perceptions = post -intervention observed performance PBL is effective The intervention was effective in raising: self-reported knowledge demonstrated skills Students and librarians like PBL
36
However... After the intervention... Students believed that their searching skills had improved to a far greater extent than what was actually demonstrated in the second search attempt post-intervention.
38
Student Feedback Most useful: Searching on own with final review session Real-life scenario Repetition of skills required by time- released case Least useful: Lack of initial instruction Busywork Nothingall was useful
39
Conclusions Students have limited ability to judge their own MEDLINE skills Problem-based learning raises both perceived and actual searching skill levels.
40
Conclusions Librarians should continue to instruct students in MEDLINE and to refine their teaching to help close the gap between perceived and actual skills.
