MANUSCRIPT: Short- and long-term transfer of urethral catheterization skills from simulation training to performance on patients

Background Inexperienced interns are responsible for most iatrogenic complications after urethral catheterization (UC). Although training on simulators is common, little is known about the transfer of learned skills to real clinical practice. This study aimed to evaluate the short- and long-term effects of UC simulated skills training on performance on real

MANUSCRIPT: Computer game-based and traditional learning method: a comparison regarding students’ knowledge retention

Results Students that received the game-based method performed better in the pos-test assessment only when considering the Anatomy questions section. Students that received the traditional lecture performed better in both post-test and long-term post-test when considering the Anatomy and Physiology questions. Conclusions The game-based learning method is comparable to the traditional learning method in general and in

Medical Education: How do you take notes?

Over the past year I have interviewed well more than 100 clinicians and educators to better understand how they learn, and how they employ what I have come to call the four natural learning actions. These structured conversations have been enlightening - and if you are interested in participating in

MANUSCRIPT: User experiences of evidence-based online resources for health professionals: user testing of The Cochrane Library.

BACKGROUND: Evidence-based decision making relies on easy access to trustworthy research results. The Cochrane Library is a key source of evidence about the effect of interventions and aims to "promote the accessibility of systematic reviews to anyone wanting to make a decision about health care". We explored how health professionals found,

ABSTRACT: Searching multiple databases for systematic reviews: added value or diminishing returns?

OBJECTIVE: To explore whether searching specialised bibliographic databases identified additional relevant papers to those located by a Medline search for a systematic review of exercise therapy. METHOD: Searches were performed in Medline, two further generalised medical databases (Embase, Cochrane Library) and four specialised databases (CancerLit, Cinahl, PsychInfo, SportDiscus) to identify controlled trials of

MANUSCRIPT: Developing search strategies for clinical practice guidelines in SUMSearch and Google Scholar and assessing their retrieval performance.

BACKGROUND: Information overload, increasing time constraints, and inappropriate search strategies complicate the detection of clinical practice guidelines (CPGs). The aim of this study was to provide clinicians with recommendations for search strategies to efficiently identify relevant CPGs in SUMSearch and Google Scholar. METHODS: We compared the retrieval efficiency (retrieval performance) of search strategies
