WARNING—The Existing Media System May Be Toxic to Your Health: Health Communication and the Politics of Media Reform     

Timothy A. Gibson 《Journal of Applied Communication Research》2013,41(2):125-132

Our physical health depends, at least in part, upon the health of our media environment. Unfortunately, the commercial media system produces countless messages that not only misinform Americans about their health but also actively promote unhealthy behaviors. Rather than taking the existing media system as a given, this commentary argues that health communication scholars should work with media reformers to transform the media system in ways that advance public health goals. In particular, the ongoing regulatory struggle over low-power radio provides an important opportunity for health communication scholars and media reformers to join forces.  相似文献

Teacher Education and the Integration of Technology: a reading and language arts perspective     

Jay Blanchard 《Technology, Pedagogy and Education》2013,22(2):187-198

ABSTRACT

Teachers are increasingly expected to employ integrated technology practices in their classrooms to help students learn more, better, faster and cheaper. Unfortunately, teachers generally have not been provided education or training on how to employ these technology practices. Attempting to get integrated technology practices into pre‐service and in‐service teacher education, especially in reading and language arts, is at the core of this article. An overview of technology integration is provided along with discussions about: (a) goals and content for teacher education courses or training, (b) research on integrating technology into reading and language arts education, (c) integration without education and training, and finally (d) issues that affect integration.  相似文献   

Informationist Education     

Rex R. Robison 《Medical reference services quarterly》2013,32(3):339-347

ABSTRACT

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) funds biomedical research and conducts its own research. One way the NIH Library supports this work is by providing librarians with biomedical training and encouraging them to become embedded with researchers and administrators. Some of these “informationists” have degrees in scientific or health fields, and all engage in ongoing training, mostly through coursework at local institutions and at NIH itself. This article elaborates on the training of NIH informationists. Past research has indicated that patrons welcome librarians with biomedical training, which may in turn lead to greater communication between librarians and researchers.  相似文献   

Assessing the Health Information Needs of Unaffiliated Health Professionals and Using Training on Openly Available Search Tools and Resources to Provide Solutions to Their Information Access Challenges and Barriers     

Konstantina Matsoukas 《Medical reference services quarterly》2013,32(4):391-407

This article will describe a year-long (2010–11) joint project between Columbia University Medical Center's Health Sciences Library and the Institute for Family Health (IFH), a network of Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) serving disadvantaged populations in New York State. This National Institutes of Health-funded pilot project aimed to (a) determine the medical literature and training needs of IFH personnel, (b) develop generic licensing agreements with publishers that would enable a health sciences library to provide access to electronic resources for FQHC personnel, and (c) develop reference/education services for IFH personnel. How the reference and education aims were met will be described and discussed here as the lessons learned from this project may be useful to librarians considering doing instructional outreach to unaffiliated health professionals working at FQHCs nationwide.  相似文献   

Excellent Care for Cancer Survivors: A Guide to Fully Meet Their Needs in Medical Offices and in the Community edited by Kenneth Miller     

Margot Malachowski 《Medical reference services quarterly》2013,32(4):454-455

ABSTRACT

A new librarian offers advice and insights about what she has learned from working at a library within a health science center. The librarian earned her MLIS in spring 2015, and while she had previous teaching experience, she realized there was much more learning needed to properly teach medical, graduate and allied health students, faculty, and residents. In this “one-year on the job” column, the librarian describes the different teaching experiences today’s librarians encounter, and reflects on what she has learned from them and how they shape her view of the profession.  相似文献   

Public Health GIS and the Internet     

《Journal of Map & Geography Libraries》2013,9(1):105-135

Abstract

Internet access and use of georeferenced public health information for GIS application will be an important and exciting development for the nation's Department of Health and Human Services and other health agencies in this new millennium. Technological progress towards public health geospatial data integration, analysis, and visualization of space-time events using the Web portends eventual robust use of GIS by public health and other sectors of the economy. Increasing Web resources from distributed spatial data portals and global geospatial libraries, and a growing suite of Web integration tools, will provide new opportunities to advance disease surveillance, control and prevention, and insure public access and community empowerment in public health decision making. Emerging supercomputing, data mining, and compression and transmission technologies will play increasingly critical roles in national emergency, catastrophic planning and response, and risk management. Web-enabled public health GIS will be guided by Federal Geographic Data Committee spatial metadata, OpenGIS Web interoperability, and GML/XML geospatial Web content standards. Public health will become a responsive and integral part of rhe National Spatial Data Infrastructure.  相似文献   

Health Care Providers' Confidentiality Practices and Perceptions: Expanding a Typology of Confidentiality Breaches in Health Care Communication     

《Qualitative Research Reports in Communication》2013,14(1):45-52

Confidentiality breaches of health information can affect every person who seeks medical care. To better understand this phenomenon, breaches of confidentiality by employees in a health care organization were examined and compared to the perceived confidentiality maintenance actions of the organization's health care providers. The study, using observation and interviews of a health promotion department, supported Brann and Mattson's (2004) typology of confidentiality breaches, provided evidence for another type of communicative breach, and revealed inconsistencies between health care providers' actions and their perceptions of those actions. Future research should address the prevalence of such discrepancies in other health contexts and its impact on patient care.  相似文献   

从需求的视角看区域卫生信息化人才培养     

谭锐 《中华医学图书馆杂志》2013,(11):22-24

根据实施区域卫生信息化背景下需求大与人才少的突出矛盾,指出目前卫生信息人才培养存在培养目标不明确、课程设置缺乏科学性和前瞻性、信息人员普遍存在和实践结合不足的知识短板、缺乏对高端复合型人才的培养从而难以造就未来卫生信息化实践领域领军人才等主要问题.建议高校结合医药卫生体制改革,调查研究卫生信息化＂领军人才＂的培养需求,人才培养重点向区域卫生信息化倾斜,优化专业设置和课程体系,探索高端实用性人才培养模式.通过学校、企业、政府或卫生行业单位联合培养提升就业率,协调相关部门为卫生信息化从业人员创造更有利于个人发展的职业通道.  相似文献
