The objective of this project was to obtain students' perception of an educational companion video designed to increase the understanding of a national medicines information resource.
An instructional video was developed to guide students in utilizing the online version of the Australian Medicines Handbook (AMH). All students enrolled in the Bachelor of Pharmacy program during 2021 were given access to this video. A cross-sectional electronic survey was administered to evaluate the video's effectiveness and its impact on students' confidence. The survey results were analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistics, in addition to qualitative analysis to identify common themes. Ethics approval was obtained prior to conducting the study.
Most students (78%; n = 72/92) reported that watching the video increased their understanding. The most growth in confidence was seen by students in their first or second year of study. Fifty-four percent (n = 48/89) of students was very likely or extremely likely to recommend the video to others, and 37% (n = 33/89) of students were somewhat likely. Students found the instructional video to be useful and expressed a desire for similar content to be integrated into other facets of teaching. The audio-visual mode of delivery was regarded as effective for this context. Constructive feedback included suggestions of incorporating more advanced educational features such as how to interpret comparative medication charts and interaction checkers.
The 'How to use the AMH' video is a good introductory resource for undergraduate Australian healthcare students. Our results indicate that this video would be best suited to complement the teaching of students early on in their studies.
本项目旨在了解学生对教育伴侣视频的看法，该视频旨在增加对国家药品信息资源的理解。
开发了一个教学视频，以指导学生使用澳大利亚药品手册（AMH）的在线版本。2021 年所有入读药学学士课程的学生都可以访问该视频。通过横断面电子调查评估视频的有效性及其对学生信心的影响。除了进行描述性和推断性统计分析外，还使用定性分析来确定共同主题来分析调查结果。在进行研究之前获得了伦理批准。
大多数学生（78%；n=72/92）表示观看视频增加了他们的理解。在第一年或第二年学习的学生中，信心增长最大。54%（n=48/89）的学生非常可能或极有可能向他人推荐该视频，37%（n=33/89）的学生有些可能。学生认为教学视频很有用，并表示希望将类似的内容整合到其他教学环节中。视听模式的传递被认为在这种情况下是有效的。建设性的反馈包括建议纳入更多高级教育功能，例如如何解释比较药物图表和交互检查器。
“如何使用 AMH”视频是澳大利亚医学生的良好入门资源。我们的结果表明，该视频最适合补充学生早期学习的教学。
