Data were gathered via semi-structured, face-to-face interviews. Content analysis was applied to the data. The results were reported using the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research (COREQ).Results: Two themes emerged: 'Floundering patients'; 'Lackadaisical patients'. First theme involved four subthemes: 'An enormous unmet need for information'; 'The information source: The doctor'; 'Communication issues'; 'Preferences'. Second theme included two subthemes: 'Dependence on doctor' and 'Dependence on others'.Discussion: Theme one revealed that patients found it difficult to evaluate the health information and assumed the doctor was the prime source of information, rather than other health professionals who might help provide the necessary education and counselling. Theme two was 'lackadaisical patients', who failed to access information, communicate with the healthcare provider, evaluate information, or take a role in the decision-making process due to their complete trust in doctors and informal caregivers.Conclusion: These results suggested that nurses should play a role in the improvement of patients' health literacy, with the help of health information professionals.","PeriodicalId":47580,"journal":{"name":"Health Information and Libraries Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144334150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Clinical staff were recruited via poster advertising with quick-response (QR) code registration. Groups were facilitated for 8 months.Results: Between January 2019 and August 2023, six CAT groups were established. Four groups completed critical appraisal, progressing to translate the research findings to inform clinical practice. Progression paused in two groups, with outcomes reporting to follow.Discussion: CATs can galvanise health professionals' database searching, evidence retrieval, and critical appraisal; particularly those less familiar with these processes. Group members must commit to deliverables, especially with challenging workforce shortfalls where CAT groups could be designated as optional activities.Conclusions: Outcomes depend on the adequacy of critical appraisal skills and the involvement of skilled facilitators. Long-term, a strategy to cultivate new facilitators through training may ensure scale-up for new groups.","PeriodicalId":47580,"journal":{"name":"Health Information and Libraries Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144318371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were collected through semi-structured interviews aligned with the study objectives. The health literacy framework proposed by Squiers et al. (The health literacy skills framework, Journal of Health Communication, 17 (Suppl. 3), 30-54, 2012) was adopted for this study.Results: Medical school libraries provided timely and relevant information to their patrons as well as health literacy support, but most of their efforts were directed towards their students, instructors, and health professionals, not the general public.Discussion: The intention of SDG3 for good health and wellbeing for all is only partially met, as support for health literacy among patients and the public is mostly indirect. Medical libraries in Ghana need to develop more collaborations and outreach activities for health literacy.Conclusion: The medical library staff successfully support health professionals, faculty, and students, but their mediator role in health literacy requires more collaboration with community representatives.","PeriodicalId":47580,"journal":{"name":"Health Information and Libraries Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144303304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consumer interactions confirmed interest in Treatment. The time since posting, the number of tags, the subject of content and the general tone (positive/neutral/negative) of a video influenced whether it elicited positive or negative emotions.Discussion: The consumer interactions might indicate interest in a content category, but the analysis might show negative attitudes to that content. 'Sign & Symptom' content can reduce the positive emotional responses, and 'Cause & Pathophysiology' content can raise the negative emotional responses, thus reducing the consumers' expression of positive attitudes in different ways.Conclusion: The content priorities of video creators and health consumers differed, and keeping the emotional tone positive appears important for fostering positive emotional responses and attitudes.","PeriodicalId":47580,"journal":{"name":"Health Information and Libraries Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143731560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Artificial intelligence-based large language models (LMMs) may be used to identify erroneous health information.Objective: To investigate to what extent LMMs can be used to identify pseudo-information.Methods: Four common LMM applications (ChatGPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Gemini and Copilot) were used to investigate their capability to indicate erroneous information provided in an open-access article.Results: Initially, ChatGPT-4o and Claude were able to mark the provided article as an unreliable information source, identifying most of the inaccuracy problems. The assessments provided by Gemini and Copilot were inaccurate, as several critical aspects were not identified or were misinterpreted. During the validation phase, the initially accurate assessment of ChatGPT-4o was not reproducible, and only Claude was able to detect several critical issues in this phase. The verdicts of Copilot and Gemini remained largely unaltered.Discussion: Large heterogeneity exists between LMMs in identifying inaccurate pseudo-information. Replication in LMM output may constitute a significant hurdle in their application.Conclusion: The accuracy of LMMs needs to be further improved until they can be reliably used by patients for health-related online information and as assistant tools for health information and library services workers without restriction.","PeriodicalId":47580,"journal":{"name":"Health Information and Libraries Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143664925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
