Website evaluation (Nursing Informatics)
Scenario for Mrs. Peters
? Mrs. Peters is a 49-year-old African female, recently diagnosed with severe intrauterine fibroids. She will be requiring surgery (Hysterectomy) because of the size and quantity of the Intrauterine Fibroids.
? Mrs. Peters was accompanied to the clinic by her husband.
? Mr. Peters has a college degree in Liberal Arts and is currently a Liberal arts tutor in our local high school. Mrs. Peters has a high school diploma and she is a stay at home mom of 6 children. All 6 of her children are between ages 9 and 19.
? Mrs. Peters is very anxious about her diagnosis and the need for surgery. She fears that if something happens to her while in surgery, who will care for her 6 children. She also has a superstitious belief that if she is buried without her uterus, she may not be able to have ids in her next world (she believes in reincarnation). She significantly lacks knowledge of her medical condition; it is her opinion that the fibroids will go away when she get to the age of menopause. Hence she wants medications to slow down the growth of the fibroids and reduce her heavy monthly menstrual flow.
? Mr. Peter is very calm. He does have the same level of knowledge deficit as his wife; but, he is more receptive to information. He states he has rented a book on Fibroids but has not had the chance to read it. He is open to surgical treatment if it is the right treatment plan because he hates to see his experience the continuous excessive monthly bleeding and abdominal cramps.
? Mr. Peter is asking questions based on what he read on Wikipedia. He is asking the nurse if the Wikipedia website is credible.
2) Criteria Slide: This slide should address at least four (4) criteria used to evaluate websites. The task is to explain how to determine the credibility of websites and teach it to the patient and/or caregiver described in the Scenario Slide. Concentrate on evaluation of information, not how to search. Assume that the patient or caregiver has basic Internet searching skills, a computer in the home, and can enter words in the query box in a search engine such as Google, Bing, Yahoo, and so forth. The idea is to teach your patients how to evaluate websites (suspect and credible) as they relate to a specific disease process or diagnosis.
The format of the criteria should be logical and easy to read, for example, a table, checklist, or Q & A. Be creative! Language should be appropriate for the educational level of the audience, in other words, the patient and/or caregiver as described in the Scenario Slide. Note: This is the only slide that requires a citation.
3) Suspect Site Slide: This slide should give the name and description of a suspect website. The suspect website must be related to the disease or diagnosis identified in the scenario. However, the site does not meet the criteria for a credible site, for example, gives inaccurate information, and so forth. You must provide a working link to the site. Wikipedia is not acceptable! Explain why the site is suspect based on the criteria you outlined in the Criteria Slide.
4) Credible Site Slide: This slide should give the name and description of a credible website that you would recommend to the patient and/or caregiver/family member. The website must be appropriate for the general public and address the disease process or diagnosis identified in the Scenario Slide. Avoid sites that are aimed at healthcare professionals. Explain why the site is credible based on criteria that you outlined in the Criteria Slide.
