[Effects of E-learning on Pharmacists' Recognition and Practice in Medication Education for Patients with Hearing Loss].

Pharmacists are required to provide and collect medication information based on patients' health literacy and communication abilities to provide effective pharmaceutical care. Due to a lack of understanding of hearing loss and awareness of the inconvenience that patients with hearing loss face, appropriate actions for effective communication in medication education are not fully implemented. An e-learning system consisting of two courses, a learning course and an evaluation course, has been developed.

[Analysis of Factors to Hinder Self-directed Learning about Medication Education to Patients with Hearing Loss].

To improve medication education for patients with hearing loss, pharmacists must better understand hearing loss and provide and collect medication information based on patients' health literacy and communication abilities. However, no systematic educational e-learning systems for hearing loss are currently available. Therefore, an e-learning system based on instructional design, microlearning principles, and multimedia teaching materials was developed.

[Comparison in the Recognition about Medication Education between People with Prelingual Hearing Loss and Pharmacists].

Providing medication information according to a patient's health literacy and communication ability is needed for safe and effective healthcare. Communication barriers due to hearing loss prevent pharmacists from providing medication information to patients with hearing loss. A questionnaire about the difficulty in understanding medication information and the feeling of inconvenience during medication education was conducted from September to October 2020 with 84 people with prelingual hearing loss and 346 pharmacists.
