“…Since the evolution of smartphones with cameras, QR codes got more attraction and were applied to a wide range of commercial applications such as marketing, social media, and more recently QR codes have generated interest for their use in education, presenting an opportunity to excite and engage learners in a way the teachers were unable to thus far ( Karia et al, 2019 ). Healthcare education is evolving rapidly to integrate new technology, ranging from virtual delivery of courses to using QR codes ( Brodie et al, 2020 ) to access learning material, register attendance, and gather evaluations. Taking learners' attendance during each class has been time-consuming using the traditional method of signing the register ( Masalha and Hirzallah, 2014 ).…”

“…Regarding usability from the perspective of the women in this study, similar research in other eHealth ambits and general users has stated that simple designs and previous testing of the interventions with the patients can help ensure an overall good perception of usability [ 25 - 27 ]. The items that defined this domain in our resultant questionnaire regarded aspects that have been previously described separately by other authors, such as the easiness of understanding, convenience of using QR codes to access the information [ 28 ], and helpfulness in daily life [ 29 ] or in other medical specialties [ 1 ]. Therefore, we can consider that these items can help define the usability of the QR codes and the health information provided through them from the perspective of general women.…”

Background QR codes have played an integral role during the pandemic in many sectors, but their use has been limited in the health care sector, especially by patients. Although some authors have stated that developing specific content for women on how to cope with health problems could be an effective way to prevent problems, especially during pandemics, there is little research regarding the use of QR codes to promote health during a pandemic, and even fewer studies are focused on women. Moreover, although the importance of assessing these interventions from the users’ perspective has been stated, research carried out from this point of view is still scarce. Objective This study aimed to assess the usefulness of using QR codes with information to promote women’s health in the context of a pandemic. We also sought to design and validate a questionnaire to assess this. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among women in the gynecology waiting rooms of a reference hospital. Exploratory factorial analysis with the split-half method and Cronbach α values was performed for questionnaire validation. Univariant and bivariant analyses were performed to analyze the data obtained. Results In total, 186 women took part in the study. Exploratory factor analysis identified 2 domains: usability and applicability in medical practice. The Cronbach α value was .81. Overall, 83.7% of the answers to the first domain and 56.4% of those to the second were favorable. Women with university education or those who had used QR codes before scored better in the usability domain, while no differences were observed in the applicability scores. Conclusions Using QR codes in the gynecology clinics’ waiting rooms can help promote women’s health during a pandemic, regardless of their education level or whether they have used QR codes before. The questionnaire developed herein is a helpful tool to assess this. These findings are important for clinical practice. This research can be performed in other ambits, specialties, or countries.

is the primary means by which EM doctors seek information for clinical questions, while working and emergency physicians average 1.35 internet searches per patient encounter. 1 Knowing this, we went about analysing clinically relevant internet searches on our department computers to try and identify our doctor's frequently encountered knowledge gaps. Using this information, we were able to design half hour weekly education sessions. The education sessions involved a 'rapid revision' of the most frequently searched clinical topics from the previous week and one high acuity, low occurrence (HALO) topic.The session was delivered by a consultant using a blended approach of didactic lectures and practical demonstrations. To assess participant satisfaction, we adapted a validated questionnaire designed by the Centre for Advanced Learning and Teaching.
