“…However, the research on the quality evaluation of community elderly care services in my country has still achieved certain results [18]. After analyzing the feasibility of the extension theory to evaluate the community elderly care services, the literature [19] constructed a community elderly care service quality evaluation model based on the extension theory [20]. The AHP process determines 2…”

The healthy development of community elderly care service is very important. Studying the quality evaluation of community elderly care services and establishing a complete, scientific, and objective community elderly care service method can establish the online reputation of enterprises and help elderly users obtain cost-effective elderly care services. This is very important for healthy development. This paper puts forward a new evaluation model for the quality of community elderly care service. The evaluation method based on the model is designed, the quality evaluation model is constructed, and the community evaluation system is developed. From the aspects of requirement analysis, design, implementation, and testing, the specific implementation process of the system is described. This paper puts forward a community evaluation model which accords with the clustering model: community elderly care service quality evaluation method. AIS-OR mathematical modeling is carried out. Under the guidance of the model, the secondary indicators are analyzed and determined, and the mathematical model of indicator evaluation is constructed. We use text mining technology and emotion analysis to determine the relationship between comment emotion and community elderly care service quality online and build a quality emotion feature library. The naive Bayesian algorithm is used to classify the online evaluation of the service quality of community elderly care services, which verified by experiments and completed the design and development of the community elderly care service quality evaluation system based on the project needs.

Diarrhea is one of the most commonly encountered minor ailments in the community pharmacies. It is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. However, the majority of pharmacists in Iraq did not manage diarrheal cases in a proper way. Therefore, the current study aimed to evaluate the benefit of a new mobile application (diarrhea management step by step) to improve the pharmacist's role in the management of diarrhea. The study was conducted from 21th September to 21th October 2021 using a pre-post design via a simulated patient (SP) technique. A validated diarrhea scenario was presented to each pharmacist by the SP twice, once before and the other after giving the mobile application to the pharmacist. Furthermore, pharmacists were asked to rate the application in regard to its ease of use, reducing the time needed for management of diarrhea cases, reducing diagnostic errors, reducing medication errors, and applicability in daily clinical practice. The study sample involved 50 community pharmacists. However, only 47 completed the study. After using the application, all questions necessary to assess diarrhea were significantly improved. Moreover, the average number of questions asked to the SP was significantly increased. On the other hand, providing the SP with an appropriate non-pharmacological and pharmacological treatment was also significantly improved. Additionally, counseling the SP with the necessary information about dispensed medication was improved; however, significant improvement was detected only in regard to information about the drug dose and dosing frequency. Most participated pharmacists strongly agreed with the application ease of use, its ability to reduce diagnosis and medication errors, and its applicability for use in daily clinical practice. In conclusion the tested application is an effective method to improve the pharmacist's role in the assessment and management of diarrhea.

Background: The roles of AI in the academic community continue to grow, especially in the enhancement of learning outcomes and the improvement of writing quality and efficiency. Objectives: To explore in depth the experience of senior pharmacy students in using artificial intelligence for academic purposes. Methods: This qualitative study included face-to-face individual interviews with senior pharmacy students from March to May 2023 using a pre-planned interview guide of open-ended questions. All interviews were audio-recorded. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. Results: The results were obtained from 15 in-depth face-to-face interviews with senior pharmacy students (5th and 4th years). Eight participants were male, and seven were female (21–25 years old). All participants used ChatGPT for a few months for academic purposes, especially when writing take-home assignments. The perceptions were positive about the students’ gains from using ChatGPT. Still, at the same time, they admitted that AI might negatively impact the student’s motivation to learn new academic skills. Conclusions: The students believed that AI was very helpful, with concerns that it did not enhance their critical thinking or writing skills. Thus, educators need to change their strategies for teaching and testing students to improve student skills and identify students’ own work.
