Analysis of Students’ Digital Literacy Skills and Attitude Towards Drug-Related Information Resources

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The research examined pharmacy students’ digital literacy skills and attitudes toward drug-related information resources. A self-administered online questionnaire created with Google Forms was used to assess these aspects. The researchers used IBM SPSS to analyse the data. The study’s findings indicated that students primarily relied on lectures and books but valued online resources despite concerns about reliability. While traditional resources were preferred, digital literacy skills proved crucial for accessing trustworthy online information. This underscored the importance of integrating responsible practices for online drug information resources in pharmacy education. The statistical analysis not only delves into how demographics influence student preferences but also offers valuable insights into how students accessed and perceived drug-related information sources. These findings had significant implications for the design of pharmacy education programs. The researchers suggested the need to promote digital literacy through targeted interventions and effective time management practices to better equip students for success in a digitalised healthcare landscape.
