Currently, traditional paper methods may not effectively be used in education due to lack of access, outdated content, and poor graphics. Education through mobile‐based applications is one of the alternative solutions. The objective of this study was to develop and evaluate LabSafety educational application and its effect on promoting the knowledge of pharmacy students. In this interventional study, the LabSafety application was first developed and evaluated for educating students about the safety measures in laboratories. Then, all pharmacy students from Kerman University of Medical Sciences (n = 316) were selected and randomly enrolled into one of three groups using simple random sampling: control (n = 106), traditional (n = 105), and application (n = 105) groups. To assess students' knowledge before and after the intervention, two valid and reliable (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.94 and 0.93, respectively) questionnaires were used. The results of the study showed no significant differences among the mean scores of the participants' knowledge before intervention (p = 0.82). After the intervention, the mean scores of the application group were 5.52 higher than the scores of the traditional group and 7.3 higher than the scores of the control group (p < 0.0001). Age had no significant effect on the posttest scores of the participants (p = 0.52). As a result, the use of this educational application can effectively increase the knowledge of all age groups of pharmacy students regarding safety measures in pharmaceutical laboratories. The mobile‐based applications with online and offline access, interactive features, and user‐friendly interfaces are more engaging and they can be used complementary to traditional training methods. © 2019 International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 48(1):44–53, 2020.

LabSafety,制药实验室Android应用程序,用于提高药学学生的知识

目前,由于无法访问、内容过时和图形不佳,传统的纸质方法可能无法有效地用于教育。通过基于移动的应用程序进行教育是替代解决方案之一。本研究的目的是开发和评估 LabSafety 教育应用及其对促进药学学生知识的影响。在这项干预性研究中,首先开发并评估了 LabSafety 应用程序,用于教育学生了解实验室的安全措施。然后,选择克尔曼医科大学的所有药学学生 (n = 316) 并使用简单随机抽样将其随机纳入三组之一:对照 (n = 106)、传统 (n = 105) 和应用 (n = 105) 组。为了评估学生在干预前后的知识,使用了两个有效且可靠的(Cronbach's Alpha = 0.94 和 0.93)问卷。研究结果显示,参与者在干预前知识的平均得分没有显着差异(p = 0.82)。干预后,应用组平均分比传统组高5.52分,比对照组高7.3分(p<0.0001)。年龄对参与者的后测分数没有显着影响(p = 0.52)。因此,使用此教育应用程序可以有效地增加所有年龄段的药学学生对制药实验室安全措施的了解。具有在线和离线访问、交互功能的基于移动的应用程序,用户友好的界面更具吸引力,可以作为传统培训方法的补充。© 2019 国际生物化学与分子生物学联盟,48(1):44–53,2020。
