To establish and evaluate an ambulatory care renal transplantation clinic advanced pharmacy practice experience (APPE).
Students spend 5 weeks performing pharmaceutical care activities for renal transplant patients, presenting health-related topics, and conducting research. A paired t test was used to determine differences between students' pre- and post-APPE test scores. Standardized evaluations completed by the preceptor and the students were used to evaluate learning and the APPE.
Posttest scores were significantly higher than pretest scores (n = 17; 88.2 +/- 7.3 vs 55.9 +/- 22.4; p < 0.001). Overall, students found this APPE enjoyable and believed that it increased their knowledge concerning transplant medicine and patient care.
With the recommendation that all transplant programs have clinical pharmacy services, it is imperative to train students to care for transplant patients. Information in this manuscript can be used as a guide for utilizing the combined resources from schools of pharmacy and transplantation centers to implement a renal transplant ambulatory care APPE.
建立并评估一个门诊护理肾移植诊所的高级药学实践经验(APPE)。
学生花5周时间为肾移植患者开展药学护理活动、介绍健康相关主题并进行研究。采用配对t检验来确定学生APPE前后测试成绩的差异。由带教老师和学生完成的标准化评估用于评价学习情况和APPE。
后测成绩显著高于前测成绩(n = 17;88.2±7.3对55.9±22.4;p < 0.001)。总体而言,学生觉得这个APPE很有趣,并认为它增加了他们关于移植医学和患者护理的知识。
鉴于建议所有移植项目都提供临床药学服务,培训学生护理移植患者势在必行。本手稿中的信息可作为利用药学院和移植中心的联合资源来实施肾移植门诊护理APPE的指南。
