To develop and validate an instrument that measures professionalism among pharmacy students and recent graduates.
A pharmacy professionalism survey instrument developed by a focus group was pretested and then administered to all first-year pharmacy students enrolled in the University of Georgia College of Pharmacy and to recent pharmacy graduates who were taking the preparation course for the Georgia Pharmacy Law Examination and North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination. Participants were asked to indicate the extent to which they agreed or disagreed with each of 32 items using a 5-point Likert scale.
One hundred thirty first-year pharmacy students and 101 pharmacy graduates participated in the survey. Statistical analysis identified 6 factors (subscales), which were later named excellence, respect for others, altruism, duty, accountability, and honor/integrity, the 6 tenets of professionalism. Item to total correlations ranged from 0.25 to 0.57 on the 6 factors (subscales), and reliability estimates ranged from 0.72 to 0.85 for the 6 factors and total scale.
The Pharmacy Professionalism Instrument measures the 6 tenets of professionalism and exhibits satisfactory reliability measures. Future studies using this scale in other pharmacy populations are needed.
开发并验证一种用于测量药学专业学生和应届毕业生职业素养的工具。
由一个焦点小组开发的药学职业素养调查问卷进行了预测试，然后对佐治亚大学药学院所有一年级药学专业学生以及正在参加佐治亚州药学法律考试和北美药剂师执照考试备考课程的应届药学毕业生进行了调查。参与者被要求使用5点李克特量表表明他们对32个项目中每一项的同意或不同意程度。
130名一年级药学专业学生和101名药学专业毕业生参与了调查。统计分析确定了6个因素（子量表），后来分别命名为卓越、尊重他人、利他主义、责任、问责制以及荣誉/正直，这6个职业素养的原则。6个因素（子量表）的项目与总分的相关性在0.25至0.57之间，6个因素和总量表的信度估计值在0.72至0.85之间。
药学职业素养工具测量了职业素养的6个原则，并表现出令人满意的信度指标。未来需要在其他药学人群中使用该量表进行研究。
