To describe the use of student self-assessments as a measure of the effectiveness of a drug information advanced pharmacy practice experience (APPE) and to determine whether other APPEs reinforced information-related skills.
Students taking a drug information APPE completed a self-assessment survey instrument focusing on key information-related skills on the first day and again on the last day of that APPE. Findings were used to determine the effect of this and other APPEs on perceived information skills. Student ratings were compared with faculty ratings for items with similar wording.
Student self-ratings improved after completing the drug information APPE. Other APPEs, gender, and course grade did not significantly impact student perceptions of their information-related knowledge and skills. Student and faculty ratings were similar, although individual variability occurred.
Student self-assessments, along with other direct and indirect data, can provide useful information needed to assess and change aspects of the experiential program and curriculum.
描述使用学生自我评估作为衡量药物信息高级药学实践经验(APPE)有效性的一种方法,并确定其他APPE是否强化了与信息相关的技能。
参加药物信息APPE的学生在该APPE的第一天和最后一天完成了一份侧重于关键信息相关技能的自我评估调查问卷。研究结果用于确定此APPE和其他APPE对感知信息技能的影响。将学生评分与措辞相似项目的教师评分进行比较。
完成药物信息APPE后,学生的自我评分有所提高。其他APPE、性别和课程成绩对学生对其信息相关知识和技能的认知没有显著影响。尽管存在个体差异,但学生和教师的评分相似。
学生自我评估以及其他直接和间接数据可以提供评估和改变实践项目及课程方面所需的有用信息。
