To identify criteria by which patients can assess the communication skills of pharmacy students.
Potential assessment criteria were generated from 2 main sources: a literature review and a focus group discussion. A modified two-round Delphi survey was subsequently conducted with 35 professionals who were actively involved in teaching and assessing communication skills of pharmacy students to determine the importance and reliability of each criterion.
Consensus ratings identified 7 criteria that were important measures of pharmacy students' communication skills and could be reliably assessed by patients.
A modified two-round Delphi consultation survey successfully identified criteria that can be used by patients to assess the communication skills of pharmacy undergraduates. Future work will examine the feasibility of using patients as assessors of communication skills of pharmacy students, preregistration pharmacists, and qualified pharmacists.
确定患者用以评估药学专业学生沟通技巧的标准。
潜在评估标准主要来源于两个方面:文献综述和焦点小组讨论。随后,对35名积极参与药学专业学生沟通技巧教学与评估的专业人员进行了两轮改良的德尔菲调查,以确定每项标准的重要性和可靠性。
共识评级确定了7项标准,这些标准是衡量药学专业学生沟通技巧的重要指标,且患者能够对其进行可靠评估。
两轮改良的德尔菲咨询调查成功确定了患者可用于评估药学专业本科生沟通技巧的标准。未来的工作将探讨让患者作为药学专业学生、预注册药剂师和执业药剂师沟通技巧评估者的可行性。
