To determine the content and extent, design, and relative importance of patient assessment courses in the professional pharmacy curriculum.
A 20-item questionnaire was developed to gather information pertaining to patient assessment. Pharmacy practice department chairs were mailed a letter with an Internet link to an online survey instrument.
Ninety-six percent of the programs indicated that patient assessment skills were taught. Forty-five percent of respondents indicated their course was a standalone course. The most common topics covered in assessment courses were pulmonary examination, vital signs, and cardiovascular assessment.
There is significant variability in the topics covered, depth of content, types of instruction, and evaluation methods used in patient assessment courses in US colleges of pharmacy. This survey was an initial assessment of what is being done regarding education of student pharmacists on patient assessment.
确定专业药学课程中患者评估课程的内容、范围、设计及相对重要性。
编制一份包含20个条目的问卷，以收集与患者评估相关的信息。向药学实践部门主任邮寄一封信函，其中包含指向在线调查问卷工具的互联网链接。
96%的课程表明教授了患者评估技能。45%的受访者表示他们的课程是一门独立课程。评估课程中涵盖的最常见主题是肺部检查、生命体征和心血管评估。
美国药学院校的患者评估课程在涵盖的主题、内容深度、教学类型和使用的评估方法方面存在显著差异。这项调查是对在学生药剂师患者评估教育方面所做工作的初步评估。
