To implement an interactive, Web-based postgraduate course aimed at improving the knowledge, skills, and confidence of health care practitioners with interest in providing pharmaceutical care to people with mental disorders.
The Web-based course was created in which authentic tasks and multiple modes of presentation and problem-solving were used to develop understanding of core concepts. Participants formulated pharmaceutical care plans for authentic case scenarios and cases selected from practice. Participants developed management plans using audiovisual lectures, videotaped demonstration patient interviews, and links to mental health practice tools and the literature. A combination of online discussion, collaborative and individual preparation of care plans, and peer and instructor feedback were used.
Responses on postcourse surveys showed that participants' comfort levels with providing pharmaceutical care for common mental disorders increased moderately. Three-quarters of respondents indicated that the course had deepened their understanding and enhanced their mental health practice.
A Web-based postgraduate course in pharmaceutical care for patients with mental disorders was successfully implemented and resulted in a template which can be used in the development of similar postgraduate courses.
开展一门基于网络的互动式研究生课程,旨在提高对为精神障碍患者提供药学服务感兴趣的医疗从业者的知识、技能和信心。
创建了基于网络的课程,其中使用真实任务以及多种呈现和解决问题的方式来加深对核心概念的理解。参与者为真实案例场景和从实践中选取的案例制定药学服务计划。参与者利用视听讲座、患者访谈录像示范以及与心理健康实践工具和文献的链接来制定管理计划。采用了在线讨论、协作和个人护理计划准备以及同伴和教师反馈相结合的方式。
课程后调查问卷的回复显示,参与者为常见精神障碍患者提供药学服务的舒适度有适度提高。四分之三的受访者表示该课程加深了他们的理解并增强了他们的心理健康实践能力。
成功实施了一门针对精神障碍患者的药学服务网络研究生课程,并形成了一个可用于开发类似研究生课程的模板。
