OBJECTIVES
To describe and evaluate pharmacy students' knowledge of and comfort in communicating, managing, and preventing medication errors.
METHODS
Using a cross-sectional design, a survey instrument was administered to fifth-year pharmacy students. The survey instrument included both open- and close-ended questions to describe and examine factors associated with knowledge and comfort in communication of medication errors.
RESULTS
Survey instruments were completed by 93 students (90% response rate). Nearly 80% reported not having received training in communicating medication errors. The perception of having more adequate training was related to greater knowledge in the communication of medication errors (p < or = 0.001). Knowledge was also associated with students having greater comfort in communicating medication errors (p < or = 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
The need and value of additional training for pharmacy students in communicating medication errors was demonstrated. Educational interventions should be developed to provide consistent instruction on these communication issues.
目的
描述并评估药学专业学生在沟通、管理和预防用药错误方面的知识及舒适度。
方法
采用横断面设计，对五年级药学专业学生进行问卷调查。调查问卷包括开放式和封闭式问题，以描述和研究与用药错误沟通方面的知识及舒适度相关的因素。
结果
93名学生完成了调查问卷（回复率为90%）。近80%的学生报告称未接受过用药错误沟通方面的培训。认为接受了更充分培训的学生在用药错误沟通方面知识更丰富（p≤0.001）。知识水平也与学生在沟通用药错误时更高的舒适度相关（p≤0.05）。
结论
证明了对药学专业学生进行用药错误沟通方面额外培训的必要性和价值。应开展教育干预措施，就这些沟通问题提供一致的指导。
