To determine, using the Gordon Personal Profile-Inventory (GPP-I), if the personality traits of first-year pharmacy students match the traits required for patient-centered practice.
The GPP-I, which measures the personality traits of ascendency, responsibility, emotional stability, sociability, cautiousness, original thinking, personal relations, and vigor, was administered to incoming pharmacy students at the beginning of their first semester.
The pharmacy school had attracted students with strong traits of original thinking, followed by personal relations, and vigor. The students, however, were limited in emotional stability and ascendency.
The pharmacy profession needs to be more proactive in projecting the desired image and communicate its increasingly challenging and patient-oriented practice to attract individuals whose personalities are conducive to current practice models.
使用 Gordon 个人概况量表(GPP-I)确定一年级药学专业学生的人格特质是否符合以患者为中心的实践所需的特质。
在第一学期开始时,向药学专业的新生发放 GPP-I,该量表用于衡量支配性、责任感、情绪稳定性、社交性、谨慎性、原创思维、人际关系和活力等人格特质。
该药学专业吸引了具有强烈原创思维特质的学生,其次是人际关系和活力。然而,学生在情绪稳定性和支配性方面存在局限性。
药学专业需要更加积极主动地塑造理想形象,并向学生传达其日益具有挑战性和以患者为中心的实践,以吸引那些人格特质有利于当前实践模式的人。
