To implement a simulation-based educational experience focused on medical emergencies in an ambulatory pharmacy setting.
Second-year student pharmacists were assigned randomly to groups and played the role of pharmacists in a community pharmacy setting in which a simulated patient experienced 1 of 5 emergency scenarios: medication-related allergic reaction, acute asthma attack, hypoglycemia, myocardial infarction, and stroke. The students were expected to use patient assessment techniques to determine which emergency the simulated patient was experiencing and the appropriate intervention. Following each simulation, a debriefing session was conducted.
Eighty-two student pharmacists completed the simulation activity. Ninety-three percent of student groups correctly identified the emergency. A post-activity survey instrument was administered, and 83% of responders indicated this activity was effective or very effective.
Simulation of emergencies seen in an ambulatory pharmacy setting allowed students to assert knowledge, practice communication skills, apply assessment techniques, and work as a team in a low-risk environment.
在门诊药房环境中实施以医疗紧急情况为重点的基于模拟的教育体验。
将二年级的实习药剂师随机分配到小组中,并在社区药房环境中扮演药剂师的角色,在该环境中,一名模拟患者经历了 5 种紧急情况场景之一:与药物相关的过敏反应、急性哮喘发作、低血糖、心肌梗死和中风。学生们需要使用患者评估技术来确定模拟患者正在经历哪种紧急情况以及适当的干预措施。每次模拟后,都会进行一次讨论。
82 名实习药剂师完成了模拟活动。93%的学生小组正确识别了紧急情况。在活动结束后,还进行了一项调查工具,83%的参与者表示该活动是有效或非常有效的。
在门诊药房环境中模拟紧急情况,使学生能够在低风险环境中自信地运用知识、实践沟通技巧、应用评估技术和团队合作。
