To compare the clinical consultations provided by American and Kenyan pharmacy students in an acute care setting in a developing country.
The documented pharmacy consultation recommendations made by American and Kenyan pharmacy students during patient care rounds on an advanced pharmacy practice experience at a referral hospital in Kenya were reviewed and classified according to type of intervention and therapeutic area.
The Kenyan students documented more interventions than American students (16.7 vs. 12.0 interventions/day) and provided significantly more consultations regarding human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and antibiotics. The top area of consultations provided by American students was cardiovascular diseases.
American and Kenyan pharmacy students successfully providing clinical pharmacy consultations in a resource-constrained, acute-care practice setting suggests an important role for pharmacy students in the reconciliation of prescriber orders with medication administration records and in providing drug information.
比较美国和肯尼亚药学学生在发展中国家的急症护理环境中提供的临床咨询服务。
对在美国肯塔基州一家转诊医院进行高级药学实践经验期间,美国和肯尼亚药学学生在患者护理查房过程中所做的有记录的药学咨询建议进行了回顾,并根据干预类型和治疗领域进行了分类。
肯尼亚学生记录的干预措施多于美国学生(每天 16.7 次与 12.0 次),并就人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)和抗生素提供了更多的咨询。美国学生提供的咨询最多的领域是心血管疾病。
美国和肯尼亚药学学生在资源有限的急症护理实践环境中成功提供临床药学咨询服务,这表明药学学生在核对医嘱与用药记录以及提供药物信息方面发挥着重要作用。
