To determine pharmacy students' attitudes and academic performance related to journal club during 2 advanced pharmacy practice experiences (APPEs).
Fourth-year pharmacy students were required to complete 3 journal club assignments during drug information and internal medicine APPEs.
A majority (91.3%) of the 105 students who responded to a 21-item survey instrument indicated that journal club assignments during the drug-information APPE were valuable to their understanding of research design and statistics. Students who completed the drug-information APPE before the internal medicine APPE scored higher on their understanding of the strengths and weaknesses and the clinical relevance of studies and had a higher learning slope (p = 0.01) than did students who completed the internal medicine APPE first.
Incorporating journal clubs into APPEs is an effective means of teaching literature-evaluation skills to pharmacy students.
在 2 个高级药学实践经验(APPE)中,确定药学学生与期刊俱乐部相关的态度和学业成绩。
要求四年级药学学生在药物信息和内科 APPE 期间完成 3 项期刊俱乐部作业。
在回应了 21 项调查工具的 105 名学生中,大多数(91.3%)表示,药物信息 APPE 期间的期刊俱乐部作业对他们理解研究设计和统计学有帮助。与先完成内科 APPE 的学生相比,先完成药物信息 APPE 的学生在理解研究的优缺点和临床相关性方面的得分更高,学习斜率也更高(p=0.01)。
将期刊俱乐部纳入 APPE 是向药学学生教授文献评估技能的有效方法。
