To develop, pilot test, and evaluate an instructional module on patient self-management for undergraduate pharmacy students in an Australian university.
Learning outcomes and associated content and assessment tasks were developed, featuring lecture and readings, in-class discussions, and online delivery of in-depth interviews with patients who were living with chronic pain.
Students completed a premodule and postmodule questionnaire and were further assessed by multiple-choice questions following completion of the module and again at the end of the semester. Positive changes were identified in the students' discourse surrounding patient self-management of chronic pain. Responses to multiple-choice questions showed that knowledge was sustained over the course of the semester.
Completion of a comprehensive module on patient self-management increased undergraduate pharmacy students' understanding and knowledge of patients experiencing chronic pain. The module could be implemented across other healthcare disciplines.
为澳大利亚一所大学的药学本科生开发、试点和评估关于患者自我管理的教学模块。
制定学习成果以及相关的内容和评估任务，包括讲座和阅读材料、课堂讨论以及在线深入访谈患者（他们患有慢性疼痛）。
学生完成了模块前后的问卷调查，并在完成模块后和学期末再次通过多项选择题进行评估。学生在围绕慢性疼痛患者自我管理的讨论中出现了积极的变化。多项选择题的回答表明，知识在整个学期都得到了保持。
完成关于患者自我管理的综合模块增加了药学本科生对经历慢性疼痛的患者的理解和认识。该模块可以在其他医疗保健学科中实施。
