This retrospective study investigated the impact of a required vs an optional remake requirement on student performance in a compounding laboratory course in which students' compounded preparations were analyzed.
The analysis data for several preparations made by students over a 3-year period were compared for differences in the analyzed content of the active principal ingredient and the number of students who successfully compounded the preparation on the first attempt.
Students' compounding accuracy was significantly better for the ketoprofen (pluronic lecithin organogel [PLO]) emulsion (p= 0.003) and mock co-enzyme Q10 troches (p< 0.001) when remaking an inaccurate preparation was optional rather than required. There were no significant differences in the parameters for the other compounded preparations.
Student performance did not decrease when students were given the option to remake an inaccurate preparation. Factors such as the difficulty of the preparation, time spent compounding, and impact on the student's final course grade also may have influenced student performance.
本回顾性研究调查了在一个化合物实验室课程中,对于学生的化合物制备进行分析,规定重制与可选重制要求对学生表现的影响。
在 3 年的时间里,对学生制作的几种制剂的分析数据进行比较,比较内容为活性主要成分的分析含量以及首次成功配制制剂的学生人数。
当重新配制不准确的制剂是可选的而不是必需的时,酮洛芬(泊洛沙姆卵磷脂有机凝胶[PLO])乳剂(p=0.003)和模拟辅酶 Q10 软糖(p<0.001)的学生的配制准确性明显更好。其他化合物的制备参数没有显著差异。
当学生有机会重新配制不准确的制剂时,他们的表现并没有下降。制剂的难度、配制时间以及对学生最终课程成绩的影响等因素也可能影响学生的表现。
