To measure the impact of a depression training day for pharmacists that included a 75-minute session with a consumer educator.
The training day included interactive lectures on depression; the effects and side effects of and indications for the use of antidepressants; adherence issues; non-drug treatment options for depression; and basic skills in communication. Pharmacists also participated in a session with a consumer educator and in counseling exercises that included role playing.
The study used a randomized, clustered, comparative design to measure pharmacists' stigma, attitudes, and current practice related to the provision of pharmaceutical care to people with depression. Mean scores for depression-care practice after the training session were significantly higher in the intervention group than in the control group. Analysis of the changes between baseline and postintervention measures in both the control and intervention groups confirmed a significant difference in the change in both social distance and practice but no significant difference in the change in attitude between the 2 groups of pharmacists.
A continuing-education depression training day for pharmacists that involve consumer educators may improve the care delivered in the community pharmacy to people with depression.
评估为药剂师举办的抑郁症培训日的效果，其中包括与消费者教育者进行 75 分钟的课程。
培训日包括关于抑郁症的互动讲座；抗抑郁药的作用、副作用和适应证；用药依从性问题；抑郁症的非药物治疗选择；以及基本沟通技巧。药剂师还与消费者教育者一起参加了一个课程，并进行了包括角色扮演在内的咨询练习。
该研究采用随机、聚类、对照设计来衡量药剂师在向抑郁症患者提供药物治疗方面的污名化、态度和当前实践情况。在培训课程之后，干预组在抑郁症护理实践方面的平均得分显著高于对照组。对对照组和干预组在基线和干预后测量值之间的变化进行分析，证实了两组药剂师在社会距离和实践方面的变化存在显著差异，但在态度变化方面没有显著差异。
为药剂师举办的包含消费者教育者的继续教育抑郁症培训日可能会改善社区药房为抑郁症患者提供的护理。
