To assess pharmacy residents' perceptions regarding the incorporation of health literacy in pharmacy school and pharmacy residency training and to assess confidence while interacting with patients of limited health literacy.
Prospective cross-sectional study.
United States from March to May 2012.
Postgraduate year (PGY)1 and -2 pharmacy residents and pharmacy residency program directors.
Online survey.
PGY1 and -2 resident perceptions of health literacy incorporation into pharmacy school and residency training.
939 surveys were completed. Residents agreed that their pharmacy school training encouraged the development of health literacy skills ( P < 0.001) and made efforts to improve health literacy awareness ( P < 0.001) significantly more than their PGY1 programs. In addition, they felt significantly more confident in their ability to communicate with patients with limited health literacy after their pharmacy school training compared with during or following PGY1 residency training ( P < 0.001); however, no difference was found regarding confidence in identifying patients of limited health literacy.
PGY1 residency programs lag behind the efforts of schools of pharmacy to incorporate the health literacy training essential to encountering patients of limited health literacy. Future studies should assess whether these perceptions reflect true health literacy awareness and management among pharmacy residents.
评估药学住院医师对将健康素养纳入药学学校和药学住院医师培训的看法，并评估与健康素养有限的患者互动时的信心。
前瞻性横断面研究。
2012 年 3 月至 5 月，美国。
PGY1 和 -2 药学住院医师和药学住院医师培训计划主任。
在线调查。
PGY1 和 -2 住院医师对健康素养纳入药学学校和住院医师培训的看法。
完成了 939 份调查。住院医师认为，他们的药学学校培训鼓励发展健康素养技能（P < 0.001），并努力提高健康素养意识（P < 0.001），明显超过他们的 PGY1 课程。此外，与 PGY1 住院医师培训期间或之后相比，他们在药学学校培训后对与健康素养有限的患者进行沟通的能力更有信心（P < 0.001）；然而，在识别健康素养有限的患者方面，信心方面没有差异。
PGY1 住院医师培训计划落后于药学学校将遇到健康素养有限的患者所必需的健康素养培训纳入课程的努力。未来的研究应评估这些看法是否反映了住院医师真正的健康素养意识和管理水平。
