To explore South Australian (SA) pharmacy interns' values, beliefs and motivations to study pharmacy and their assessment of how well their pharmacy education has prepared them for activities required of all health professionals under Australia's health care reforms.
A postal questionnaire was sent to all 136 SA pharmacy interns enrolled in SA intern training programmes in February 2010 (second month of the intern training programme).
Sixty (44%) of SA pharmacy interns responded; 75% selected pharmacy as a career because of an interest in health-related sciences and 65% valued working with patients. Respondents believed their pharmacy education prepared them for patient care (80%), providing medicine information (72%) and primary health care delivery (68%), but 51% indicated that they were not prepared for multidisciplinary team care.
The positive values, beliefs and motivations expressed by respondents are significant behavioural precursors to meet the requirements of health professionals in Australia's health care reforms. Respondents indicated that their pharmacy education provided appropriate training in a number of relevant professional areas.
探讨南澳大利亚州（SA）药学实习生学习药学的价值观、信念和动机，以及他们对药学教育使他们为澳大利亚医疗改革中所有卫生专业人员所需活动做好准备程度的评估。
2010年2月（实习培训项目的第二个月），向所有136名参加南澳大利亚州实习培训项目的药学实习生邮寄了问卷调查表。
60名（44%）南澳大利亚州药学实习生回复；75%因对健康相关科学感兴趣而选择药学作为职业，65%重视与患者合作。受访者认为他们的药学教育使他们为患者护理（80%）、提供药物信息（72%）和初级卫生保健服务（68%）做好了准备，但51%表示他们没有为多学科团队护理做好准备。
受访者表达的积极价值观、信念和动机是满足澳大利亚医疗改革中卫生专业人员要求的重要行为先兆。受访者表示，他们的药学教育在一些相关专业领域提供了适当的培训。
