To implement required attendance at mutual support groups for addiction recovery as a pharmacy skills laboratory exercise, and to evaluate how attendance affected pharmacy students' attitudes about caring for patients with addiction.
Third-year (P3) pharmacy students enrolled in a Pharmacy Skills Laboratory course were required to watch an introductory video about Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and then attend 2 "open meetings" during the semester. Students submitted a written reflection as proof of attendance.
Pharmacy students who agreed to participate in the study completed the Short Alcohol and Alcohol Problems Perception Questionnaire (SAAPPQ) during the course orientation and again at the end of the semester. Mutual support group attendance significantly affected the students' attitudes within the domains of role adequacy, task specific self-esteem, and work satisfaction. Significant changes were not observed within the domains of motivation and role legitimacy.
Mutual support group attendance exposed pharmacy students to the negative effects of alcohol abuse and increased their self-confidence to provide care to patients with alcohol addiction.
将参加互助小组以促进成瘾康复作为药学技能实验室练习的一项要求,并评估参加情况如何影响药学专业学生对照顾成瘾患者的态度。
参加药学技能实验室课程的三年级(P3)药学专业学生被要求观看一段关于戒酒互助会(AA)的介绍视频,然后在本学期参加2次“公开会议”。学生提交书面反思作为出勤证明。
同意参与该研究的药学专业学生在课程迎新期间以及学期末完成了简短酒精及酒精问题认知问卷(SAAPPQ)。参加互助小组对学生在角色胜任、任务特定自尊和工作满意度等方面的态度产生了显著影响。在动机和角色合法性方面未观察到显著变化。
参加互助小组使药学专业学生了解到酒精滥用的负面影响,并增强了他们为酒精成瘾患者提供护理的自信心。
