As interprofessional education opportunities become more prevalent within family medicine residency clinics, the benefit of the integration of pharmacy students is unclear in the current literature. Our study objective was to determine the impact of pharmacy student integration into a family medicine residency clinic on family medicine residents' attitudes toward interprofessional collaboration and satisfaction.
Twenty-two pharmacy students on clinical rotation were individually paired with family medicine residents for approximately 4-5 half days per week over a 10-month period. Residents and students were given a pre/post-validated survey on attitudes toward interprofessional collaboration. Satisfaction surveys were also administered to the residents at the end of the study period. Written components of satisfaction surveys were evaluated for commonly occurring themes.
Matched survey responses were available for over 80% of the residents. Both pre- and post-survey responses showed positive attitudes toward physician-pharmacist collaboration. A statistically significant positive change was seen for one item in the family medicine resident surveys. Favorable written comments revealed positive themes toward pharmacy students providing mediation reviews, therapeutic recommendations, and patient education.
Pharmacy students can be integrated into family medicine residency clinics while maintaining positive levels of interprofessional collaboration and providing a perceived benefit to the family medicine residents.
随着跨专业教育机会在家庭医学住院医师诊所中变得越来越普遍，目前的文献中尚不清楚药学专业学生融入其中的益处。我们的研究目的是确定药学专业学生融入家庭医学住院医师诊所对家庭医学住院医师对跨专业协作的态度及满意度的影响。
22名正在进行临床轮转的药学专业学生与家庭医学住院医师两两配对，在10个月的时间里，每周大约有4 - 5个半天一起工作。住院医师和学生在跨专业协作态度方面接受了一份经过预验证和后验证的调查。在研究期结束时，也对住院医师进行了满意度调查。对满意度调查的书面部分进行评估，以找出常见主题。
超过80%的住院医师有匹配的调查回复。调查前和调查后的回复均显示出对医师 - 药剂师协作的积极态度。在家庭医学住院医师调查中，有一项出现了具有统计学意义的积极变化。积极的书面评论揭示了对药学专业学生进行药物重整审查、提供治疗建议和开展患者教育的积极主题。
药学专业学生可以融入家庭医学住院医师诊所，同时保持较高水平的跨专业协作，并为家庭医学住院医师带来一定益处。
