To describe pharmacy students' use of mobile devices in a basic health science laboratory and to report the students' perceptions on how solving cases with their mobile devices influenced their attitudes, abilities, and view on the use of mobile devices as tools for pharmacists.
First-year pharmacy students utilized mobile devices to solve clinical case studies in a basic health sciences laboratory. A pre-survey and two post-surveys were administered to assess the students' comfort, awareness, use, and perceptions on the use of their mobile devices and apps.
The pre-survey and first post-survey each had a response rate of 99%, and the second post-survey had a response rate of 100%. In comparing the pre-survey and first post-survey data, there was a statistically significant increase in the number of students that agreed or strongly agreed that they were more comfortable utilizing their mobile device (p = 0.025), they were more aware of apps for pharmacists (p < 0.005), and they have used more apps that can be useful for pharmacists (p < 0.005). The second post-survey demonstrated that over 78% of students agreed or strongly agreed that completing the case studies influenced them to be more comfortable with their mobile devices, to be more aware of apps that can be useful for pharmacists, and to be more agreeable with mobile device utilization by pharmacists in improving patient care. In addition, the second post-survey also demonstrated that 84% of students responded that using their mobile devices to solve the cases influenced them to either use their mobile device in a clinical setting for a clinical and/or pharmacy-related purpose for the first time or to use it more frequently for this purpose.
The use of mobile devices to solve clinical cases in a first-year basic health science laboratory course was perceived as beneficial by students and influenced them to utilize their mobile device even more in a pharmacy practice setting.
描述药学专业学生在基础健康科学实验室中对移动设备的使用情况，并报告学生对于使用移动设备解决案例如何影响其态度、能力以及将移动设备作为药剂师工具的看法。
一年级药学专业学生在基础健康科学实验室中使用移动设备解决临床案例研究。进行了一次预调查和两次后调查，以评估学生对使用移动设备及其应用程序的舒适度、认知度、使用情况和看法。
预调查和第一次后调查的回复率均为99%，第二次后调查的回复率为100%。比较预调查和第一次后调查的数据，在同意或强烈同意使用移动设备更舒适（p = 0.025）、对药剂师应用程序的了解更多（p < 0.005）以及使用了更多对药剂师有用的应用程序（p < 0.005）的学生人数上，有统计学上的显著增加。第二次后调查表明，超过78%的学生同意或强烈同意完成案例研究使他们对移动设备更舒适、对药剂师有用的应用程序更了解，并且更赞同药剂师使用移动设备改善患者护理。此外，第二次后调查还表明，84%的学生回答说使用移动设备解决案例促使他们首次在临床环境中出于临床和/或药学相关目的使用移动设备，或者更频繁地出于此目的使用它。
在一年级基础健康科学实验室课程中使用移动设备解决临床案例被学生认为是有益的，并促使他们在药学实践环境中更多地使用移动设备。
