The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate student's perceptions of a student led journal club.
There were four, paired student led journal club sessions throughout the five week Women's and Men's Health Pharmacotherapy course. Journal club topics expanded upon didactic lecture material. A voluntary end-of-course survey was administered. Survey questions pertained to student's perception of the activity. Course and journal club grades were collected to identify correlations between demographics and performance.
All 91 students were given the survey (92.3% completion rate). Most students had not completed the journal club elective course or a journal club presentation previously (84.5% and 70.2%, respectively). Post-intervention prior to the course, most students did not feel confident in evaluating primary literature or presenting a journal club (61.9% and 59.5%, respectively). By the end of the course, most students felt an improvement in confidence in evaluating primary literature and presenting a journal club (88.1% and 89.3%, respectively). Most students agreed the journal club activities adequately complemented course material and was a beneficial course component (84.5% and 85.7%, respectively). Students felt better prepared for their Doctoral Candidate Seminar and pharmacy year four experiential rotations (76.1% and 86.9% respectively). Overall students reported that the journal club activity should be included in future courses (79.7%). The only parameter that predicted student confidence to present the journal club was completion of a journal club prior to the course. (p = 0.013) SUMMARY: Students perceived the journal club presentation in a pharmacotherapy module to be beneficial and agreed it should be included in future courses.
本研究的主要目的是评估学生对由学生主导的期刊俱乐部的看法。
在为期五周的《男女健康药物治疗学》课程中，共举办了四次由学生配对主导的期刊俱乐部活动。期刊俱乐部的主题是对课堂讲授内容的拓展。课程结束时进行了一项自愿调查。调查问题涉及学生对该活动的看法。收集了课程成绩和期刊俱乐部成绩，以确定人口统计学特征与表现之间的相关性。
共向91名学生发放了调查问卷（完成率为92.3%）。大多数学生此前未修过期刊俱乐部选修课程或进行过期刊俱乐部展示（分别为84.5%和70.2%）。在课程开始前的干预后阶段，大多数学生对评估原始文献或进行期刊俱乐部展示缺乏信心（分别为61.9%和59.5%）。到课程结束时，大多数学生对评估原始文献和进行期刊俱乐部展示的信心有所提高（分别为88.1%和89.3%）。大多数学生认为期刊俱乐部活动充分补充了课程材料，是课程的有益组成部分（分别为84.5%和85.7%）。学生们对博士候选人研讨会和药学四年级实践轮转的准备更充分了（分别为76.1%和86.9%）。总体而言，学生们表示期刊俱乐部活动应纳入未来的课程（79.7%）。预测学生进行期刊俱乐部展示信心的唯一参数是在课程开始前是否参加过期刊俱乐部。（p = 0.013）总结：学生们认为药物治疗模块中的期刊俱乐部展示有益，并同意应将其纳入未来课程。
