To determine the impact of authentic clinical tasks on student confidence in interprofessional communication and assess the perceptions of pharmacists and pharmacy undergraduate students on how their degree prepares them to communicate and integrate with other healthcare professionals.
Pharmacists completed a questionnaire regarding how their degree prepared them to communicate with other healthcare professionals. Third- and fourth-year pharmacy undergraduate students completed a modified questionnaire with questions relating to interprofessional learning and their experiences of reflective interprofessional communication tasks whilst on hospital placement. The questionnaires produced a combination of qualitative and quantitative data.
Pharmacists (n = 36) and pharmacy students (n = 186) were in agreement that interprofessional training is important for undergraduate pharmacy students. Over 80% of student respondents viewed the interprofessional communication skills task as a useful method to develop communication skills with an increase in confidence following completion of the task. A variety of methods ranging from classroom- to practical-based sessions may be used to develop communication skills and professional socialism.
Interprofessional learning has an important role for all working within the multidisciplinary healthcare team and contributes to the development of collaborative working relationships. It should be introduced and reinforced throughout undergraduate studies and continued in the workplace.
确定真实临床任务对学生跨专业交流信心的影响，并评估药剂师和药学本科学生对其学位如何使他们做好与其他医疗保健专业人员交流和整合的准备的看法。
药剂师完成了一份关于其学位如何使他们做好与其他医疗保健专业人员交流准备的问卷。三、四年级药学本科学生完成了一份经过修改的问卷，其中包含与跨专业学习以及他们在医院实习期间反思性跨专业交流任务经历相关的问题。这些问卷产生了定性和定量数据的组合。
药剂师（n = 36）和药学专业学生（n = 186）一致认为跨专业培训对本科药学专业学生很重要。超过80%的学生受访者认为跨专业交流技能任务是培养交流技能的有用方法，完成任务后信心有所增强。从课堂到实践的各种课程都可用于培养交流技能和职业素养。
跨专业学习对多学科医疗团队中的所有成员都具有重要作用，并有助于建立协作工作关系。应在本科学习期间引入并强化跨专业学习，并在工作场所持续进行。
