Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Many predictors of success on the North American Pharmacist Licensure Exam (NAPLEX) have been studied, but little information is available regarding the effect of assessments in the clinical skills setting on student success. One way to determine if these assessments affect NAPLEX success is to review student performance in clinical skills laboratory courses (termed patient care lab ["PCL"] at our institution), which incorporate such assessments.

METHODS

Students (n = 88) enrolled in a four quarter PCL sequence completed several individual assessments (both knowledge and skills-based), including drug information (DI) quizzes/final exams, patient case presentations and associated critical thinking questions, and formal DI responses. Linear regression assessed the relationship between PCL assessments and NAPLEX scores. Statistical tests were performed using IBM SPSS version 22 with a p-value <0.05 considered significant.

RESULTS

While drug information responses were not predictive of total NAPLEX scores (p = 0.192), the patient case presentation and associated critical thinking questions predicted 31.1% of variability (p < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

Performance of one cohort of students on certain pharmacy clinical skills lab assessments was predictive of total scores on the NAPLEX. Students who struggle with assessments in the clinical skills lab setting may be targets for early intervention to help improve the likelihood of success. More research is needed to fully elucidate the relationship between assessments in the clinical skills lab setting and NAPLEX performance.

摘要

引言

人们已经对北美药剂师执照考试(NAPLEX)成功的许多预测因素进行了研究,但关于临床技能环境中的评估对学生成功的影响,相关信息却很少。确定这些评估是否会影响 NAPLEX 成功的一种方法是回顾学生在临床技能实验室课程(在我们学校称为患者护理实验室 ["PCL"])中的表现,这些课程包含此类评估。

方法

参加为期四个季度的 PCL 课程的学生(n = 88)完成了几项个人评估(包括基于知识和技能的评估),包括药物信息(DI)测验/期末考试、患者病例展示及相关批判性思维问题,以及正式的 DI 回答。线性回归评估了 PCL 评估与 NAPLEX 分数之间的关系。使用 IBM SPSS 22版进行统计检验,p 值<0.05被认为具有统计学意义。

结果

虽然药物信息回答不能预测 NAPLEX 总分(p = 0.192),但患者病例展示及相关批判性思维问题可预测31.1%的变异性(p < 0.05)。

结论

一组学生在某些药学临床技能实验室评估中的表现可预测 NAPLEX 的总分。在临床技能实验室环境中评估存在困难的学生可能是早期干预的对象,以帮助提高成功的可能性。需要更多研究来充分阐明临床技能实验室环境中的评估与 NAPLEX 表现之间的关系。
