To gain insights into pharmacy students' experiences in learning human anatomy using qualitative interviews and thematic analysis. Participants included Master of Pharmacy students at the end of their first year or the beginning of their second year. The study used a transcendental phenomenological design. Data were collected using semi-structured individual interviews that were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Thematic analysis was used to identify structural and textural components of participants' experiences using data management software. Sixteen participants were recruited and interviewed. Students described developing an understanding of anatomy that differed from their previous experiences, focusing on variation in anatomical structures between patients, and developing professional attributes such as empathy and respect. Students described haptic learning that acted as a hook on which to anchor additional learning from textbooks and lectures. Finally, students perceived the experience as valuable to their future careers as caring professionals. The results of this qualitative study demonstrate that the value of teaching anatomy to undergraduate students goes beyond developing a broad knowledge of anatomical structures, but also engages a deeper conceptual appreciation of professionalism, thereby inducting them into a community of professional practice.
为了深入了解药学专业学生在学习人体解剖学时的体验，我们采用定性访谈和主题分析的方法进行研究。参与者包括在第一学年末或第二学年初的药学硕士学生。本研究采用了先验现象学设计。通过半结构化的个人访谈收集数据，并逐字记录和转录。使用数据管理软件，对参与者体验的结构和纹理成分进行主题分析。共招募并采访了 16 名参与者。学生们描述了他们对解剖学的理解与以往经验不同，重点是关注患者之间解剖结构的差异，并发展出同理心和尊重等专业属性。学生们描述了触觉学习，它作为一个钩子，将从课本和讲座中获得的额外学习固定下来。最后，学生们认为这种体验对他们未来作为关爱专业人员的职业生涯很有价值。这项定性研究的结果表明，向本科学生教授解剖学的价值不仅在于培养对解剖结构的广泛了解，还在于使他们更深入地理解专业性，从而将他们引入专业实践社区。
