This commentary is based on the experience of teaching and observations of how pharmacy technician students can expand their perspective on patient safety by using real-life student-gathered patient data collected from community pharmacies. Pharmacy technicians in Denmark work extensively with counselling on the safe and efficient use of medications. Final-year pharmacy technician students can take the elective course in Clinical Pharmacy in Community Pharmacy, which targets the students who wish to work in depth with patient communication and quality assurance in counselling. One assignment that forms part of the course is for students to collect data about patients' beliefs about medications. Teachers' observations suggest that when students gather and work with their own data, they change their perspective on patients' beliefs about medications. It also strengthens the students' awareness of their responsibility for ensuring patient safety and contributes valid data to research in pharmacy practice.
本评论基于教学经验以及对药学技术专业学生如何通过使用从社区药房收集的真实学生收集的患者数据来拓展其对患者安全的认识的观察。丹麦的药学技术人员在药物安全有效使用的咨询方面工作广泛。药学技术专业的最后一年学生可以参加社区药房临床药学选修课程,该课程针对希望深入从事患者沟通和咨询质量保证工作的学生。该课程的一项作业是让学生收集有关患者对药物的看法的数据。教师的观察表明,当学生收集并处理自己的数据时,他们会改变对患者药物看法的认识。这也增强了学生对确保患者安全责任的认识,并为药学实践研究提供了有效的数据。
