Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) is an integrated, team-based approach to optimizing patient outcomes during acute cardiovascular events. Due to the fast-paced, high-stress environment, inherent strengths may impact performance and confidence with ACLS skills. The objective of this study was to assess pharmacist perceptions regarding strengths deemed important during emergency cardiovascular response.
An electronic survey was administered to members of the American College of Clinical Pharmacists Critical Care, Cardiology, Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine and Pediatrics Practice and Research Network listservs. The survey assessed the top 5 strengths deemed important for being part of an emergency response team, a pharmacist's role in ACLS and a team leader's role in ACLS. The primary outcome was top strengths required for pharmacist involvement in ACLS. Descriptive statistics were used to present survey results.
Of the 359 responses included, nearly all respondents had been certified by the American Heart Association in ACLS and/or Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS). The top CliftonStrengths themes considered important for a pharmacist's role in ACLS were communication, adaptability, analytical, focus and responsibility. The top CliftonStrengths themes considered important for the team leader's role in ACLS were communication, command, analytical, focus and adaptability. The top CliftonStrengths themes important for an emergency response team were communication, adaptability, focus, analytical and command.
By determining the personality traits perceived to be associated with high performance in ACLS, approaches can be taken to personalize student learning in order to train "practice-ready" pharmacists that can be integral members of the ACLS team.
高级心血管生命支持 (ACLS) 是一种综合的、基于团队的方法，旨在优化急性心血管事件期间患者的治疗效果。由于环境紧张且节奏快，个人的固有优势可能会影响 ACLS 技能的表现和信心。本研究的目的是评估药剂师对在紧急心血管反应中认为重要的优势的看法。
向美国临床药师协会危重病、心脏病学、内科、急诊医学和儿科学实践与研究网络列表服务的成员发送了一份电子调查。该调查评估了被认为是紧急反应团队成员、药剂师在 ACLS 中的角色以及团队领导者在 ACLS 中的角色的前 5 个最重要的优势。主要结果是药剂师参与 ACLS 所需的优势。使用描述性统计数据来呈现调查结果。
在 359 份回复中，几乎所有受访者都通过了美国心脏协会的 ACLS 和/或儿科高级生命支持 (PALS) 认证。被认为对药剂师在 ACLS 中的角色重要的前 5 个克利夫顿优势主题是沟通、适应能力、分析能力、专注和责任感。被认为对 ACLS 中团队领导者角色重要的前 5 个克利夫顿优势主题是沟通、指挥、分析、专注和适应能力。被认为对紧急反应团队重要的前 5 个克利夫顿优势主题是沟通、适应能力、专注、分析和指挥。
通过确定与 ACLS 中高绩效相关的人格特质，可以采取措施使学生的学习个性化，以便培养能够成为 ACLS 团队不可或缺成员的“实践准备”药剂师。
