The objective of this study was to evaluate pharmacy student intervention documentation during their clinical experiential rotations and to gain insight on their perceptions of this experience.
This was an institutional review board approved descriptive study of pharmacy student interventions documented during one academic year. Students documented interventions using a pharmacy-specific system in the electronic medical record. Pharmacy student feedback regarding the process and utility of intervention documentation was assessed using a brief anonymous, voluntary, three-min online survey tool.
In total, 894 clinical interventions were documented by 32 students (585 by 11 fourth-year students, 309 by 21 second- and third-year students). Most interventions were categorized as other (28%), followed by change in dose, frequency or, route (26.5%). The acceptance rate was 89.5% and associated cost savings were $166,551 ($186.30 per intervention). Student survey responses were generally positive and recommended continuing the documentation process in the future.
This study provides insight into the concept of second- and third-year pharmacy student clinical intervention documentation, with comparison to fourth-year documentation. Future studies exploring pharmacy student intervention documentation may be valuable (e.g., expanding pharmacy services, demonstrating student impact on patient care, strategies to best facilitate learning).
本研究旨在评估药学专业学生在临床实习期间的干预记录情况，并深入了解他们对这一经历的看法。
这是一项经过机构审查委员会批准的描述性研究，对一学年期间药学专业学生的干预记录进行了评估。学生使用电子病历中的特定药学系统记录干预措施。通过简短的匿名、自愿、三分钟在线调查工具，评估学生对干预记录过程和实用性的反馈。
共有 32 名学生记录了 894 次临床干预（11 名四年级学生记录了 585 次，21 名二、三年级学生记录了 309 次）。大多数干预措施被归类为其他类（28%），其次是剂量、频率或途径的改变（26.5%）。接受率为 89.5%，相关节省成本为 166,551 美元（每次干预 186.30 美元）。学生的调查反馈总体上是积极的，并建议未来继续进行记录过程。
本研究深入了解了二、三年级药学专业学生临床干预记录的概念，并与四年级的记录进行了比较。未来探索药学专业学生干预记录的研究可能具有价值（例如，扩大药学服务、展示学生对患者护理的影响、促进学习的最佳策略）。
