Diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) equips patients with diabetes with the knowledge needed for appropriate management. The purpose of this study was to compare perceptions of student confidence/aptitude held by students, pharmacy faculty preceptors, and patients regarding student teaching of a DSMES class.
The study was a prospective assessment of fourth-year ambulatory care advanced pharmacy practice experience students. Students taught a single DSMES class and evaluated their confidence using a 14-item survey before and after the class. Patients who participated in the class and a pharmacy faculty observer completed the same instrument. Responses were compared using Friedman and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests, as appropriate.
Twenty-six students completed the survey. Overall, students' self-perceived confidence scores significantly increased for all questions after teaching the DSMES class (P < .001 for all questions). Confidence scores among students and faculty preceptors were similar with no significant differences in perceived confidence. There were some significant differences found among student and patient scores, with patients assessing student's perceived self-confidence higher than the students on three items (P < .05).
Student pharmacists' perceptions of their own confidence and abilities improved from before to after teaching a DSMES class. Student and faculty preceptor confidence scores were similar. There were few differences between student and patient confidence scores, with patients rating students highly on their perceived confidence in teaching a DSMES class. Patient feedback is important to consider when evaluating student confidence and abilities.
糖尿病自我管理教育和支持（DSMES）为糖尿病患者提供适当管理所需的知识。本研究的目的是比较学生、药学教师导师和患者对学生教授 DSMES 课程的能力的看法。
该研究是对第四年门诊护理高级药学实践经验学生的前瞻性评估。学生教授了一个 DSMES 课程，并在课程前后使用 14 项调查评估他们的信心。参与课程的患者和药学教师观察员完成了相同的工具。使用 Friedman 和 Wilcoxon 符号秩检验进行了比较。
共有 26 名学生完成了调查。总体而言，学生教授 DSMES 课程后的自我感知信心评分在所有问题上均显著提高（所有问题 P<0.001）。学生和教师导师的信心评分相似，对感知信心的看法没有显著差异。在学生和患者评分之间发现了一些显著差异，患者在三个项目上评估学生的感知自我信心高于学生（P<0.05）。
学生药剂师教授 DSMES 课程前后对自己的信心和能力的看法有所提高。学生和教师导师的信心评分相似。学生和患者的信心评分差异不大，患者对学生教授 DSMES 课程的信心评价较高。在评估学生的信心和能力时，患者反馈很重要。
