OBJECTIVES
To describe pharmacy students' attitude towards providing pharmaceutical care (PC) to patients with anxiety and their knowledge of psychotropic medicines (PM).
METHODS
A cross-sectional emailed survey was sent to all 200 pharmacy students (fourth and fifth year) in one Jordanian university. Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics and chi-square test.
KEY FINDINGS
A total of 134 responses were received (response rate 67%). About two-thirds of students (87, 64.9%) would like to give enough time to patients with anxiety to discuss their medications. Only half of students knew correctly that alprazolam (53.7%) and diazepam (50.0%) are categorized as anxiolytics. Undertaking a course in psychiatry was significantly associated with better students' knowledge in PM (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
Despite positive attitudes towards providing PC to patients with anxiety, policy makers should include courses on psychiatric pharmacotherapy in pharmacy curricula to improve pharmacy students' knowledge of PM.
目的
描述药学专业学生对为焦虑症患者提供药物治疗管理（PC）的态度，以及他们对精神类药物（PM）的了解。
方法
对约旦一所大学的 200 名药学专业学生（四年级和五年级）进行了一项横断面电子邮件调查。统计分析包括描述性统计和卡方检验。
主要发现
共收到 134 份回复（回复率为 67%）。约三分之二的学生（87 名，64.9%）愿意花足够的时间与焦虑症患者讨论他们的药物治疗方案。只有一半的学生正确地知道阿普唑仑（53.7%）和地西泮（50.0%）属于抗焦虑药。修读精神病学课程与学生对 PM 的知识掌握情况较好显著相关（P<0.05）。
结论
尽管学生对为焦虑症患者提供 PC 的态度积极，但政策制定者应在药学课程中纳入精神药理学课程，以提高药学学生对 PM 的了解。
