We implemented and evaluated communication and interprofessional socialization after a unique rotation between final year pharmacy students and medical residents.
Pharmacy students on an advanced pharmacy practice experience (APPE) in pediatric critical care completed a standard experience with (i.e. intervention group) or without (i.e. control group) a medical resident as part of the pharmacy team. The objectives of this study were to evaluate pharmacy student social phobia, communication apprehension, interprofessional socialization, value placed on interprofessional teams, and comfort interacting with a physician as a result of the APPE. Practicality and sustainability were also evaluated.
Forty-six students participated (28 control, 18 intervention). Both groups had similar baseline characteristics and measure scores. No changes were observed in social phobia or communication apprehension. Both control and intervention groups showed improved scores in interprofessional socialization and valuing. Scores on the Self-Perceived Ability subscale of the Interprofessional Socialization and Valuing Scale increased for the intervention group, but not for the control group. Comfort interacting with a physician was higher in the intervention than the control group. Minimal changes to the APPE were made during the six-year study, and practicality and sustainability were positive.
Limited data describe interactions between pharmacy students and medical residents on APPEs. Participating students increased their comfort and self-perceived ability in interacting with a physician. Due to the limited need for extra time or financial resources, this experience could be applied and studied in additional settings to assist in preparing practice ready pharmacists.
我们在最后一年的药学学生和住院医师之间进行了一次独特的轮转后,实施并评估了沟通和跨专业社会化。
在儿科危重病学高级药学实践经验 (APPE) 中,药学学生完成了一项标准体验,其中包括(即干预组)或不包括(即对照组)作为药学团队的一部分的住院医师。本研究的目的是评估药学学生的社交恐惧症、沟通焦虑、跨专业社会化、对跨专业团队的重视以及与医生互动的舒适度,此外还评估了实用性和可持续性。
共有 46 名学生参与(28 名对照组,18 名干预组)。两组基线特征和测量得分相似。社交恐惧症或沟通焦虑均未观察到变化。对照组和干预组的跨专业社会化和重视程度均有所提高。干预组的跨专业社会化和重视量表的自我感知能力子量表得分增加,但对照组没有。干预组与医生互动的舒适度高于对照组。在六年的研究中,对 APPE 进行了最小的修改,实用性和可持续性是积极的。
有限的数据描述了药学学生和住院医师在 APPE 上的相互作用。参与的学生增加了与医生互动的舒适度和自我感知能力。由于不需要额外的时间或财务资源,这种经验可以在其他环境中应用和研究,以帮助培养准备实践的药剂师。
