To investigate pharmacy students' attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control, intentions and their behaviour towards patient safety using a theory of planned behaviour framework.
Mixed-methods research.
Private university in Malaysia.
Pharmacy undergraduate students participated in the study. There were 18 students participated in the qualitative study and 272 students responded to the survey questionnaire.
A convergent parallel-mixed method design, involving a quantitative survey and qualitative focus group discussions was used among pharmacy students in a private university in Malaysia. Qualitative data of transcribed verbatim texts were then subjected to a thematic content analysis framework. Multiple correlations were undertaken using the quantitative data to examine how the dependent variable (self-reported knowledge) related to the independent variables (attitudes, behavioural intentions, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control.
Pharmacy students' attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control, behavioural intentions constructs led to their behaviour towards patient safety.
The quantitative study revealed that there was a moderate positive correlation between students' self-reported knowledge and attitudes (r=0.48, p=0.03).
Pharmacy students' attitudes and perceived behavioural control constructs had positive correlations with pharmacy students' self-reported knowledge on patient safety. There was no correlation between students' self-reported knowledge and subjective norms (r=0.27, p=0.23). There was a weak positive correlation between students' self-reported knowledge and perceived behavioural control (r=0.39, p=0.04). There was no correlation between students' self-reported knowledge and behavioural intention (r=0.20, p=0.56).
Theory of planned behaviour constructs such as attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control and behavioural intentions of pharmacy students, defined their behaviour towards patient safety. Pharmacy students' attitudes and perceived behavioural control constructs were correlated with their self-reported knowledge on patient safety.
运用计划行为理论框架,调查药学专业学生对患者安全的态度、主观规范、感知行为控制、意向及其行为。
混合方法研究。
马来西亚私立大学。
药学专业本科生参与了这项研究。有 18 名学生参加了定性研究,272 名学生回答了问卷调查。
在马来西亚一所私立大学的药学专业学生中采用了一种收敛平行混合方法设计,包括定量调查和定性焦点小组讨论。然后,对转录的原文进行主题内容分析框架分析。使用定量数据进行多元相关分析,以检验因变量(自我报告的知识)与自变量(态度、行为意向、主观规范、感知行为控制)之间的关系。
药学专业学生对患者安全的态度、主观规范、感知行为控制和行为意向结构导致了他们的行为。
定量研究显示,学生自我报告的知识与态度之间存在中度正相关(r=0.48,p=0.03)。
药学专业学生的态度和感知行为控制结构与药学专业学生自我报告的患者安全知识呈正相关。学生自我报告的知识与主观规范之间无相关性(r=0.27,p=0.23)。学生自我报告的知识与感知行为控制之间存在弱正相关(r=0.39,p=0.04)。学生自我报告的知识与行为意向之间无相关性(r=0.20,p=0.56)。
药学专业学生的计划行为理论构念,如态度、主观规范、感知行为控制和行为意向,决定了他们对患者安全的行为。药学专业学生的态度和感知行为控制构念与他们自我报告的患者安全知识相关。
