As social determinants of health (SDOH) and health disparities are integrated with cultural competence in healthcare education, tools assessing multiple topics are needed. The Self-Assessment of Perceived Level of Cultural Competence (SAPLCC) survey is validated in student pharmacists and includes SDOH. The research objective was to determine if the SAPLCC survey can quantify cultural competence and SDOH course learning. First-year student pharmacists (N = 87) completed the SAPLCC survey anonymously before and after a social and administrative sciences course. The survey had 75 items with 1-4 Likert scales (4 high, total 300 points). All items were summed for the total score. Each item was assigned to a domain and factor. Factors were assigned to domains. The baseline total score was 190 ± 29 points, increasing by 63 ± 33 points post-course. All domains (i.e., knowledge, skills, attitudes, encounters, abilities, awareness), 13 of 14 factors, and total scores statistically increased. The SAPLCC tool captured student pharmacists' self-reported changes in cultural competence and SDOH.
由于健康的社会决定因素(SDOH)和健康差异在医疗保健教育中与文化能力相结合,因此需要评估多个主题的工具。文化能力感知水平自我评估(SAPLCC)调查在药学专业学生中得到验证,且涵盖了健康的社会决定因素。本研究的目的是确定SAPLCC调查能否量化文化能力和健康的社会决定因素课程学习情况。一年级药学专业学生(N = 87)在一门社会与行政科学课程前后匿名完成了SAPLCC调查。该调查有75个项目,采用1 - 4级李克特量表(4表示高分,总分300分)。所有项目得分相加即为总分。每个项目被分配到一个领域和一个因子。因子被分配到各个领域。基线总分是190 ± 29分,课程结束后增加了63 ± 33分。所有领域(即知识、技能、态度、接触、能力、意识)、14个因子中的13个以及总分在统计学上均有所增加。SAPLCC工具捕捉到了药学专业学生在文化能力和健康的社会决定因素方面自我报告的变化。
