To describe the implementation of a pediatric vaccination training for student pharmacists and to assess student confidence in providing pediatric vaccinations after taking part in a mixed media, traditional lecture, and active learning, formatted training course.
Student pharmacists were trained with a two-hour pediatric immunization training module which consisted of materials to detail administration techniques. Students were assessed using a live skills assessment and a multiple-choice knowledge examination. To assess student confidence in these skills, the students were given a pre- and post-instruction survey which was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test.
All 170 students enrolled successfully completed the knowledge assessment with an average score of 87% (SD 10%). The skills assessment items most commonly needing remediation were verifying that caregivers received the Vaccine Information Sheet (24%) and reviewing comfort measures and after care instructions with the caregiver (24%). The pre-course survey was completed by 169 out of 170 student pharmacists (99.4%) while the post-course survey was completed by 164 student pharmacists (96.4%) with each item showing a statistically significant increase in perceived confidence in vaccine administration.
Pediatric vaccination training was integrated into a doctor of pharmacy curriculum with the goals of increasing student knowledge and confidence in giving pediatric immunizations. Upon course completion, there was a statistically significant increase in student-perceived knowledge and confidence when administering pediatric immunizations. By expanding access to pediatric immunizers, pharmacists can aid in increasing immunization rates improving public health in their communities.
描述针对学生药剂师开展的儿科疫苗接种培训的实施情况，并评估学生在参加了一个包含混合媒体、传统讲座和主动学习的格式化培训课程后进行儿科疫苗接种的信心。
学生药剂师接受了一个两小时的儿科免疫培训模块，其中包括详细讲解给药技术的材料。通过现场技能评估和多项选择题知识考试对学生进行评估。为了评估学生对这些技能的信心，在教学前后对学生进行了问卷调查，并使用曼-惠特尼U检验进行分析。
所有170名注册学生均成功完成了知识评估，平均成绩为87%（标准差10%）。最常需要改进的技能评估项目是确认看护人是否收到了疫苗信息表（24%）以及与看护人一起复习安抚措施和接种后护理说明（24%）。170名学生药剂师中有169名（99.4%）完成了课前调查，164名（96.4%）完成了课后调查，每项调查结果显示学生在疫苗接种方面的信心在统计学上有显著提高。
儿科疫苗接种培训已纳入药学博士课程，目标是增加学生在进行儿科免疫接种方面的知识和信心。课程结束后，学生在进行儿科免疫接种时，在知识和信心方面有统计学上的显著提高。通过扩大儿科免疫接种人员的范围，药剂师可以帮助提高免疫接种率，改善所在社区的公共卫生状况。
