The objective of this review was to characterize the methods of delivery and assessment of Choose Your Own Adventure (CYOA)-style activities in pharmacy education. A secondary objective was to utilize available data to determine best practices for educators interested in developing similar activities.
A meta-narrative approach according to the guidance of the RAMESES standards was used for this review. A broad literature search was conducted using PubMed and Embase. Studies published on the use of a CYOA-style patient case format in pharmacy education were identified and appraised individually for their relevance.
Thirteen studies from the pharmacy education literature were included in the review. Activities were delivered for 25 unique topics, largely in small groups during class via patient simulation or interactive data collection software. Overall, students have a positive perception of CYOA-style activities, with positive results regarding knowledge development and student engagement. The most commonly reported challenge to implementing CYOA-style patient case activities was the up-front time commitment to develop activities.
This review provides a snapshot of the small but expanding body of literature on CYOA-style patient case activities in pharmacy education. CYOA-style activities are recommended for expanded use in pharmacy education as the preponderance of studies that assessed knowledge development showed significant improvement in knowledge after participation in CYOA-style activities. Additionally, students have a positive perception of CYOA-style activities and reported that they were enjoyable, improved their confidence, and helped them learn course material.
本综述旨在描述在药学教育中采用选择自己的冒险（CYOA）式活动的方法和评估方式。次要目的是利用现有数据为有兴趣开发类似活动的教育工作者确定最佳实践。
根据 RAMESES 标准的指导，本综述采用了元叙述方法。使用 PubMed 和 Embase 进行了广泛的文献检索。确定并单独评估了发表在药学教育中使用 CYOA 式患者案例格式的研究，以确定其相关性。
从药学教育文献中纳入了 13 项研究。活动针对 25 个独特的主题，主要在课堂上通过患者模拟或互动数据收集软件以小组形式进行。总体而言，学生对 CYOA 式活动的看法积极，在知识发展和学生参与方面取得了积极成果。实施 CYOA 式患者案例活动最常报告的挑战是开发活动的前期时间承诺。
本综述提供了药学教育中 CYOA 式患者案例活动的小但不断扩大的文献的快照。建议在药学教育中扩大使用 CYOA 式活动，因为评估知识发展的大多数研究表明，学生在参与 CYOA 式活动后知识显著提高。此外，学生对 CYOA 式活动的看法积极，并表示活动有趣、增强了信心并帮助他们学习课程材料。
