The objective of this project was to assess the impact of self-care scenario simulations on first year doctor of pharmacy student performance and self-perceived confidence in applying the Pharmacists' Patient Care Process (PPCP) during self-care encounters.
Self-care scenarios were developed and used during low fidelity simulations in laboratory sessions in a skills-based course. Students met individually with faculty facilitators role-playing patients to apply the PPCP in four simulations. Facilitators graded student performance; a comparison was made between performance on the first and fourth simulation. Students completed a pre- and post-course survey regarding their self-perceived confidence in performance and knowledge in applying the PPCP in self-care encounters.
One hundred and eight (100%) of enrolled students voluntarily agreed to participate in this IRB-approved study. The median percentage of student scores on the fourth simulation, 90.7%, was higher compared to the median percentage of student scores on the first simulation, 82.4%, P < 0.001 with a raw difference of 8.3 percentage points, for participants with scores for both simulations, 106 (98%). For the self-perceived PPCP confidence survey, 100 (92.5%) participants completed both pre- and post-course surveys. Self-perceived confidence on 12 of the 15 survey items where students ranked their confidence in performance and knowledge in self-care encounters increased post- versus pre-course.
Simulations served as a useful tool in improving student performance in applying the PPCP in self-care encounters in a first year doctor of pharmacy course. Student self-perceived confidence in performance and knowledge in self-care encounters also increased.
本项目旨在评估自我护理情景模拟对药学专业一年级学生的影响，以及其在自我护理过程中应用药剂师患者护理流程（PPCP）的自我效能感。
在技能课程的实验室课程中，使用低保真度模拟开发了自我护理情景，并将其用于模拟中。学生与教师辅导员一对一角色扮演患者，在四个模拟中应用 PPCP。辅导员对学生的表现进行评分，并对前四个模拟的表现进行比较。学生在课前和课后完成了关于自我效能感和知识的调查，内容涉及他们在自我护理过程中应用 PPCP 的自我效能感和知识。
共有 108 名（100%）注册学生自愿同意参与这项经 IRB 批准的研究。在第四轮模拟中，学生得分的中位数为 90.7%，高于第一轮模拟的中位数 82.4%，P < 0.001，相差 8.3 个百分点，对于两轮模拟都有得分的参与者，106 名（98%）。对于自我感知 PPCP 信心调查，100 名（92.5%）参与者完成了课前和课后的调查。在 15 项调查项目中的 12 项中，学生对自己在自我护理过程中的表现和知识的信心进行了排名，课前和课后的信心都有所提高。
模拟是提高药学专业一年级学生在自我护理课程中应用 PPCP 能力的有效工具。学生在自我护理过程中的自我效能感和知识也有所提高。
