Introduction

Urine drug tests (UDTs) are commonly used in the healthcare setting to monitor adherence, abuse, and diversion of controlled substances. The goal of our study was to assess the knowledge and perceptions of third-year pharmacy students on UDTs following an educational experience.

Methods

Third-year pharmacy students completed pre- and post-questionnaires following a skills laboratory focused on the use of UDTs in clinical settings. The 34-item questionnaires consisted of three domains: demographics, knowledge regarding UDTs, and personal perceptions of UDTs. A pre-lab teaching podcast was assigned prior to the laboratory session, and two clinical cases were discussed during the live UDT segment. Descriptive statistics were used to assess demographics, and changes in knowledge and perceptions of UDTs were evaluated using chi-square and Mann-Whitney U, respectively, with an a priori alpha of 0.05.

Results

One hundred twenty students were included in the analysis. Students in the laboratory were predominately female (n = 72, 60%), Caucasian (n = 84, 70%), and had no prior training with UDTs (n = 104, 86.7%). Student knowledge of UDT interpretation significantly increased from 57% to 71% (four and five correct answers out of seven, respectively). Confidence interpreting UDTs and answering questions related to UDTs also increased significantly. Students felt the laboratory experience was valuable, with 84.2% agreeing or strongly agreeing.

Conclusions

Educational programming focused on UDTs improves student confidence interpreting results and knowledge related to the use of UDTs.

在药学技能实验室后评估药学学生对尿液药物测试的知识和看法

介绍

尿液药物测试 (UDT) 常用于医疗保健环境,以监测受控物质的依从性、滥用和转移。我们研究的目的是评估三年级药学学生在接受教育后对 UDT 的知识和看法。

方法

在专注于 UDT 在临床环境中使用的技能实验室之后,三年级药学学生完成了问卷前和问卷后。34 项问卷包括三个领域:人口统计学、有关 UDT 的知识和对 UDT 的个人看法。在实验室会议之前分配了实验室前教学播客,并在现场 UDT 部分讨论了两个临床案例。描述性统计用于评估人口统计学,并分别使用卡方和 Mann-Whitney U 评估对 UDT 的知识和看法的变化,先验alpha 为 0.05。

结果

120 名学生被纳入分析。实验室的学生主要是女性 ( n  = 72, 60%)、白种人 ( n  = 84, 70%),并且之前没有接受过 UDT 培训 ( n  = 104, 86.7%)。学生对 UDT 口译的了解从 57% 显着增加到 71%(分别为七分之四和五分正确答案)。解释 UDT 和回答与 UDT 相关的问题的信心也显着增加。学生们认为实验室体验很有价值,84.2% 的学生同意或非常同意。

结论

专注于 UDT 的教育计划提高了学生解释与 UDT 使用相关的结果和知识的信心。
