Introduction

The Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education Standard 10 specifies the need to prepare students to provide patient-centered collaborative care. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of a newly introduced Pharmacists' Patient Care Process (PPCP) based laboratory course on students' perception of their preparedness to apply PPCP steps in introductory pharmacy practice experiences (IPPEs).

Methods

The PPCP was introduced into the Pharmaceutical Care and Dispensing Laboratory course during the second professional year. Students' self-perception of preparedness to apply the PPCP was assessed via a survey composed of questions related to PPCP skillsets. The pre-PPCP laboratory cohort (control group) took the survey after the completion of their IPPEs. The PPCP laboratory cohort (intervention group) took the same survey prior to taking the course, at the end of the course, and following the completion of their IPPEs. Pearson's and McNemar chi-square tests were used for statistical analyses.

Results

The findings indicate that the PPCP-based laboratory significantly improved students' perception of their preparedness to apply a standardized pharmacist care process to verify prescriptions, to collect relevant patient information, and to develop an individual patient-centered care plan. This significant impact of the PPCP-based laboratory course on students' perception was maintained through the following year when assessed after IPPEs.

Conclusions

Introduction of the PPCP model within a dispensing laboratory course, prior to students' IPPEs, develops students' perception of preparedness. Incorporating the PPCP via active learning and simulation narrows the gap between the didactic and experiential curriculum.

药剂师患者护理过程的课程整合

介绍

药学教育认证委员会标准 10 规定需要让学生做好提供以患者为中心的协作护理的准备。本研究的目的是评估新引入的基于药剂师患者护理过程 (PPCP) 的实验室课程对学生对其在介绍性药学实践经验 (IPPE) 中应用 PPCP 步骤的准备程度的看法的影响。

方法

在第二个专业年期间，PPCP 被引入了药学护理和配药实验室课程。通过由与 PPCP 技能组相关的问题组成的调查，评估了学生对应用 PPCP 准备情况的自我认知。PPCP 前实验室队列（对照组）在完成 IPPE 后进行了调查。PPCP 实验室队列（干预组）在参加课程之前、课程结束时和完成他们的 IPPE 之后进行了相同的调查。Pearson 和 McNemar 卡方检验用于统计分析。

结果

研究结果表明，基于 PPCP 的实验室显着提高了学生对他们准备好应用标准化药剂师护理流程来验证处方、收集相关患者信息以及制定以患者为中心的个人护理计划的认知。在 IPPE 之后进行评估时，基于 PPCP 的实验室课程对学生感知的这种显着影响一直持续到下一年。

结论

在学生进行 IPPE 之前，在配药实验室课程中引入 PPCP 模型，可以培养学生对准备的看法。通过主动学习和模拟结合 PPCP 缩小了教学和体验课程之间的差距。
