Objective
Determine the effectiveness of TIMER (Tool to Improve Medications in the Elderly via Review) in helping pharmacists and pharmacy students identify drug-related problems during patient medication reviews.Methods
In a randomized, controlled study design, geriatric patient cases were sent to 136 pharmacists and 108 third-year pharmacy students who were asked to identify drug related-problems (DRPs) with and without using TIMER.Results
Pharmacists identified more tool-related DRPs using TIMER (p = 0.027). Pharmacy students identified more tool-related DRPs using TIMER in the first case (p = 0.02), but not in the second.Conclusion
TIMER increased the number of DRPs identified by practicing pharmacists and pharmacy students during medication reviews of hypothetical patient cases. 相似文献3.

Objective
To assess the impact of an elective clinical research course on second- and third-year pharmacy students'' knowledge of clinical research methods, training programs, career options, and interest in pursuing postgraduate training.Design
A 2-credit hour elective course in clinical research was designed that included lectures, discussions, workshops, and in-class presentations related to study design and implementation, protocol synthesis, research evaluation, ethical and legal considerations, data analysis, and professional opportunities involving clinical research. Learner knowledge of these topics was assessed using several methods, including 3 assignments related to research protocol, ethical documentation, and presentation.Assessment
A survey instrument designed to evaluate the effect the course had on pharmacy students'' knowledge of clinical research methods and interest in pursuing postgraduate training in clinical research was administered. Students who completed the elective had a greater level of familiarity with research-related topics, training options, and career opportunities (p < 0.05) and a greater interest in pursuing a career in clinical research (p < 0.05) than did students in a matched control group.Conclusion
Taking a 2-credit hour elective course in clinical research increased pharmacy students'' interest in pursuing a career in clinical research. 相似文献4.
Objectives
To determine the impact of a landmark trials elective course on pharmacy students'' attitudes toward evidence-based medicine, students'' comfort with technical concepts used in drug literature, and students'' perceptions of accessibility of PubMed from home computers.Design
An elective course which gave third-year pharmacy students the opportunity to discuss landmark trials in primary care and reinforced skills in applying evidence from the primary literature to support therapeutic recommendations was design and implemented. The impact of the course was evaluated via a pre- and postcourse questionnaire administered during 3 consecutive course offerings.Assessment
Overall, students had positive attitudes toward evidence-based medicine before taking the course (97.5% positive or somewhat positive) and these attitudes were unchanged postcourse (p = 0.74). Though 97.6% (n = 40) of students had Internet access at home, only 68.3% (n = 28) indicated having PubMed access at home. The course increased self-assessed comfort with technical concepts used in literature evaluation including random assignment (p < 0.01), placebo-controlled (p < 0.01), and intention-to-treat (p = 0.02).Conclusion
An elective course on landmark trials allowed third-year pharmacy students to increase their comfort level with literature evaluation and reinforced their positive attitudes toward the use of evidence-based medicine in pharmacy practice. 相似文献5.

Objective
To evaluate an instructional module''s effectiveness at changing third-year doctor of pharmacy (PharmD) students'' ability to identify and correct prescribing errors.Design
Students were randomized into 2 groups. Using a computer-based module, group 1 completed worksheet A, watched a presentation on medication errors, and then completed worksheets B and C. Group 2 completed worksheets A and B, watched the presentation, and then completed worksheet C.Assessment
Both groups scored a median 50% on worksheet A and 66.7% on worksheet C (p < 0.001). Median scores on worksheet B differed between groups (p = 0.0014). Group 1 viewed the presentation before completing worksheet B and scored 62.5%, while group 2 viewed the presentation after scoring 50% on worksheet B.Conclusion
The module effectively taught pharmacy students to identify and correct prescribing errors. 相似文献6.

Objective
To establish low-cost easily conducted health promotion interventions for advanced pharmacy practice experience (APPE) students in community pharmacy settings that would increase women''s awareness about health issues using Food and Drug Administration (FDA) educational materials.Methods
Students distributed fact sheets on medication use, heart disease, and diabetes to women over 45 years of age at 6 community pharmacy APPE sites. Interventions completed were either personal medication records (PMR) to identify medication-related problems (MRP) or heart health screenings followed by completion of an anonymous patient satisfaction survey instrument.Results
Over 1500 fact sheets were distributed. Fifty-eight women (age 61 ± 15 years) completed PMRs, which identified 57 MRPs in 42 patients. Twenty-four women indicated the screening was “useful/very useful” for increasing medication understanding. Sixty-three women completed heart health screenings. Thirty-one of the 40 who completed the survey instrument indicated the screening was “useful/very useful” for learning heart disease risk.Conclusions
Community pharmacy APPE students interventions identified MRPs and patients at risk for heart disease. These health promotion interventions enhanced women''s awareness of these topics while guiding students to achieve the desired curricular outcomes. 相似文献8.
Objective
To implement a simulation-based educational experience focused on medical emergencies in an ambulatory pharmacy setting.Design
Second-year student pharmacists were assigned randomly to groups and played the role of pharmacists in a community pharmacy setting in which a simulated patient experienced 1 of 5 emergency scenarios: medication-related allergic reaction, acute asthma attack, hypoglycemia, myocardial infarction, and stroke. The students were expected to use patient assessment techniques to determine which emergency the simulated patient was experiencing and the appropriate intervention. Following each simulation, a debriefing session was conducted.Assessment
Eighty-two student pharmacists completed the simulation activity. Ninety-three percent of student groups correctly identified the emergency. A post-activity survey instrument was administered, and 83% of responders indicated this activity was effective or very effective.Conclusion
Simulation of emergencies seen in an ambulatory pharmacy setting allowed students to assert knowledge, practice communication skills, apply assessment techniques, and work as a team in a low-risk environment. 相似文献9.

Background
Prescribing errors phenomena are very common within health care practice. These errors could result in adverse events and harm to patients. Pharmacist has an identified role in minimizing and preventing such errors.Objectives
To detect the incidence of prescribing errors for hospitalized patient, to evaluate the clinical impact of pharmacist intervention on the detection of these errors, and to propose a program to overcome this problem in a teaching hospital.Methods
For one month period starting November until December 2009, the inpatient medication charts and orders were identified and rectified by ward and practicing pharmacists within inpatient pharmacy services in a teaching hospital at King Khalid University Hospital (KKUH) at King Saud University, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on routine daily activities. Data were collected and evaluated. The causes of this problem were identified.Results
Approximately 113 (7.1%) prescribing errors were detected during the study period out of 1580 medication orders. Wrong strength and wrong administration frequency of the prescribed drug were the most errors encountered in the study, which were 35%, and 23%, respectively. Other errors such as wrong patient, wrong drug, and wrong dose were also encountered. Lack of knowledge of prescribing skill was the main cause of such errors.Conclusion
Prescribing errors in teaching hospital within inpatient pharmacy services were noticed. The applied method in this project might be implemented as part of pharmacy quality assurance program for ongoing detection and monitoring of such errors. Technology in prescribing process will support the practitioner to reduce the incidence of these errors. Forcing ongoing professional communication and education within the medical team about prescribing errors now appear warranted. 相似文献10.
Objective
To evaluate the impact of a mental health elective on pharmacy students'' perceptions and stigmatizing views of mental illness.Design
An elective was designed that featured an advanced overview of psychopharmacology; student training in motivational interviewing; a presentation by the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) local chapter; introduction to pharmacy collaborations with peer support specialists, social workers, and psychiatrists; mock patient counseling sessions; and a required psychiatric patient interview at a local community mental health center.Assessment
A survey instrument with 17 Likert-scale items was constructed to measure 2 distinct areas: social distance and stigmatizing views. The survey instrument was administered at the beginning and end of the spring 2010 semester to pharmacy students enrolled in the mental health elective course and to a control group of pharmacy students enrolled in an unrelated clinical elective. The course had a positive impact on pharmacy students'' perceptions of mental illnesses. Students'' social distance and stigmatizing views of mental illnesses improved, while no significant change in views occurred among students in the control group.Conclusion
Advanced training in psychiatric medicine and exposure to mental health care are vital to prepare pharmacy students to provide unbiased, patient-centered care to this population. 相似文献11.
Objectives
To assess pharmacy students'' attitudes toward death and end-of-life care.Methods
Third-year pharmacy students enrolled in the Ethics in Christianity and Health Care course were administered a survey instrument prior to introduction of the topic of end-of-life care. Students'' attitudes toward different professions'' roles in end-of-life care and their comfort in discussing end-of-life issues were assessed. The survey instrument was readministered to the same students at the end of their fourth year.Results
On most survey items, female students responded more favorably toward death and end-of-life care than male students. One exception was the perceived emotional ability to be in the room of a dying patient or loved one. Post-experiential survey responses were generally more favorable toward death and end-of-life care than were pre-discussion responses.Conclusions
In general, when surveyed concerning death and end-of-life care, female students responded more favorably than male students, and responses at the end of the fourth year were more favorable than at the beginning of the course. 相似文献12.

Purpose:
To measure the effects associated with sequential implementation of electronic medication storage and inventory systems and product verification devices on pharmacy technical accuracy and rates of potential medication dispensing errors in an academic medical center.Methods:
During four 28-day periods of observation, pharmacists recorded all technical errors identified at the final visual check of pharmaceuticals prior to dispensing. Technical filling errors involving deviations from order-specific selection of product, dosage form, strength, or quantity were documented when dispensing medications using (a) a conventional unit dose (UD) drug distribution system, (b) an electronic storage and inventory system utilizing automated dispensing cabinets (ADCs) within the pharmacy, (c) ADCs combined with barcode (BC) verification, and (d) ADCs and BC verification utilized with changes in product labeling and individualized personnel training in systems application.Results:
Using a conventional UD system, the overall incidence of technical error was 0.157% (24/15,271). Following implementation of ADCs, the comparative overall incidence of technical error was 0.135% (10/7,379; P = .841). Following implementation of BC scanning, the comparative overall incidence of technical error was 0.137% (27/19,708; P = .729). Subsequent changes in product labeling and intensified staff training in the use of BC systems was associated with a decrease in the rate of technical error to 0.050% (13/26,200; P = .002).Conclusions:
Pharmacy ADCs and BC systems provide complementary effects that improve technical accuracy and reduce the incidence of potential medication dispensing errors if this technology is used with comprehensive personnel training. 相似文献13.
Objective
To determine the impact of the Patient Empathy Modeling pedagogy on students'' empathy towards caring for the underserved during an advanced pharmacy practice experience (APPE).Design
Pharmacy students completing an APPE at 2 primary care clinics participated in a Patient Empathy Modeling assignment for 10 days. Each student “became the patient,” simulating the life of an actual patient with multiple chronic diseases who was coping with an economic, cultural, or communication barrier to optimal healthcare. Students completed the Jefferson Scale of Physician Empathy (JSPE) before and after completing the assignment, and wrote daily journal entries and a reflection paper.Assessment
Twenty-six students completed the PEM exercises from 2005-2006. Scores on the JSPE improved. Students'' comments in journals and reflection papers revealed 3 major themes: greater appreciation of the difficulty patients have with adherence to medication and treatment regimens, increased empathy for patients from different backgrounds and patients with medical and psychosocial challenges, and improved ability to apply the lessons learned in the course to their patient care roles.Conclusion
A Patient Empathy Modeling assignment improved pharmacy students'' empathy toward underserved populations. Integrating the assignment within an APPE allowed students to immediately begin applying the knowledge and insight gained from the exercise. 相似文献14.
Objective

Objective
To develop an assessment that would (1) help doctor of pharmacy (PharmD) students review therapeutic decision making and build confidence in their skills, (2) provide pharmacy practice residents with the opportunity to lead small group discussions, and (3) provide the assessment committee with program-level assessment data.Design
A case-based interactive assessment was developed and delivered to PharmD students immediately prior to advanced pharmacy practice experiences (APPEs). The assessment used an audience response system to allow immediate feedback followed by small group discussions led by pharmacy-practice residents. Students self-assessed their knowledge and confidence levels and developed personalized learning objectives for APPEs.Assessment
Eighty-nine percent of students found the assessment useful, and pharmacy practice residents reported that it was helpful in developing precepting skills. The college assessment committee was able to use the data to supplement the ongoing College curricular mapping process.Conclusions
An interactive assessment process can help students build confidence for experiential training, provide a learning opportunity for pharmacy residents, and produce program-level data for college assessment purposes. Planned modifications of the assessment include expanding the content areas covered and adding ability-based assessments such as communication skills. 相似文献16.

Objectives
To determine pharmacy students'' perceptions of a required research project in a doctor of pharmacy curriculum.Methods
A survey instrument was administered to senior pharmacy students to determine their perceptions of the project advisor and overall project experience and their postgraduation employment plans.Results
Two-hundred twenty-nine (81.5%) students completed a survey instrument. The majority agreed or strongly agreed that the project provided a valuable learning experience (88.2%), provided a competitive advantage for postgraduate job opportunities (73.2%), and should be a continued graduation requirement (74.2%). Respondents with plans for a residency or fellowship were more likely than those entering a community or hospital/institutional pharmacy to agree that completion of the project made them more qualified or marketable and should be continued as a graduation requirement (p < 0.05).Conclusions
A required research project was perceived by pharmacy students to be a beneficial experience. Students pursuing residency or fellowship were more likely to feel the project was beneficial than students entering the workforce. 相似文献17.
Objective
To determine the training needs and interests of volunteer pharmacy preceptors.Methods
Volunteer preceptors (n=576) were surveyed on various aspects of precepting and their needs related to additional training.Results
Two hundred thirty-six preceptors (40.9%) responded. Preceptors were less confident about enforcing attendance policies, identifying and managing unmotivated or failing students, identifying dishonesty or plagiarism, and handling conflict. While only 29.5% of respondents agreed that having an APPE student decreased their overall workload, approximately half (48.1%) indicated that student pharmacists helped them complete their daily tasks and 67.8% agreed that APPE students extended patient care. Respondents who had received training were significantly more confident than preceptors who had not received training in their abilities to clarify expectations, evaluate a student''s knowledge, and foster skills related to critical thinking and problem solving.Conclusions
Training programs for pharmacy preceptors are effective; however, important areas in which additional training is needed or desired were identified among both new and experienced preceptors. 相似文献18.
