Abstract:
|
Objective: Utilize an asynchronous web-based discussion board to simulate pharmacist-patient and pharmacist-provider interactions during a problem-based learning patient-case assignment. Methods: Post BS pharmacy students in distance education therapeutics courses work in groups to complete patient-case assignments; a web-based classroom discussion follows on patient cases and therapeutic topics. A case was developed with limited information available to students to mimic patient presentation in community pharmacy. Students posted questions for the patient or physician on the web-based discussion board to gather additional information. A course instructor responded daily to postings with subjective information from the patient or objective information the physician would have in the patient chart. Students were evaluated on perception of assignment at the end of the course. Results: Twenty-three students were assigned to five groups; 7 students (30.4%) representing each group posted 13 messages containing 30 questions for the patient and 23 questions for the physician. Students received 12 responses from the course instructor representing communication from the patient and physician. Of the 20 students completing evaluation, 19 (95.0%) reported reading all or most of the posted messages. Thirteen (65.0%) students felt the activity provided a high-quality learning experience, while 15 (75.0%) felt it helped apply course content to real-life patient problems. Only 2 (10.0%) students opposed similar activities for future patient-case assignments. Implications: Results indicate students support using a web-based discussion board to gather patient data for a patient case. Similar activities will be implemented throughout the therapeutics curriculum to provide realistic elements to future patient-case assignments. |
