Abstract:
|
Intent: The purpose of this study is to determine if clinical elective courses, specifically the Pharmacist-Assisted Tobacco Cessation (PATC) elective, is able to positively affect a student pharmacist’s attitude and comfort level in providing patient care services compared to the required pharmacotherapy modules in the course sequence completed by all students. Students taking this elective are compared to a random sample of students taking the tobacco cessation required module in the Pharmacotherapy course sequence. A difference could demonstrate the benefit of exposing students to clinical elective courses.
Process: An anonymous and voluntary survey was developed after reviewing similar surveys published in the medical literature assessing patient care services. Students in the last two years of the pharmacy curriculum were asked to complete the survey. The survey was administered twice over two consecutive years to collect information to capture students’ attitudes before and after the course offering of the tobacco cessation elective.
Outcomes: Information collected includes demographic information and pharmacy work experience. Our endpoints will assess confidence in the knowledge of various disease states, comfort in providing patient care services, and confidence to use a therapeutic thought process. Analysis will be completed on these variables using the Pearson chi-square, Fisher’s exact test, and Multivariable analyses, while adjusting for confounders.
Implications: One potential application would be to incorporate additional clinical electives into the pharmacy curriculum as required coursework. Additional research is warranted in a larger group of students taking clinical electives and adjusting for other variables before curricular changes can be determined. |
