引言：以前的研究表明，药剂师可以在改善病人护理过渡中发挥重要作用。然而，学生药剂师的培训程度，准备和信心的能力，提供过渡的护理（TOC）仍然不清楚。我们的目标是检查学生药剂师参与TOC的准备、准备和信心。研究方法：二年级学生药剂师在两所学校/学院的药房在美国被问及他们的培训，准备和信心提供TOC服务的问题。采用描述性统计分析数据。结果如下：总共有113名（59名西新英格兰大学[WNE]和54名怀俄明州大学[UWYO]）二年级药学专业的学生收到了调查请求，78名（50名WNE和28名UWYO）完成了调查，总体应答率为69%。参与者报告说，药房课程提供了准备提供TOC服务的最高水平（37%），其次是介绍性药房实践经验（31%）。大多数参与者报告在TOC期间收集患者用药史相关活动的置信度最高（46.1%），同样，这类活动显示出最高的参与者人群表示积极的准备程度（41.3%）。结论：适用的培训和TOC的经验增加了学生药剂师在未来的实践场所提供TOC的信心和准备的可能性。这些结果提供了一个框架，额外的定量研究在TOC参与学生药剂师。(c)2021爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
Introduction: Previous research has shown that pharmacists can have an essential role in improving patient care transitions. However, the extent of student pharmacists' training, readiness, and confidence in ability to provide transitions of care (TOC) remains unclear. Our goal was to examine student pharmacist preparation, readiness, and confidence for engaging in TOC. Methods: Second-year student pharmacists at two schools/colleges of pharmacy in the United States were asked questions about their training, readiness, and confidence for providing TOC services. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze data. Results: In all, 113 (59 Western New England University [WNE] and 54 University of Wyoming [UWYO]) second-year pharmacy students received the survey request and 78 (50 WNE and 28 UWYO) completed the survey, resulting in an overall response rate of 69%. Participants reported that pharmacy coursework provided the highest level of preparedness to offer TOC services (37%), followed by introductory pharmacy practice experiences (31%). Most participants reported having the highest level of confidence for activities related to gathering patient medication histories during TOC (46.1%), and similarly, this category of activity showed the highest population of participants who indicated a positive level of readiness (41.3%). Conclusions: Applicable training and experiences with TOC increase the likelihood of greater confidence and readiness for student pharmacists to provide TOC at their future practice sites. These results provide a framework for additional quantitative research in TOC engagement among student pharmacists. (c) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
