薬学教育 6 年制の早期体験学習に関する学生へのアンケート調査とその解析

抄録

A questionnaire was given to students before and after the‘Early Exposure’programme,which was introduced in the first year of the 6-year pharmaceutical education course at the Faculties of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Kobe Gakuin University and Mukogawa Women’s University,and Kobe Pharmaceutical University in Hyogo Prefecture.The objective of the questionnaire was to evaluate the success of the programme and a total of 847 students completed it.
The major facilities participating in the programme were hospital and community pharmacies.The major method of study was observation of the work of pharmacy facilities and it was used for more than 90% of the students.About 30% studied through lectures and 25% through actual work experience.Though almost half of the students learned about dispensing medication,fewer learned about medication history management and medication management.
We asked students to evaluate their educational experience using scores from 4 (good) to 1 (poor) and 2 major questions asked were whether the work of pharmacists was patient-oriented and whether they had good communication with other staff and patients.The students who observed the work of hospital or community pharmacies gave higher scores than those who did not and those who had actually experienced the work of pharmacies gave higher scores than those who had only observed their work or studied through lectures.The students were generally positive about the programme.
The Early Exposure programme seems to be appreciated by the participating students and we feel that maintaining close collaboration between community and hospital pharmacies and universities is important in achieving a high-quality educational syllabus for pharmacists.
