The Effects of Experience in Treating Headache Patients during Practical Training at Pharmacies on Students

Abstract

A questionnaire survey was conducted for pharmacy students to clarify the current situation of headache treatment in pharmacy practice and the effects of experience in practical practice on students. The subjects were pharmacy students (219) who completed the practical training. The recovery rate was 100% (219/219). In the practical training, 98 students were able to observe and/or treat headache patients, and 121 students were unable to experience either. Many students felt the need to treat headache patients in practical training. In particular, students who were able to observe and practice in practical training had strong feelings. Motivation of students can be increased by providing opportunities for students to practice what they learned before the practical training at the university.
