ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND

PURPOSE:

The objective of this project was to assess the impact of self-care scenario simulations on first year doctor of pharmacy student performance and self-perceived confidence in applying the Pharmacists' Patient Care Process (PPCP) during self-care encounters. EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITY AND SETTINGS Self-care scenarios were developed and used during low fidelity simulations in laboratory sessions in a skills-based course. Students met individually with faculty facilitators role-playing patients to apply the PPCP in four simulations. Facilitators graded student performance; a comparison was made between performance on the first and fourth simulation. Students completed a pre- and post-course survey regarding their self-perceived confidence in performance and knowledge in applying the PPCP in self-care encounters.

FINDINGS:

One hundred and eight (100%) of enrolled students voluntarily agreed to participate in this IRB-approved study. The median percentage of student scores on the fourth simulation, 90.7%, was higher compared to the median percentage of student scores on the first simulation, 82.4%, P < 0.001 with a raw difference of 8.3 percentage points, for participants with scores for both simulations, 106 (98%). For the self-perceived PPCP confidence survey, 100 (92.5%) participants completed both pre- and post-course surveys. Self-perceived confidence on 12 of the 15 survey items where students ranked their confidence in performance and knowledge in self-care encounters increased post- versus pre-course.

SUMMARY:

Simulations served as a useful tool in improving student performance in applying the PPCP in self-care encounters in a first year doctor of pharmacy course. Student self-perceived confidence in performance and knowledge in self-care encounters also increased.
