Development of a Structured Communication and Counseling Skills Course for Pharmacy Students: A Simulation-based Approach

Öz:
Objectives: We aimed to develop a structured communication and counseling education program to improve pharmacy students’ skills. Then, we objectively assessed this program by using simulated patients. The program aims to improve pharmacy students’ communication and counseling skills by using a patient-centered approach. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in three stages. First, a “Pharmacist-Patient Communication and Counseling Skills” education program was developed. Second, this program was implemented for pharmacy students. Third, the program was tested on volunteer students and evaluated for its effectiveness. Results: The education program had a very large effect (Cohen’s dz: 6.074) on improving students’ communication and counseling skills, especially their empathy skills. Conclusion: The education program achieved its goals. After demonstrating the program’s success, a course was added to the pharmacy curriculum, and a communication skills laboratory was established in the school.

Eczacılık Fakültesi Öğrencilerine Yönelik İletişim ve Danışmanlık Becerileri Eğitim Programı Geliştirme Çalışması: Simülasyona Dayalı Bir Yaklaşım

Öz:
Amaç: Bu çalışma ile eczacılık öğrencilerinin iletişim ve danışmanlık becerilerini geliştirmeye yönelik yapılandırılmış bir eğitim programı geliştirmeyi amaçladık. Sonrasında programı objektif olarak standart hastalar kullanılarak değerlendirdik. Program, eczacılık öğrencilerinin iletişim ve danışmanlık becerilerini hasta odaklı bir yaklaşımı kullanarak geliştirmeyi hedeflemektedir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışma üç aşamada yürütülmüştür. İlk önce “Eczacı-Hasta İletişim ve Danışmanlık Becerileri” eğitim programı geliştirilmiştir. İkinci aşamada, bu eğitim programı gönüllü eczacılık öğrencileri için uyarlanmıştır. Üçüncü aşamada, program gönüllü öğrenciler üzerinde denenmiş ve etkinliği değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Eğitim programının, öğrencilerin iletişim ve danışmanlık becerilerini, özellikle empati becerilerini geliştirmede çok büyük bir etkisi (Cohen dz: 6,074) olduğu görülmüştür. Sonuç: Eğitim programı hedeflerine ulaşmıştır. Programının başarısı kanıtlandıktan sonra, eczacılık lisans programına bir ders olarak eklenmiş ve okulda iletişim becerileri laboratuvarı kurulmuştur.
