Abstract: (90 Views) |
Aims: In the current undergraduate midwifery curriculum, students in the pharmacology course have only learn theoretical aspects, and there is no possibility of objective observation at the bedside in the field of druge use. Therefore, there is a gap between the application of theoretical content and the functional standards of the medicine at the bedside. Considering the importance of the topic and the existing educational gap, the present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of clinical pharmacology internship on the prescription skills of midwifery students of North Khorasan University of Medical Sciences.
Materials & Methods: This semi-experimental study was conducted on all undergraduate midwifery students of North Khorasan University of Medical Sciences in the academic year 2021-2022. Twenty two eligible students were selected by available sampling method. Data collection tools were demographic and educational profile form, practical test (objective structured clinical) to measure prescription skills, needs assessment form and educational course satisfaction form.
Findings: The mean score of the practical test obtained by the students before and after the training was 8.50±4.44 and 14.62±1.92, respectively, which had a significant difference (p=0.001).
Conclusion: Clinical pharmacology internship course has a positive effect on midwifery students' prescription skills. |
