Abstract: (275 Views) |
Aims: In the current undergraduate midwifery curriculum, students in the pharmacology course have only learned theoretical aspects, and there is no possibility of objective observation at the bedside in the field of drug use. Therefore, there is a gap between applying theoretical content and the functional standards of medicine at the bedside. Considering the importance of the topic and the existing educational gap, the present study was conducted to investigate the effect of clinical pharmacology internships on the prescription skills of midwifery students of North Khorasan University of Medical Sciences.
Materials & Methods: This semi-experimental study was conducted on all North Khorasan University of Medical Sciences undergraduate midwifery students in 2021-2022. Twenty-two eligible students were selected by the available sampling method. Data collection tools were demographic and educational profile forms, practical tests (objective structured clinical) to measure prescription skills, needs assessment forms, and educational course satisfaction forms.
Findings: The students' mean score on the practical test ]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: The clinical pharmacology internship course positively affects midwifery students' prescription skills. |
