Modeling in Therapy01:26

Modeling in Therapy

Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.

Drug Administration and Therapy Phases: Overview01:26

Drug Administration and Therapy Phases: Overview

Drugs, the chemical agents used in diagnosing, treating, or preventing diseases, undergo a four-phase process of development: pharmaceutic, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and therapeutic.
The pharmaceutical phase focuses on leveraging the physicochemical properties of the drug to design and manufacture an effective product. Variants include orally administered tablets or capsules, topical creams or ointments, and parenteral-delivery solutions or emulsions.
The pharmacokinetic phase...
Role-Based Identity01:21

Role-Based Identity

Role-based identities are central to understanding how individuals navigate social environments by adopting distinct self-conceptions aligned with various societal roles. These identities are not fixed traits but are constructed through personal actions and the social feedback individuals receive in context-specific interactions. Each social role, such as student, teacher, or friend, carries a set of expectations and norms that influence how people think, feel, and behave within that...

Role of Communication in the Nursing Process II: Planning and Implementation

Several factors are considered while creating a patient's care plan. Motivation is a factor in improving communication, and patients often require encouragement to try different approaches involving significant change. It is essential to involve the patient and family in decisions about the plan of care to determine whether the suggested methods are acceptable. Consider meeting critical comfort and safety needs before introducing new communication methods and techniques. Allow adequate time for...
Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios01:26

Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios

Pharmaceutical poisoning can occur through various channels, impacting an estimated 2 million hospitalized patients in the U.S. annually with serious adverse drug responses. These scenarios encompass both therapeutic uses, such as drug toxicity, where even standard dosages can lead to severe central nervous system depression, and non-therapeutic exposures, including accidental ingestion by children, and environmental and occupational exposures.Unintentional poisonings often involve exploratory...
Biopharmaceutics and Pharmacokinetics: Overview01:28

Biopharmaceutics and Pharmacokinetics: Overview

Understanding drugs, drug products, and their performance in pharmaceutical science is pivotal. Drugs, whether simple molecules or complex compounds, are designed to interact with the body's biological systems to diagnose, treat, or prevent diseases. Drug products include various delivery systems such as tablets, capsules, injections, and inhalers. The performance of these drug products is gauged by their ability to deliver the active ingredient to the desired site of action at the appropriate...

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Education
  • Clinical Skills Development

Background:

  • Undergraduate pharmacy curricula increasingly emphasize practical patient-care skills.
  • Developing effective pedagogical methods is crucial for skill acquisition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the utility of a role-play model for enhancing patient-care skills in first-year pharmacy students.
  • To assess the impact of role-playing on specific skills like communication, information gathering, counselling, and documentation.

Main Methods:

  • A role-play model was implemented in workshops over two semesters.
  • Students assumed roles of pharmacists and patients, documenting interactions.
  • Student perceptions and assessment data were collected and analyzed.

Main Results:

  • A majority of students perceived role-playing as beneficial for skill development.
  • Role-playing significantly improved skills in verbal communication, information gathering, and making recommendations.
  • The effectiveness of role-playing was less pronounced for accurate documentation of case notes.

Conclusions:

  • Role-playing is a valuable tool for developing essential patient-care communication and information-gathering skills in pharmacy students.
  • Further refinement of role-playing methods may be needed to improve documentation skills.
