Summary
This pilot study integrated medication management reviews into interprofessional education (IPE) for aged care students. The program fostered positive student attitudes toward interprofessional collaboration and practice.
Area of Science:
- Gerontology
- Pharmacy Education
- Interprofessional Healthcare
Background:
- Limited literature exists on integrating medication management reviews into interprofessional education (IPE) programs within aged care settings.
- Aged care facilities present a unique environment for practical, interprofessional student training.
Purpose of the Study:
- To establish and evaluate an interprofessional disease state and medication management review (DSMMR) program for students in a residential aged care facility.
- To assess student attitudes towards interprofessional education and practice following participation in the DSMMR program.
Main Methods:
- A pilot interprofessional DSMMR program was implemented in a Perth, Western Australia residential aged care facility.
- Nursing, pharmacy, and physiotherapy students participated, focusing on cognition, falls, and continence, alongside medication reviews.
- Student attitudes were measured using pre- and post-placement questionnaires.
Main Results:
- Students reported a positive experience with the interprofessional DSMMR program.
- Participation led to a positive attitudinal shift among students regarding IPE and aged care practice.
- The program successfully integrated medication management reviews into student training.
Conclusions:
- Aged care settings are suitable for interprofessional student programs focused on disease state and medication management reviews (DSMMR).
- IPE programs incorporating DSMMR can positively influence student attitudes and preparedness for aged care practice.

A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.

The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.

Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...

Pharmacodynamic (PD) responses describe the interaction between a drug and its biological target, culminating in a physiological effect. These responses can be classified into different types: continuous variables, such as blood glucose levels; categorical outcomes, like survival rates; and time-to-event metrics, such as disease progression. Understanding and modeling PD responses are critical for optimizing drug efficacy and safety.PD models describe the relationship between drug concentration...

PK–PD modeling has significantly influenced FDA regulatory decisions, particularly drug approval, dosage optimization, and labeling. These models integrate pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) to predict drug behavior and effects, aiding in optimizing dosing regimens and enhancing the probability of clinical trial success.One notable example is Nesiritide (Natrecor®), a recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide for treating acute decompensated congestive heart failure...
