Summary
Pharmacy students face challenges in professional identity formation (PIF). Educators need to integrate PIF support throughout the curriculum, involving stakeholders for a smoother transition into pharmacy practice.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacy Education
- Professional Identity Formation
- Health Professions Education
Background:
- Transitioning from pharmacy student to pharmacist involves reconciling aspirations with practice realities.
- Challenges in professional identity formation (PIF) can hinder students' transition and professional growth.
- Pharmacy educators face the challenge of effectively supporting PIF in students.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a scoping review to identify factors influencing pharmacy students' PIF.
- To identify pedagogical strategies that support PIF in pharmacy students.
Main Methods:
- A comprehensive scoping review was conducted in September 2018.
- Searched eight databases for qualitative, quantitative, theoretical, and gray literature published between January 2008 and September 2018.
- Included articles were charted and thematically analyzed.
Main Results:
- Twenty-two articles were included in the review.
- Studies highlighted the importance of addressing PIF throughout the pharmacy curriculum.
- Pharmacy students experience challenges in identity formation, and current interventions are often isolated and lack stakeholder engagement.
Conclusions:
- Further empirical research is needed to support pharmacy students' PIF.
- An integrated curricular approach and pedagogical practices focused on identity development are essential.
- Engaging stakeholders like preceptors, other health professionals, and patients is crucial for effective PIF support.

Nurses are responsible for caring for patients during birth, death, illness, and healing. Professional values guide the decisions and actions that nurses make in their careers. If nurses know the decisions and actions to take, providing patients with exceptional care is possible.

Physics is concerned with the interactions of energy, matter, space, and time, in order to discover the underlying mechanisms that underpin all phenomena. The word "physics" comes from the Greek word "phúsis", which means nature. Physics seeks to comprehend the natural world around us at its most fundamental level. It emphasizes the use of quantitative laws to do this, which could be valuable in other fields that want to push the performance boundaries of present...

Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

In statistics, several tools are used to interpret the data. Measures of central tendency represent the characteristics of the data, such as mean, median, and mode. Additionally, measures of variance like standard deviation and range are used to find the spread of data from the mean. Relative standing measures the distance between data locations. Commonly used measures of relative standings are percentile, z score, and quartiles.

Data are individual items of information obtained from a population or sample. Data may be classified as qualitative (categorical), quantitative continuous, or quantitative discrete. Because it is not practical to measure the entire population in a study, researchers use samples to represent the population. A random sample is a representative group from the population chosen by using a method that gives each individual in the population an equal chance of being included in the sample. Random...
