Background And Purpose:
Students visiting local pharmacies can enhance their learning about nonprescription products while improving their understanding of the patient self-care experience. This study was designed to examine student perceptions of an activity utilizing Flipgrid to share a simulated patient experience in the nonprescription aisle.
Educational Activity And Setting:
Student groups traveled to local pharmacies to review available products pertaining to a self-care scenario. Students submitted brief video recordings with product recommendations and counseling points via the Flipgrid platform. Following the activity, students submitted brief reflections. At course conclusion, students completed a questionnaire regarding perceptions of Flipgrid.
Findings:
Sixty-eight students completed the activity. Response rates were 91.2% for the project reflection and 79.4% for the Flipgrid questionnaire. In the reflections (n = 62), the majority of students (87.1%) found it easy or extremely easy to locate pertinent nonprescription products; no student found it extremely difficult. All except four students indicated the assignment helped develop empathy, and all except two indicated a greater likelihood to help a patient in the aisle. In the Flipgrid questionnaire (n = 54), most students found the platform enjoyable (74.1%) and easy to use (79.6%).
Summary:
Students perceived that the project increased empathy for assisting patients with selection of nonprescription products. Students found the Flipgrid platform enjoyable and easy to use. This activity can be utilized to simulate a patient self-care experience, and the Flipgrid platform is a novel way to share information between student groups in pharmacy education.
