Professional Values01:29

Professional Values

9.6K
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.
The values that are the foundation of the nursing profession are altruism, autonomy, human dignity, and social justice.
First, altruism refers to the concern for the welfare and well-being of others without personal...

Analysis of Population Pharmacokinetic Data01:12

Analysis of Population Pharmacokinetic Data

657
Analysis of population pharmacokinetic data involves studying the behavior of drugs within diverse populations to understand their pharmacokinetic parameters. Traditional pharmacokinetic methods typically involve collecting samples from a few individuals and estimating these parameters. While these methods are commonly used, they have limitations in capturing the variability in drug response among individuals or heterogeneous populations. Population pharmacokinetics is employed to address these...

Dosage Regimens: Partial Pharmacokinetic Parameters

135
It is not uncommon for complete drug pharmacokinetic profiles to remain elusive in pharmacokinetics. This necessitates certain educated assumptions by pharmacokineticists to determine appropriate dosage regimens without comprehensive pharmacokinetic data from animal or human studies. One prevalent assumption is setting the bioavailability factor, denoted as F, to 1 or 100%. This assumption caters to the scenario where a drug doesn't achieve full systemic absorption, resulting in the patient...

Role-Based Identity01:21

Role-Based Identity

164
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...

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age

180
Age-related pharmacokinetic changes are extensively documented, but understanding age-related pharmacodynamic alterations is relatively limited. This knowledge gap can be partly attributed to the complexity of developing appropriate measures of drug responses compared to bioanalytical methods for determining drug concentrations.Most information regarding age-related differences in human pharmacodynamics originates from cross-sectional studies. However, these studies assume that observed mean...

Social Identity01:29

Social Identity

221
Social identity constitutes a significant aspect of an individual’s self-concept, shaped by membership in various social groups, including gender, nationality, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and political affiliation. Individuals associate specific traits with particular social groups, leading to internalization of these traits. For example, musicians are often perceived as creative, while women are frequently associated with nurturing tendencies. Once individuals identify with a...

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Education
  • Professional Identity Development
  • Student Pharmacist Training

Background:

  • Exploring student pharmacists' professional identity (PI) is crucial for retention and engagement.
  • An elective course focusing on career opportunities offers a unique setting to study PI development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of an elective career opportunities course on second-year student pharmacists' identification with the pharmacy profession.
  • To assess changes in professional identity constructs and overall professional identification.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized validated instruments: Professional Identity constructs and Macleod-Clark Professional Identity Scale (MCPIS-9).
  • Administered questionnaires at the beginning and end of the elective course across two semesters.
  • Analyzed and compared student perceptions of PI and professional identification from course start to end.

Main Results:

  • Student pharmacists identified with multiple professional identities, notably entrepreneur, business person, medicines adviser, and clinical practitioner.
  • A significant increase in overall MCPIS-9 scores (3.08 to 3.23) indicated enhanced professional identification.
  • Students reported greater positive feelings about professional connections and sense of belonging by the course's conclusion.

Conclusions:

  • An early elective course positively influences student pharmacists' personal and professional development, strengthening their identification with the pharmacy profession.
  • Students' predominant PI choices were linked to their existing familiarity with pharmacists' roles.
  • Targeted professional development early in pharmacy education can foster stronger professional identity.
