BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To assess knowledge, perceptions, and confidence of second-year pharmacy students regarding implementation of an innovative inhaler and tobacco cessation simulation.
EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITY AND SETTING: A simulation was created that required students to counsel a standardized patient concomitantly on an inhaler prescription and tobacco cessation. To assess the primary outcome of student perceptions and confidence, a survey was administered pre- and post-simulation. Survey results were compared using chi-square analysis. To assess the secondary outcome of knowledge-based improvement, students were assessed on tobacco cessation content utilizing six consistent examination questions; students also completed a tobacco cessation objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) case, with comparison to the previous student cohort.
FINDINGS: Fifty-seven students (93%) completed the pre-survey, and 49 students (80%) completed the post-survey. Improvements in confidence concerning use of motivational interviewing and ability to establish a quit date via motivational interviewing were found. Examination score comparisons revealed improvements in two of the six questions but were not statistically significant. Tobacco cessation OSCE data indicated an improvement in overall student score (72%) compared to the control group (69%). A larger proportion of students achieved the tobacco cessation case cut score (97% vs. 87%). Lastly, intervention vs. control group averages improved in gathering patient information (57% vs. 45%) and developing management strategies (71% vs. 65%).
SUMMARY: This integrated simulation was an effective learning tool that reinforced tobacco cessation concepts and increased confidence and knowledge. Simulations that require students to integrate knowledge and skills are valuable additions to pharmacy curricula.
