Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We created a new simulated patient (SP) participatory learning program using the Database of Individual Patient Experience-Japan, and verified its effectiveness and influence. Using the scenario (breast and prostatic cancer), the communication improvement program comprised the following three parts: an SP session, small group discussion session, and a total discussion session with a DVD video and transcript. The effectiveness of the new program was evaluated using a checklist of consciousness and actions regarding pharmacist-patient communication. One hundred fourteen pharmacists participated in the program. Comparison of the responses before and one month after the study showed significantly improvement in both awareness and behavior. Our new SP participatory learning program focusing on the patient’s background, thoughts, and feelings was able to improve awareness and behavior among pharmacists. Our program is expected to contribute to better pharmacist-patient communication.
