Abstract

Objective

The objective of this study was to examine the relationships between solution-focused thinking, self-efficacy, and psychological resilience in pharmacy students and to investigate the mediating role of self-efficacy in the relationship between solution-focused thinking and psychological resilience.

Methods

To achieve the objective of this study, a cross-sectional, descriptive, correlational study was conducted.

Results

A total of 884 pharmacy students participated in the study. A total of 877 student’s questionnaires were found to be valid for analysis. This study, which, to the best of our knowledge, is the first to examine the relationship between psychological resilience, solution-focused thinking, and self-efficacy levels in pharmacy students, found that students demonstrated above-average levels of psychological resilience, solution-focused thinking, and self-efficacy. Based on the research, it was determined that self-efficacy played a mediating role in the connection between solution-focused thinking and psychological resilience among pharmacy students.

Conclusion

Strategies that promote psychological resilience and self-efficacy, such as solution-focused approaches to learning, self-reflection, positive refraction, and skills practice, need to be integrated at all stages of the school curriculum and their efficacy assessed. Furthermore, teachers can use solution-focused approaches to develop the students’ skills and competencies in coping with challenges. To meet the increasingly complex demands of health care systems, pharmacy students need to acquire high levels of competence and self-efficacy, and the pharmacy curriculum should be designed to aid them in achieving this.

自我效能感在土耳其药剂学专业学生的专注于解决问题的思维能力和心理复原力之间的中介作用。

研究目的本研究旨在探讨药学专业学生的焦点解决思维、自我效能感和心理复原力之间的关系，并研究自我效能感在焦点解决思维和心理复原力之间关系中的中介作用：为了实现本研究的目标，我们进行了一项横断面、描述性、相关性研究：共有 884 名药学专业学生参与了研究。结果：共有 884 名药剂学专业学生参与了研究，其中 877 名学生的问卷分析结果有效。这项研究首次考察了药学专业学生的心理复原力、注重解决问题的思维方式和自我效能感水平之间的关系，发现学生的心理复原力、注重解决问题的思维方式和自我效能感水平高于平均水平。根据研究结果，确定自我效能感在药剂学专业学生的专注于解决问题的思维和心理复原力之间起着中介作用：结论：促进心理复原力和自我效能感的策略，如以解决问题为中心的学习方法、自我反思、积极折射和技能练习，需要融入学校课程的各个阶段，并对其效果进行评估。此外，教师还可以利用注重解决问题的方法来培养学生应对挑战的技能和能力。为了满足医疗保健系统日益复杂的需求，药剂学学生需要获得高水平的能力和自我效能感，药剂学课程的设计应帮助他们实现这一目标。
