Abstract

Objective

Choose Your Own Adventure (CYOA) educational activities can be utilized in the classroom to simulate patient cases. The objective of this study was to evaluate changes in pharmacy student knowledge and confidence in hypertension, heart failure, and insulin management skills after completion of CYOA activities.

Methods

Three CYOA activities were developed for 3 separate lectures in 2 pharmacy electives on topics of hypertension, heart failure, and insulin management. Two different online platforms were used for the activities. Before and after each activity, instructor-created surveys were administered to students to assess knowledge, confidence, and satisfaction.

Results

Overall, 110 potential respondents completed at least 1 of the 3 activities between 2021 and 2023. Average knowledge and confidence improved for each disease-state individually and when combined as a whole. Satisfaction was high (>4.5/5) for all activities and no differences were seen between activity platforms.

Conclusion

The CYOA activities can be successfully implemented in Doctor of Pharmacy elective classrooms using a digital platform for a variety of disease states and skills. Knowledge and confidence were improved in each individual topic and overall. Students enjoyed this activity regardless of the platform. Validated surveys and follow-up assessments would be beneficial in the future to determine if knowledge gains are sustainable.

选择你自己的冒险，以提高高血压，心力衰竭和胰岛素管理技能。

目的：选择你自己的冒险（CYOA）教育活动可以在课堂上模拟病人的情况。本研究的目的是评估完成CYOA活动后药学学生对高血压、心力衰竭和胰岛素管理技能的知识和信心的变化。方法：在两门药学选修课中，针对高血压、心力衰竭和胰岛素管理的主题，开展了三个独立的CYOA活动。这些活动使用了两个不同的在线平台。在每次活动之前和之后，教师对学生进行调查，以评估他们的知识、信心和满意度。结果：在2021年至2023年期间，110名潜在受访者至少完成了三项活动中的一项。对每一种疾病单独或综合的平均知识和信心都有所提高。所有活动的满意度都很高（>4.5/5），不同活动平台之间没有差异。结论：使用多种疾病状态和技能的数字平台，可以成功地在药学博士选修教室中实施CYOA活动。知识和信心在每个单独的主题和整体上都有所提高。不管在哪个平台，同学们都很喜欢这个活动。经过验证的调查和后续评估将有助于未来确定知识收益是否可持续。
