摘要

目的：探讨在药学实习过程中，实习生在指定阶段的委托程度和相应的监督程度。方法：邀请澳大利亚注册和临时注册（实习）药师参与匿名在线问卷调查。参与者阐述了他们期望实习药剂师在澳大利亚药房委员会基于工作场所的评估工具中使用五级委托量表实现的三个EPAs的监督水平。这三个epa负责配药、配制药品和提供用药咨询。结果：共收到302份反馈，其中实习药师82份，注册药师220份。实习药师在调剂配药epa实习培训中点及结束时对实习生委托的自我感知水平高于注册药师对实习生委托的预期水平。社区药房和医院药房的药师在实习配药和咨询实习药师培训结束时，期望实习药师比医院临床药师有更大的执业自主权。所有药师对实习药师在培训的不同时间点期望的委托水平达成了中等程度的共识（在任何一个委托水平上的总体共识为50 - 74.9%）。结论：注册药师对实习药师在培训规定时间点的监管水平缺乏共识。注册药师对实习药师的委托决定可能因执业环境而异。实习药师对其绩效的自我感知委托高于注册药师，这表明需要进一步研究主管和实习生对监管要求的认知存在差距。

Entrusting Pharmacy Trainees: Exploring Expectations of Entrustment Across the Pharmacy Intern Year in Australia

Objective

To explore the expected level of entrustment and the corresponding degree of supervision for trainees at designated milestones during their pharmacy internship.

Methods

Registered and provisionally registered (intern) pharmacists in Australia were invited to participate in an anonymous online questionnaire. Participants articulated the level of supervision they expect an intern pharmacist to achieve for the three Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) included in the Australian Pharmacy Council workplace-based assessment tools using the 5-level entrustment scale. These three EPAs are dispensing medicines, compounding pharmaceutical products, and providing medication counseling.

Results

A total of 302 responses were received (82 intern pharmacists and 220 registered pharmacists). Intern pharmacists’ self-perceived level of entrustment was higher than the level expected by registered pharmacists at the midpoint and conclusion of intern training for the dispensing and compounding EPAs. Pharmacists in community pharmacy and hospital dispensary settings expected intern pharmacists to practice with more autonomy compared to hospital clinical pharmacists at the conclusion of intern training for the compounding and counseling EPAs. A medium level of consensus (50%–74.9% overall agreement at any one entrustment level) was reached by all pharmacists regarding the expected level of entrustment of intern pharmacists at different time points in training for all three EPAs.

Conclusion

There is a lack of consensus among registered pharmacists regarding the level of supervision expected of intern pharmacists at defined time points in training. Entrustment decisions by registered pharmacists may vary depending on the practice setting. Intern pharmacists’ self-perceived entrustment of their performance was higher than that of registered pharmacists, highlighting the need for further research to explore the existing gap between supervisor and trainee perceptions of supervision requirements.
