Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To develop the quality evaluation standard indicator system for hospital cough and wheeze pharmaceutical care clinic (CWPC) pharmacist training within the layered learning practice model (LLPM), and apply it in clinical practice. METHODS Our teaching team established an LLPM model to train cough and wheeze pharmacists, according to the actual conditions of our college. Using qualitative interview methods, expert questionnaires were compiled with literature research; the expert correspondence methods were employed to conduct two rounds of consultation with 10 domestic respiratory medicine experts, thus constructing an evaluation index system for the teaching quality of cough and wheeze pharmacists. The experts’ positive coefficient, authority coefficient, Kendall’s harmony coefficient, and the degree of concentration of opinions were calculated. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was used to determine the weight of each indicator within the index system. From June 2023 to June 2024, the teaching team enrolled 21 pharmacists in the training program. The teaching team assessed and scored the trial group (LLPM) and control group (traditional teaching model) based on the benefit indicators for pharmacists and patients in the evaluation index system, and compared the results. RESULTS This study explored the establishment of a training system for cough and wheeze pharmacists under the LLPM model, and initially established an evaluation index system using the Delphi method. In two rounds of Delphi method questionnaires, the recovery rate was 100%, with an authority coefficient exceeding 0.8, Kendall’s harmony coefficient ranging from 0.235 to 0.459, and all P-values being less than 0.05. Four primary (comprising trainee feedback, learning gains, behavioral improvements, and training performance), 12 secondary and 33 tertiary indicators were finalized. In the empirical evaluation, the results of the two groups showed a significant benefit to the pharmacists in the trial group. Specifically, the percentage of patients receiving corticosteroids for COPD or wheeze service patients per month (80.5%), an average increase in the number of cough and wheeze team service outpatient visits per month (compared to the same period of the previous year) of 14.8 visits per month, and the patient satisfaction score (4.9) were all significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The application of the LLPM in competency training for pharmacists specializing in cough and wheeze care yields multiple benefits and holds significant guiding value. The constructed training quality evaluation index system under this model is scientific and reliable.
