Exploration and Practice of the Integrated Teaching Method of Mind Mapping in the Standardized Training of New Pharmacists.

Abstract

Objective The objective is to analyze the application effect of mind map in the standardized training of new pharmacists, providing reference information for the standardized training and teaching methods of new pharmacists. Methods 24 new pharmacists in pharmacy were selected as experimental samples. The mind map integration teaching method was applied in the standardized training, which involved two parts of pharmaceutical professional knowledge theory and practical skills. The relevant theoretical knowledge of the new pharmacists was evaluated by the examination paper. Their clinical practice ability was evaluated by the expert group on-the-spot assessment score, and the final scores were calculated by two parts. Paired t-test was used to analyze the training effect of theoretical knowledge and clinical practice ability of participants before and after training. Results All pharmacists have passed the examination. The average score of theory test was (85.8 ± 5.2), the average score of skill examination was (83.1 ± 6.0), and the total score was (84.1 ± 5.0). Before and after training, the total scores of 9 core competencies of pharmacists before and after training have significant difference (18.87 ± 4.06 and 21.40 ± 2.68, P < 0.01). Conclusion The standardized training for new pharmacists through the mind map integration teaching method can effectively improve their core competence and post competence. This training method is worth using for reference and promotion.
