Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Japan's population is rapidly aging, and problems surrounding healthcare are piling up, such as increasing medical and nursing care costs and a shortage of physicians. As one of the solutions, pharmacists are required to participate in the field of disease prevention. However, there are few opportunities for pharmacy students and pharmacists to be actively involved in the field of disease prevention, and no educational methods have been established. It is one of the missions of the Faculty of Pharmacy to educate and produce highly qualified, leading pharmacists of the next generation who can respond to such changes in the healthcare situation.
The Nagasaki University School of Pharmacy, in cooperation with the University of New Mexico and the Nagasaki Pharmaceutical Association, has implemented a training program on atrial fibrillation for pharmacy students and pharmacy pharmacists to provide basic knowledge of arrhythmia and its treatment, and to improve clinical judgment skills in arrhythmia such as ECG interpretation and recommendation for consultation. The training will be conducted and its effectiveness will be verified.

Basic objectives -Others

Sharing clinical education methods for pharmacy students and pharmacists with the University of New Mexico School of Pharmacy, which supports the health of local residents, will enable the development of highly clinically competent pharmacists in Japan.
In 2019, Nagasaki University School of Pharmacy, in collaboration with the Nagasaki Pharmaceutical Association, implemented a student-led arrhythmia screening event that introduced the New Mexico model. The screening event used an Omron portable electrocardiograph to detect two subjects with abnormal pulse rates out of 40 subjects. The questionnaire survey suggested that subjects and pharmacy students found this arrhythmia screening event useful as a pharmacist education program. However, since this screening event only identified abnormalities based on the messages displayed on the portable electrocardiograph, there is a need for improvement if it is to be implemented as a highly qualified pharmacist training program in the future.

Developmental phase



Assessment

Primary outcomes

The Atrial Fibrillation Comprehension Test and Self-Assessment Questionnaire will be administered to the study subjects periodically before the training program and thereafter at pre-screening event timing, i.e., approximately every six months. Researchers will analyze changes in test results and self-assessments.
