Abstract

Objective: To assess the impact of wearing a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device on student pharmacist counseling ability (primary), knowledge, confidence, and empathy (secondary).

Methods: Students from two institutions were randomized to wear a CGM device (intervention) vs not (control). All received CGM education via lecture and live demonstration. Intervention group students were provided a CGM device. After two weeks, all students completed a standardized patient (SP) encounter regarding CGM prescription counseling. Pre-post CGM-related knowledge, confidence, and empathy were assessed. Analysis of variance was used to compare between-group counseling score difference, and analysis of covariance was used to compare changes in pre-post knowledge, confidence, and empathy scores. Analyses were performed using Stata/BE17.0.

Results: Of 86 students enrolled, 63 consented and completed surveys (32 intervention, 31 control). The intervention group demonstrated higher average SP counseling score vs control (82.4 % vs 77.7 %, p = .046). The intervention group had greater change in confidence vs control from pre to post survey (+ 2.3 vs + 1.7, p = 0.03, range 1-5). No between-group differences were observed in knowledge or empathy.

Conclusion: The opportunity to wear a CGM device resulted in higher performance on CGM counseling and greater rise in CGM-related confidence. This study supports the use of resources to provide hands-on CGM training.

Practice implications: Hands-on education about new diabetes technology can help students prepare to care for and counsel patients.

学生药师在实际连续血糖监测教育后的咨询表现：一项多机构实用随机研究。

目的：评估佩戴连续血糖监测（CGM）设备对学生药师咨询能力（第一）、知识、信心和同理心（第二）的影响。方法：将两所院校的学生随机分为佩戴CGM装置（干预组）和不佩戴CGM装置（对照组）两组。通过讲座和现场演示，对所有学员进行了CGM教育。干预组学生提供CGM装置。两周后，所有学生都完成了关于CGM处方咨询的标准化患者（SP）会面。评估前后cgm相关知识、信心和同理心。采用方差分析比较组间辅导得分的差异，采用协方差分析比较前后知识、信心和共情得分的变化。采用Stata/BE17.0进行分析。结果：入选的86名学生中，63人同意并完成了调查（干预组32人，对照组31人）。干预组SP辅导平均得分高于对照组（82.4% vs 77.7%, p = 0.046）。干预组与对照组相比，调查前后的信心变化更大（+ 2.3 vs + 1.7, p = 0.03，范围1-5）。在知识和同理心方面，组间没有差异。结论：佩戴CGM装置的机会提高了CGM咨询的表现，并大大提高了CGM相关的信心。本研究支持利用资源提供实际操作的CGM培训。实践意义：关于新的糖尿病技术的实践教育可以帮助学生为照顾和咨询患者做好准备。

期刊介绍： Patient Education and Counseling is an interdisciplinary, international journal for patient education and health promotion researchers, managers and clinicians. The journal seeks to explore and elucidate the educational, counseling and communication models in health care. Its aim is to provide a forum for fundamental as well as applied research, and to promote the study of organizational issues involved with the delivery of patient education, counseling, health promotion services and training models in improving communication between providers and patients.
