“…Problem-based learning methodologies [78] can assist students in developing skills in clinical reasoning, patient safety and clinical accountability, ensuring that shared decision making, documentation and reporting are implemented in practice. To excel in pharmacy practice, pharmacy students should have greater exposure to first-hand clinical practice [79]. Pharmacy students should be able to practise and work within multidisciplinary environments [80].…”

The role of the pharmacist in healthcare has evolved greatly over the last half-century, from dispensing to providing direct patient-oriented activities not associated with dispensing. However, pharmacist-led healthcare services in Sri Lanka must undergo reform to fully take advantage of their expertise and training in medicine management and related outcomes in Sri Lankan patients. As befits a profession’s role development and value, professional and educational standards for pharmacists need ongoing development and growth. Currently, university curricula and continuing professional education in Sri Lanka require further development and optimisation to provide the theoretical and practical knowledge and skills regarding quality use of medicines and patient-oriented care. Furthermore, pharmacists’ roles in Sri Lankan hospital and community pharmacist settings need to be recognised and should include the pharmacist as an integral part of the multidisciplinary healthcare team in Sri Lanka. Studies from developed countries and some developing countries have demonstrated that expanded pharmacists’ roles have had a significant positive cost-effective impact on the population’s health. Therefore, the availability of qualified Sri Lankan pharmacists trained to deliver expanded professional services accompanied by greater pharmacist integration into healthcare delivery is crucially important to ensure quality use of medicines within the Sri Lankan healthcare system and optimise the medication-related needs of Sri Lankans.

This paper provides the rationale for, examples of, and the collection and general uses of currently available, potentially underutilized academic program assessment data. Academic program assessment is essential for program improvement and accreditation, but commonly used assessment methods may not fully meet these needs. General assessment references, pharmacy education literature, and prior experiences were used to identify and discuss sources of potentially underutilized assessment data. Pre-course assessments, graded assignments, examinations, pharmacy experience evaluations, scoring rubrics, portfolios, progress testing, self-assessments, and classroom assessment techniques are potential sources of assessment data. Course evaluations and grades may also be useful. Selection should be based on need, availability, strength, and concerns. Challenges in data management may be best met through a centralized, integrated database. Careful selection of specific embedded and other assessments can be utilized to complete the development of a comprehensive, meaningful, and efficient program assessment plan.

“…11,14 Moreover, self-efficacy in PI care can fundamentally affect the performance and practice of nurses' PI care, 10 including nurses' confidence in their ability to assess, prevent, care for, and educate patients regarding PIs in hospitals and in the community. Self-efficacy has been found to mediate knowledge and action, 16 and nurses' implementation of nursing plans is positively affected by their perceived self-efficacy. 17 Many countries have developed guidelines for PI prevention and treatment.…”

ObjectiveTo assess nurses’ perceived competence in pressure injury (PI) care and explore the association between perceived competence and nurses’ backgrounds, knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy in PI care.MethodsThis study used a descriptive correlational design. During January and February 2021, the authors sent an online questionnaire to 117 nurses caring for patients with or at risk of PI at a tertiary level hospital in Kunming, Yunnan Province, China, to collect information regarding demographics, knowledge, attitude, self-efficacy, and perceived competence in PI care. Univariate and multiple regressions were performed to assess the associations.ResultsA total of 111 completed questionnaires were obtained, a response rate of 94.9%. Nurses reported inadequate knowledge and relatively low self-efficacy in PI care. However, they had positive attitudes and acceptable levels of perceived competence in PI care. According to a univariate analysis, being a wound specialist, having read PI-related articles or practice guideline within the past year, and having knowledge and self-efficacy in PI care were associated with nurses’ perceived competence.ConclusionsPressure injury-related knowledge, attitude, and self-efficacy are independently associated with nurses’ perception of their competency in PI care.
