“…Our study population comprised 32% master’s degrees, 22% bachelor’s degrees, and 46% technicians (including others), while the national distribution is (by Des 2017) 25% master’s degrees, 19% bachelor’s degrees, and 56% pharmacy technicians (including others) [23]. Our demographic findings are comparable to those of other surveys among Norwegian pharmacy employees performed in different geographical areas [35, 36]. Considering this potential limitation, the study findings may be generalizable to pharmacy employees in other countries with similar health-care systems, pharmacies and education programs, particularly Swedish and Finnish pharmacies, which also employ bachelor pharmacists [37].…”

Background Community-dwelling persons with dementia commonly use dietary supplements (DS), often without receiving help with the administration. Patient safety is a concern, as DS-drug interactions and adverse events are potential complications. Since many persons with dementia buy their DS in pharmacies, we investigated Norwegian pharmacy employees’ attitudes and professional practice behaviors related to DS. Methods We conducted a survey in eight Norwegian municipalities of pharmacy employees involved in the sale of DS. The questionnaire covered demographics and investigated attitudes toward DS, professional practice behaviors related to the sale of DS, experiences with customers with dementia, and perceived and attributed responsibilities with regard to patient safety. Results One hundred and five employees responded (response rate: 52%). Most employees regarded general practitioners (GPs) as primarily responsible for safeguarding the use of DS by persons with dementia and rated themselves less responsible. Thirty-seven percent of the employees reported personal use of DS (past or current use). Nine percent considered some of the DS to have symptomatic or prophylactic effects against dementia. Forty-eight percent confirmed that they informed customers about potential adverse events; 42% indicated that they did this sometimes. Sixteen percent checked regularly for DS-drug interactions, and two-thirds checked depending on the customers’ health, the type of drug or the type of DS. One-quarter regularly asked about the co-use of prescription drugs (PD) when selling DS, while only 2% asked about the co-use of DS when dispensing PD. Only 25% reported access to independent scientific information on all or most DS sold in their pharmacy. Eight percent had experienced unsafe use of DS by persons with dementia. Six percent had been taught about counselling persons with dementia. Education level influenced professional practice behavior to some extent. Conclusion Pharmacy employees do not see themselves as primarily responsible for the safe use of DS by persons with dementia. Moreover, they have limited experience with the unsafe use of DS by these persons. There is potential for improvement regarding tools and educational interventions for pharmacy employees to provide sufficient help to persons with dementia who use DS.

“…Students reported variable confidence according to a number of clinical and student related factors. The highest level of confidence was reported for more commonly experienced consultations such as pain compared to rarer requests for medicine to aid sleep; similar findings were reported by Morken et al 30 Confidence in completing OTC consultations came mainly through real-life practice, and regular work in a community pharmacy was perceived to support students' OTC decision more than university training. Real life practice was perceived to be more effective than university training by pharmacy trainees who deemed university teaching as irrelevant, redundant and disconnected from real practice.…”

“…The interview guide was informed by a literature review, [10][11][12][13][14][15][30][31][32][33] including studies which used the CIT. [34][35][36] Three pilot interviews were conducted; minor amendments were made to the interview guide with the final form consisting of nine questions (Table 1) Semi-structured interviews were carried out in March and April 2017 by one researcher (TT), who received training on interview techniques, and email debriefs provided to the research team.…”

“…Although there is a great deal of data to support impact of patient and client self-efficacy on their own behavior, there is a paucity of research on impact of provider self-efficacy on end-point outcomes. Other researchers have also noted the importance of determining the relationship of provider self-efficacy to provider behavior and client/patient outcomes in other professions as well (Morken, Fossum, Horn, & Granas, 2008). Because of the importance of competent performance of counseling skill during students' education, their practica and internships are critical parts of their training.…”

This study investigated counselor self-efficacy and anxiety among psychology students at different levels of training. All participants, including undergraduate and graduate students, completed a set of questionnaires covering topics ranging from clinical experience to feelings encountered during counseling sessions (for example, anxiety and confidence). We compared students across various levels of training and computed a multivariate analysis of variance, with dependent variables measuring self-efficacy, self-esteem, life satisfaction, and general happiness. Results indicated curvilinear relationships across level of training for self-efficacy and anxiety about seeing clients. These findings, as well as possible theoretical underpinnings, have important implications for supervision and training.
