ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:
To describe an active-learning laboratory on urinary incontinence (UI) and its effect on students' confidence and comfort in addressing UI. EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITY ANDSETTING:
Second year pharmacy students (n = 98) participated in an active-learning laboratory focused on UI with four components catheter lecture and demonstration, UI product overview, hands-on practice with UI absorbent products, and a debrief on the activity focused on difficult conversations. Students completed an optional retrospective pre-post survey at the end of the laboratory including five confidence questions, ranking of activities in the laboratory, and open-ended responses on how to change the activity as well as what was one takeaway from the debrief. Descriptive statistics assessed survey responses. Changes in student confidence were assessed using paired t-tests. Thematic analysis was used for the open-ended debrief question.FINDINGS:
Of the 101 students who participated in the laboratory, 98 students completed the pre/post-survey (response rate 97%). Students demonstrated a significant increase in their confidence in all five areas assessed. The hands-on activity with the absorbent products was rated as the most useful activity. The themes from the debrief on difficult conversations included self-awareness, expanding viewpoints, cultural sensitivity, and professional duty. Student feedback on the UI active-learning laboratory was largely positive, with most students suggesting no changes (n = 75) to the activity.SUMMARY:
An active-learning laboratory on UI helped improve confidence and was well received by pharmacy students.Palabras clave
