| Beschreibung: | In order to achieve a higher vaccination rate, pharmacy-based vaccination against influenza for people aged 18 years and older and against SARS-CoV-2 for people aged 12 years and older was included in the Infection Protection Act as standard care in pharmacies in May 2022. This follows a pilot project launched in 2020 and the inclusion of pharmacies in the government's vaccination concept during the coronavirus pandemic in 2021. Globally, the inclusion of pharmacies in vaccination efforts has resulted in higher vaccination rates among the population, as well as increased awareness and willingness to vaccinate. In Germany, however, vaccination training is not part of the pharmacy curriculum, which has led to criticism from the medical profession that pharmacists are not qualified to administer vaccinations and are not adequately prepared, especially to handle emergency situations potentially arising after the vaccination process. For this reason, the practicing pharmacists currently have to obtain an additional qualification by attending a physician-led training course.
In this dissertation, a special vaccination course for pharmacy students was developed and evaluated in two studies. The innovative high-fidelity simulation was used to simulate emergency scenarios. The high-fidelity simulation offers the highest level of realism. It is a life-size mannequin that is controlled by a software to change various vital parameters such as blood pressure, pulse and the respiratory rate. The first study, a randomized clinical trial, compared the developed high-fidelity simulation-based vaccination training course with the standard training similar to the regular pharmacist training in a pre-post design. The intervention group received the high-fidelity simulation training and the control group received the standard training. Participants' performance was assessed before and after the training using objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs). The participants' self-assessment was also obtained using a questionnaire. The results showed that both groups achieved higher scores in performance after the training, but the intervention group was better than the control group. In addition, both groups reported that they felt sufficiently prepared to provide vaccinations in the pharmacy after the training. Secondly, to assess the acceptability and feasibility of the developed vaccination course, the high-fidelity simulation training was conducted at three other universities including universities of Bonn, Greifswald, and Düsseldorf. Pharmacy students’ self-assessment and satisfaction were assessed using questionnaires before and after the training. The participants at all three universities indicated in their self-assessment that the high-fidelity based vaccination training course made them feel more competent and that they were satisfied with it. The high-fidelity simulation proves to be an effective and attractive training tool for pharmacy students' education on pharmacy-based vaccination. The vaccination training using high-fidelity simulation developed in this dissertation strongly supports the integration of vaccination training into the pharmacy curriculum and the use of simulation techniques for clinical skills training. | |||||||
