METHODS: A 3-round modified Delphi process was conducted using a panel of 9 experts. Participants revised a definition for \"advocacy for the profession\" and ultimately rated their agreement using a 5-point Likert scale. Competency statements were developed and subsequently rated for importance for being an advocate and importance to address in PharmD curricula.
RESULTS: A consensus-derived definition was developed. Two competency statements achieved consensus for both measures of importance. Four competency statements achieved consensus for only 1 measure and another 4 did not reach consensus for either measure.
CONCLUSIONS: A consensus-derived definition was developed describing advocacy for the profession of pharmacy and began laying the groundwork for the knowledge and skills necessary to be an effective advocate for the profession of pharmacy.
方法:使用9名专家组成的小组进行了3轮改进的Delphi过程。参与者修改了“倡导职业”的定义,并最终使用5分李克特量表对他们的协议进行了评级。制定了能力声明,随后对其作为倡导者的重要性和在PharmD课程中解决的重要性进行了评级。
结果:建立了共识衍生的定义。两项能力声明就两项重要指标达成了共识。四个能力声明仅就一项措施达成共识,另外四个未就任何一项措施达成共识。
结论:制定了共识衍生的定义,描述了对药学专业的倡导,并开始为成为药学专业有效倡导者所必需的知识和技能奠定基础。
