Abstract:
:By providing injecting equipment to drug misusers, community pharmacists in the UK may become involved in preventing the spread of HIV via the intravenous route. Over 60% of pharmacy graduates from the School of Pharmacy enter community pharmacy and, as part of their undergraduate course, attend a series of lectures and seminars on HIV/AIDS and drug misuse. The aim of this research was to: (1) investigate students' attitudes to these subjects; (2) assess the students' knowledge of HIV/AIDS; (3) evaluate any change in level of knowledge or of attitude after attending the course; and (4) investigate students' attitudes towards the teaching of these subjects. A questionnaire was administered to students before and after their undergraduate course. The level of knowledge increased significantly after attending the course. Students were asked their opinion on the teaching of HIV/AIDS and drug misuse at the School of Pharmacy. After the course, significantly more responded 'good' or 'very good' with regard to teaching on social issues in drug misuse, rehabilitation and treatment of drug misusers, and health education on HIV/AIDS. There was no significant change in attitude, after the course. Attitude to HIV/AIDS and drug misuse was found to be unassociated with previous experience of working in pharmacies supplying injecting equipment and prescribed methadone. Both attitude and pre-course assessed knowledge were significantly associated with race and religion. These results indicate that attending the course had the effect of increasing knowledge of HIV/AIDS and increasing confidence in counselling clients. The perception of the teaching was also seen to be more positive.
