dc.description.abstractSpecific Aims: To compare second and third year student pharmacists’ knowledge and confidence in managing diabetes and to identify an association between more confidence and accurate knowledge. Methods: Administered questionnaire to class-specific email lists associated with the University of Arizona College of Pharmacy to assess confidence and knowledge in diabetes management. Main Results: Six second year students and 18 third year students completed the survey. The median response to confidence in all questions was “somewhat,” which occurred 38.75% of the time whereas students selected “not” 8.54% of the time, “minimally” 28.13% of the time, and “very” 24.58% of the time. There was no significant difference between the classes in selecting confidence (p>0.05). Furthermore, with adjusting the questions for partial credit, the second year students correctly answered 62.92% question parts versus 67.64% question parts for third year students, which was also not significantly different (p>0.176). The most common association of confidence and accuracy was “Confident/Incorrect,” which occurred 45.42% of the time compared to the least common association, “Not Confident/Correct” (9.58%). Students were 9.3% more likely to indicate having confidence if they answered a question correctly. (Odds Ratio: 1.093; 95% Confidence Interval: 0.924,1.293.) Conclusions: There was no difference in reported confidence and tested knowledge between second and third year students. Confidence and accuracy were not found to be related, but this may be due to the difficulty of the questions.en_US
