Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the prevalence of inadequate health literacy and its associated risk factors among patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and/or heart failure (HF) in Qatar. PATIENTS AND METHODS This cross-sectional observational study was conducted among patients with ACS and/or HF attending the national Heart Hospital in Qatar. Health literacy was assessed using the abbreviated version of the Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults (S-TOFHLA) and the Three-item Brief Health Literacy Screen (3-item BHLS). RESULTS Three hundred patients with ACS and/or HF, majority male (88%) and non-Qatari (94%), participated in the study. The median (IQR) age of the participants was 55 (11) years. The prevalence of inadequate to marginal health literacy ranged between 36% and 54%. There were statistically significant differences in health literacy level between patients based on their marital status (p=0.010), education (p≤0.001), ability to speak any of Arabic, English, Hindi, Urdu, Malayalam, or other languages (p-values ≤0.001 to 0.035), country of origin (p≤0.001), occupation (p≤0.001), and receiving information from a pharmacist (p=0.008), a physiotherapist (p≤0.001), or a nurse (p=0.004). CONCLUSION Inadequate health literacy is common among patients with ACS and/or HF. This study suggests a need for developing strategies to assist healthcare professionals in improving health literacy skills among patients with ACS and HF. A combination of interventions may be needed to improve patients' understanding of their disease and medications, and ultimately overall health outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Culture has been shown to inform patients' acceptance and use of complementary medicine (CM) treatment. It is unknown how a pharmacist or pharmacy student's culture may be associated with perceptions of CM relating to patient care. Gaining a better understanding of this concept within student populations may inform educational needs for programs situated within culturally diverse settings. The purpose of this study was to explore how pharmacy students' cultural beliefs influence perceived knowledge, confidence, and practice with respect to CM. EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITY AND SETTING A cross-sectional survey was distributed to all undergraduate pharmacy (professional years 1-4) and postgraduate doctor of pharmacy students. Results from the item "CM is an important aspect of my culture" were correlated with all other items using Spearman's correlation coefficient. FINDINGS Senior students who had completed a two-credit hour course appeared to be more confident in their practice skills relating to CM and showed positive correlations with culture and effectiveness of CM. Senior students acknowledged the importance of CM knowledge as a student and within pharmacy practice. Junior students showed a positive correlation with culture and past use. SUMMARY Pharmacy students in the Ccollege of pharmacy were positive towards the use of CM, with culture playing an important role. Students who perceived CM as an important aspect of their culture were more confident in their practice skills relating to CM. Future research is required to assess impact of students' cultural beliefs on practice.

Abstract
Facilitators are of paramount importance to the success of interprofessional education (IPE) activities; hence, it is crucial to explore their perspectives and experiences in delivering IPE in Qatar. Using an exploratory case study approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted, in 2018, among faculty members, who had facilitated at least one IPE activity in Qatar, from healthcare professional education programs at Qatar University Colleges of Pharmacy, Medicine, and Health Sciences, Weill Cornell Medicine in Qatar, the University of Calgary in Qatar, and the College of North Atlantic. Interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Inductive thematic content analysis was implemented. Twenty-one interviews were conducted with the following professions represented: medicine (n = 6), pharmacy (n = 5), nursing (n = 4), biomedical science (n = 3), respiratory theory (n = 2) and public health (n = 1). Four main themes emerged from the interviews: drivers to facilitator involvement that included interest and commitment to IPE and awareness of collaborative practice benefits; facilitator participation which was based on facilitator attributes and preparedness and readiness for IPE facilitation; the organizational support in terms of dedicated structure for IPE and IPE design and delivery and; student participation in terms of group dynamics and student engagement. Some key recommendations include having a dedicated unit for IPE, scheduling protected time for IPE, and organizing facilitators' training and debriefing workshops. The facilitators valued and appreciated IPE in preparing students for future collaborative practice. These findings can inform the development of quality and sustainable IPE activities in the future.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Incorporating evidence-based medicine skills into practice is vital for pharmacists to promote rational medication use while making optimal patient care decisions. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of an evidence-based medicine course on the knowledge and precepting skills of community pharmacy preceptors. METHODS This was a longitudinal, multiphase, interventional study, which involved the development of an evidence-based medicine course based on results of an educational assessment. The course was delivered over five sessions and included didactic and active learning strategies. The impact was measured by the preceptor's ability to apply knowledge gained from the course while providing student feedback during a community practice experience using a journal club context. RESULTS Ten preceptors completed the course with 50% and 70% passing the drug information and critical appraisal assessments, respectively. When measuring course impact, 44% of preceptors were able to provide feedback at a proficient level while 56% needed further development. Preceptors' confidence improved across pre-course, post-course, and after the observation phase in interpreting study results (p = 0.016), teaching the student evidence-based medicine skills (p = 0.008), and providing feedback to the student regarding journal clubs (p = 0.010). Students rated high improvement in the preceptor's ability to provide feedback related to critical appraisal skills. CONCLUSION A course-based approach to increase preceptor's knowledge of critical appraisal and drug information skills may be effective.

Abstract
Evaluation of pre-licensure students' competency in team-based decision-making is lacking. The purposes of this study were to evaluate pre-licensure pharmacy students' competency in team-based decision-making in the context of an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE), and to determine whether performance correlated with reflective assignment scores. Students' self-assessment and conceptualization of team-based decision-making in practice was also evaluated. Twenty-three pre-licensure pharmacy students' competency in team-based decision-making was evaluated in an OSCE station and with a reflective journal assignment; rubric scores for both evaluations were compared using Spearman's rank order analysis. Students completed an 18-item questionnaire regarding attitudes, confidence, and perceptions related to team-based decision-making. Descriptive statistics and construct analysis with open coding were used to analyse questionnaire results. Mean OSCE station and reflective journal scores were 45% and 66.3%, respectively, and were not correlated. Students' attitudes toward team-based decision-making were positive, and they reported performing associated behaviours during experiential education rotations. Students appropriately defined 'team-based decision-making' and were highly confident in performing related activities. However, students' conceptualization of team-based decision-making did not align with the pharmacy program's competency framework. Three key themes were identified through the study analyses: 1) student performance is dependent on assessment context when evaluating collaborator-related competencies; 2) there is a mismatch between students' perceived competency and objectively measured competence when collaborator outcomes were assessed within an OSCE; and 3) students' perceptions of team-based decision-making do not align with the program's competency framework. Future research is necessary to assess competency and perceptions of team-based decision-making in students from other healthcare professions, and to further evaluate whether pre-licensure students are "collaborative practice ready".

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mental health has not had the same public profile as physical health. This has contributed to the stigma associated with mental illness and to its treatments. Research investigating how the traditions and values amongst those with an Arab heritage contribute to stigmatizing beliefs, attitudes or actions in the provision of mental healthcare has not been widely reported. AIM To systematically review the literature and summarize the findings of studies reporting stigmatizing beliefs, actions and attitudes toward treatment of people with mental illness in the Arab population. METHODS PubMed, Ovid, Psycharticles and Embase were used to identify original studies of non-institutionalized Arab adults or children reporting findings relevant to stigma toward mental illness. A manual search of the bibliography of all selected original studies was also undertaken. Independent data extraction was performed by two reviewers, who then met to compare data and reach consensus. Findings were classified as stigmatizing beliefs, actions or attitudes toward mental health treatments. RESULTS A total of 33 articles were retrieved for full review. Those utilizing qualitative methodology provided insight into the many ways mental illness is viewed and defined among those with an Arab heritage. Among the studies using quantitative methodology, most compared stigmatizing beliefs, attitudes toward mental health treatments or stigmatizing actions among different Arab populations, some also investigated correlations between characteristics of the Arab population tested with stigmatizing beliefs, actions and attitudes toward mental health treatments. Findings from studies undertaken in Qatar reported greater stigmatizing beliefs, actions or attitudes toward mental health treatments among Qatari versus non-Qatari Arabs. CONCLUSION A large diversity in the stigmatizing beliefs, actions and attitudes toward treatment of mental illness within the Arab population were identified. The influence of cultural variations on stigma should be explored further and used to tailor anti-stigma interventions in this population.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Accreditation necessitates that assessment methods reflect the standards established by the accrediting body. The process of adapting assessments to a new context can present unique challenges with uncertainty around psychometric defensibility of the adapted exam. METHODS A psychometric analysis of a summative multiple-choice-question (MCQ) assessment, adapted from Canada, for graduating pharmacy students from a Canadian accredited program in Qatar was conducted. Rates of difficult items, item discrimination measured by point biserial correlation (rpb), and non-functioning distractors (NFDs) were calculated to identify deficiencies and challenges with an adapted exam. Challenges encountered throughout the adaption process and recommendations were documented. RESULTS Overall score of a 90-item, four option, MCQ exam ranged from 46.7% to 78.9% (mean of 61.9%). For difficulty, there were 17 items with less than 30% of students answering correctly, while 29 items had unacceptable or poor discrimination (rpb < 0.1). NFDs occurred in 78 items with 49 containing at least two NFDs. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS Difficulty of the exam was deemed acceptable yet discriminator ability requires improvement. The high frequency of questions with NFDs suggests that faculty have difficulty developing plausible distractors for an adapted MCQ exam. This could be due to a lack of training or requirement for inclusion of too many distractor options. While it is feasible to implement an assessment adapted from a different learning environment, measures need to be taken to improve psychometric defensibility. The high number of questions with NFDs indicates that the current method of exam development does not encourage the incorporation of functional distractors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Assess the reliability of first year pharmacy student assessments completed by faculty members in comparison with a standardized patient (SP), and student self-assessments during a structured educational module on communication. EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITY AND SETTING Pharmacy students completed four stations focused on communication with an SP. During each encounter, students completed a self-assessment and were evaluated by a faculty member and a trained SP. A five point Likert scale was used to evaluate student performance. Faculty assessments were compared against all others. A Pearson correlation coefficient for total scores was used and a Cohen's kappa was used to compare inter-rater reliability. Agreement and correlation was performed with student results categorized into poor, adequate, and exceptional performance based on faculty evaluation. FINDINGS Twenty-four students participated. In all stations, student self-assessments were graded higher than corresponding faculty and SP assessments. Agreement between faculty, SP, and self-assessment was fair to slight (k < 0.4) for all comparisons but only significant (p < 0.05) between the faculty and self-assessment. After categorization, there was a small, non-significant correlation between faculty and self-assessment (r = 0.13, p = 0.21) and moderate and significant correlation between faculty and SP (r = 0.32, p = 0.001). Categorized inter-rater agreement was fair for all comparisons (k < 0.2) and only significant (p < 0.05) between faculty and SP assessment. DISCUSSION Pharmacy students in their first professional year assess their communication skills more positively than other evaluators. Further instruction for students and reflection may be required to build understanding of global assessment in communication. SUMMARY There is high incongruity between student self-assessment and faculty appraisal.

Abstract
The clinical effectiveness and value of camel milk as a therapeutic agent is currently unclear. MEDLINE (1946 to March 2016), EMBASE (1974 to March 2016), and Google Scholar were searched using the following terms: milk, bodily secretions, camels, camelus, camelini, camelidae, dromedary, bactrian camel, body fluid, and bodily secretions. Articles identified were reviewed if the study was investigating the use of camel milk for the potential treatment of diseases affecting humans. Of 430 studies, 24 were included after assessment. Identified studies highlighted treatment with camel milk of diseases, including diabetes, autism, cancer, various infections, heavy metal toxicity, colitis, and alcohol-induced toxicity. Although most studies using both the human and animal model do show a clinical benefit with an intervention and camel milk, limitations of these studies must be taken into consideration before widespread use. Based on the evidence, camel milk should not replace standard therapies for any indication in humans.
