Objective: The clinical literature review is an important and required components in most of the US pharmacy school curriculum.  On the other hand, in Japan, pharmacy students usually read basic literature when research assignments are given.  However, in Japan, one is rarely taught how to critically read clinical literature in class.  Therefore, for the purpose of examining whether or not lectures regarding how to critically read clinical literature will affect collecting new drug information in pharmacy practice, we examined a survey which we circulated in both countries.  The survey asks pharmacists about reading clinical literature.Methods: One thousand nine hundred and ninety-seven pharmacists in Miyagi in Japan were given questionnaires by mail and 18,744 pharmacists in Florida in the US were given the URL of a web questionnaire by email.Results: Response rates in Miyagi and Florida were 30.3% and 0.91%, respectively.  Since the response in Florida was so small, statistical analysis was not performed.  Regarding the question of “Do you HABITUALLY read clinical literature ?,” “Yes” in Miyagi and Florida was 14.7% and 71.9%, respectively.  Regarding the question of “To what extent did you learn how to critically read clinical literature when you were a student-pharmacist ? ” (1: Not at all, 7: Yes), medians in Miyagi and Florida were “1” and “5,” respectively.  Regarding the question of “To what extent do you apply the information you obtain from clinical literature to your daily responsibilities ? ” (1: Not at all, 7: Yes), medians in Miyagi and Florida were “2” and “5,” respectively.Conclusions: We conclude that Japanese pharmacists in clinical practice do not sufficiently utilize drug information from new clinical literature because pharmacy education in Japan did not, until very recently at least, teach how to critically read clinical literature in class.

The purpose of this study is to understand the reading habits of Japanese pharmacists regarding clinical trial literature in 2014. Questionnaires were mailed to 1997 pharmacists in Miyagi Prefecture. Six hundreds and five [342 (56.5%) hospital pharmacists and 254 (42.0%) community pharmacists] responded to questionnaires (Response rate: 30.3%). Regarding the question, “Do you habitually read clinical trial literature?”, 19.5% of hospital and 8.3% community pharmacists responded “yes”, respectively, which showed both pharmacists are not habitual readers of clinical trial literature. That would be because they did not study critical reading of clinical trial literature at pharmacy schools as well as their work environments to access and retrieve clinical trial literature were limited.

The demand for pharmacy services has increased recently, and the skills required for pharmacists have also advanced. Therefore, it is important to implement a working system in which experienced pharmacists can continue working full-time when they require child care or nursing care. In September 2016, we conducted a survey of hospital pharmacists on their work-life balance at a symposium of the 26th annual meeting of the Japanese Society of Pharmaceutical Health Care and Sciences. The purpose of this survey was to examine the current trends and issues of hospital pharmacists’ experience of work-life balance in Japan. A total of 84 responses were included for analysis. Overall, 68.4% of pharmacists reported that they were not satisfied with their work-life balance, and 65.8% reported that they were not satisfied with their working environment. In addition, 90.4% of hospital pharmacists reported they worked overtime, and 76.3% reported that their workload level at their place of practice was high; therefore, they could not complete their duties within regular work hours. Seventy four percent of hospital pharmacists answered that they will not able to continue working if they encounter life events such as childbirth and caring for children or parents. These results show that a majority of hospital pharmacists was not satisfied with their work-life balance, and they were concerned about continuing their pharmacy career when they encountered certain life events. As such, it is critical that each work place implement policies on work-life balance to further help support their pharmacists.

薬剤師が保険薬局で処方監査を行う際、腎機能評価の指標として体表面積未補正eGFR(個別化eGFR)の使用が推奨されるが、後期高齢者に多いフレイル・サルコペニア症例では、推算クレアチニンクリアランス(推算CCr)を使用すると個別化eGFRよりも過大評価されにくく、予測精度が高くなることがあるという意見がある。しかし院外処方箋には体表面積補正eGFR(標準化eGFR)が記載されることが多く、また処方箋に検査値が全く記載されていない患者では腎機能評価に苦渋することが多い。そこで、後期高齢者の腎排泄型薬剤処方監査時に要注意患者を把握するため、体重・年齢の指標の算出を試みた。2019年3月~8月にあすかい病院の処方箋をすこやか薬局に持参した標準化eGFR:40 mL/min/1.73m2以上の後期高齢者の中で、あすかい病院の診療録調査により血清Cr値・体重が判明した1026名において、推算CCrが40 mL/min未満となる症例(男性42人、女性121人)の体重・年齢の指標をROC曲線を用いて算出したところ、男性51.9 kg以下・83歳以上、女性48.6 kg以下・84歳以上となった。他施設のeGFR:40 mL/min/1.73m2以上の症例にて検証したところ、体重・年齢非該当群の推算CCr(mean±SE(mL/min):男性57.0±2.4、女性66.5±5.4)はすべて40 mL/min以上となり、体重・年齢該当群(mean±SE(mL/min):男性43.9±4.4、女性39.5±3.9)より有意に高かった。よって、本研究で求めた体重・年齢の指標に該当する後期高齢者の推算CCrは40 mL/min未満となる可能性が高く、腎排泄型薬剤の投与量が適正でないと考えられる場合、腎機能が不明であっても疑義照会やトレーシングレポートの活用等何らかのアプローチを行う必要があると考える。

This article discusses pharmacy practice training in the US and Japan for the purpose of improving pharmacy practice training in Japan. The authors compare the Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience (APPE) in Nova Southeastern University (NSU) Doctor of Pharmacy program with the pharmacy practice training in Japan. The NSU APPE inhospital focuses on clinical practice training. It does not provide dispensing and drug distribution practice training, which are important as basic practice in Japan. On the other hand, there is no difference in the community pharmacy training between the NSU APPE and the pharmacy practice training in Japan.The article also examines students' limits in the NSU APPE and pharmacy practice training in Japan, classifying participation as (A) students performance without preceptors with post-performance approval by preceptors and (B) students performance under direct preceptor's supervision. There is no difference in hospital training between the NSU APPE and pharmacy practice training in Japan. However, there are significant limits on dispensing practice training in community pharmacies in Japan.
