[Objectives] Visually impaired is assumed that the taking medicine is difficult. This study aimed to elucidate the actual status of using drugs as part of medication assistance for people with acquired visual disabilities. [Method] We conducted a questionnaire survey of 14 people with acquired visual disabilities who use the Fukuoka Welfare Center for the Disabled. [Results] The mean age of the subjects was 70.2 years. The reading method “voice” was the highest at 12 cases. Thirteen people (93%) managed their medications by themselves. Among medication-related problems, 10 were associated with “vision.” Regarding efforts in using drugs, 6 cases the efforts involved using “vision.” People who always carry around the medication notebooks was two people (14%). Three people (21%) had a family pharmacy. Among requests and dissatisfaction concerning medication notebooks, 8 cases citing dissatisfaction had factors attributable to “pharmacy’s actions.” [Discussion] From the fact that voice in the reading methods are most often used, as a means of communication of information to the acquired visual disabilities, it is considered a method using the sound is suitable. In order to resolve medication difficulties, pharmacies need to make efforts according to the remaining ability of each individual.

We performed waiting time prediction using the data collected from prescription pick-up. A regression equation was used to predict waiting time. An explanatory variable was adopted as “a number of retention prescriptions at the time of acceptance”, “the variety of drug to dispense”and “the presence or absence of a particular task of time-consuming work in computing multiple medications into one package”. Using waiting time as an objective variable, three regression equations were formulated. Method ①: A single regression equation using the number of retention prescriptions with only one explanatory variable. Method ②: Multiple regression equation using factors such as number of prescriptions and variety of drugs to be dispensed as explanatory variables. Method ③: Multiple regression equation using number of prescriptions, variety of drugs and the presence or absence of particular tasks involved in the preparation of the prescription. Compared to the prediction of Method ①, the prediction of Method ② resulted in better accuracy. Compared to Method ①, Method ② resulted in better accuracy, and Method ③ resulted in even better accuracy than Method ②, as predicted.

We divided subjects into pharmacy students those would like to participate in volunteer activities and pharmacy students those would not like to participate in volunteer activities and compared survey item. The percentage of those who had, the necessity of volunteer activities, motivation for learning of volunteer activities, evaluation of pharmacy students’ volunteer activities, motivation for participation of volunteer activities after taking pharmacist license in the future, knowing pharmacy students’ volunteer activities in male students, among pharmacy students those would like to participate in volunteer activities was significantly higher than among pharmacy students those would not like to participate in volunteer activities.
