Pharmacy education comprises basic pharmacy (organic chemistry, biochemistry, and physical chemistry) and applied pharmacy (clinical pharmacy, pharm aceutics, and chemical hygiene). Students are expected to apply these subjects studied in pharmacy school during their practical pharmacy training. However, knowledge gained in university does not appear to be fully utilized in practice. We hypothesized that this is due to a lack of connection between pre-practical training education and actual practical training. Thus, we conducted a questionnaire study among pharmacy students to verify this hypothesis. We sent a questionnaire to 601 students in their sixth year of the pharmacy course at Chiba University, Teikyo University, or Kobe Pharmaceutical University who had undergone long-term practical training. The questionnaire asked about the utility of each subject of study and the reason for the judgement regarding the utility. Four hundred and forty-two students replied (response rate, 73.5%). A small proportion of students found the basic pharmacy subjects useful: physical chemistry, 5%; organic chemistry, 10%; and biochemistry, 24%. In contrast, more than half of the students found the clinical pharmacy subjects useful: pharmacology, 85%; pharmaceutics, 55%; pathophysiology, 75%; pharmacotherapeutics, 84%; and pharmaceutical regulations, 58%. Analysis of the comments left in the free-description section on the questionnaire revealed that most students did not have any opportunity to use their knowledge of the basic subjects during practical training, and furthermore, did not learn the processes involving the use of such subjects to solve clinical problems. Universities and pharmacists need to collaborate so that students can learn such processes.

In 2010, the in-hospital practical training period for pharmacy students was extended from 4 to 11 weeks. We have conducted questionnaire surveys of these students every year with the aim of reviewing the quality of training by conduction of surveys and evaluations. However, it was not clear whether reviewing based on the questionnaire results improved student satisfaction with the in-hospital practical training. Therefore, the aim of this study was to verify the validity of reviewing based on the questionnaire results by analyzing the data accumulated during the long-term practical training. A questionnaire survey was conducted of 333 5th-year students upon completion of practical training at Chiba University Hospital from 2010 to 2017. Students self-evaluated their attitude toward practical training on a 6-point scale and their satisfaction level for each component of the practical training on a 5-point scale. The students were also allowed to share their feelings about hospital pharmacy work. Repeated review of the training content can facilitate communication with patients, which was lacking at the beginning of the training period. Improved communication led to higher-quality pharmacy practice and increased student satisfaction. Meanwhile, changes to work procedures may reduce student satisfaction unless the training strategy is reviewed accordingly. Because the work of hospital pharmacists is constantly changing, it is considered that the content of the practical training should be revised accordingly through continuous conduction of surveys and evaluations, thereby enabling optimal practical training.

PreAVOID (“Prevent and avoid an adverse drug reaction”) is a pharmaceutical intervention that contributes to the improvement of drug safety and efficacy. It is considered important for pharmacists to spend time in the ward and carry out numerous PreAVOID interventions. At present, however, there have been no reports on the relationship between working hours of pharmacists in the ward and the number of PreAVOID interventions performed. Therefore, we investigated this relationship in Chiba University Hospital.The working hours of pharmacists in each ward gradually increased and were 13.5-38.3 h per week from April 2015 to March 2017. The number of PreAVOID interventions also increased from 630 in fiscal year 2015 to 1116 in fiscal year 2016. The number of interventions that prevented adverse drug reactions increased from 402 in fiscal year 2015 to 550 in fiscal year 2016. The number of interventions that improved drug efficacy increased from 188 in fiscal year 2015 to 508 in fiscal year 2016. The working hours of pharmacists in the ward showed a positive and statistically significant correlation with the number of PreAVOID interventions (r = 0.688, P < 0.001). Therefore, our findings indicate that longer working hours of pharmacists in the ward probably result in an improvement in the efficacy as well as safety of drug therapy in association with increased PreAVOID interventions. Thus, it is important to ensure that pharmacists spend sufficient time in the ward in order to contribute to the improvement of drug safety and efficacy through PreAVOID interventions.
