Evaluating the awareness and experience with regard to clinical research and understanding the current challenges are important in promoting the engagement of hospital pharmacists in clinical research. Therefore, we conducted a questionnaire survey on 337 pharmacists working at 28 National Hospital Organization Kyushu Group facilities and 5 National Hansen's Sanatoriums, regarding their experience and awareness of clinical research. The survey was conducted via mail from June 2019 to July 2019. Overall, 335 (99.4%) questionnaires were collected, 280 (83.1%) of which were valid responses and could be analyzed. The survey showed that 48.2% of the responding pharmacists had delivered conference presentations and only 15.4% had published articles. The necessity for hospital pharmacists to plan and conduct clinical research was considered “necessary” or “slightly necessary” by 86.0% of the respondents; the most frequent reason was "for medical development." However, concerns about planning and conducting a clinical study were expressed by 94.6% of the pharmacists; “statistical analysis” was the most frequent issue. The results of this survey indicate that the majority of pharmacists are interested in clinical research; however, writing a dissertation was a difficult task for hospital pharmacists. Hence, we believe that it is important to include the topics of research planning and statistical analysis in the basic education of pharmacists.
