title: [Consciousness research and analysis on the directive pharmacists who provide pre-education prior to clinical practice--an effort in the College of Pharmacy Nihon University].
abstract: For the purpose of providing a pre-education prior to clinical practice which can be reflected in clinical practices, we researched and analyzed the consciousness, requests, and etc, for pre-education prior to clinical practice of the directive pharmacists who work in a community hospital or pharmacy. We conducted questionnaire-survey which targeted for the directive pharmacists of the on-the-job trainees in the participating institutions (including 45 community hospitals and 179 community pharmacies) of the College of Pharmacy Nihon University. The average collection rate from each institution group was 55.9% (62.2% in community hospitals and 54.2% in community pharmacies). The answers for the degrees of expectations to the pre-education showed those responding as "promising" at 50.2%, "not-promising" at 6.3%, and "neither" at 43.5%, respectively. With the presence or absence of expectation as objective variable, we analyzed the relationship between the objective variable and respondent's attributes using the logistic regression analysis. The result demonstrated that those who worked in a community pharmacy and that had shorter teaching term and more superior post tended to have greater expectation. Also, when we performed a correspondence analysis for the images of the pre-education using the text-mining approach, we could confirm that each group member who had the manager posts in hospitals and in pharmacies had the same structure of consciousness. If we reflect the study results on the pre-education, we could establish the practical education system of the pre-education, which enable trainees to successfully advance into the on-the-job training.
