We have developed a new tool for sharing information of patients undergoing outpatient cancer chemotherapy with community pharmacists. We created the Tracing Report (TR) based on CTCAE which suggests high risk adverse events according to the chemotherapy. In this study, we observe the changes in the information obtained from community pharmacists and the utilization of the information by hospital pharmacists due to the change from the conventional free- form TR to the CTCAE-form TR. The subject is 164 tracing reports received from community pharmacists between September 2018 and August 2020 at Toho University Medical Center Omori Hospital. We retrospectively investigated the patient background, the percentage of statements about the occurrence of adverse events, and the rate of physician adoption of prescription suggestions from community pharmacists. We also sent a questionnaire to the community pharmacists to evaluate the usefulness of the CTCAE Form TR. Of the 164 tracing reports received, 40 were free-form TR and 124 were CTCAE-form TR. The results showed that the report rate of adverse drug reactions was significantly higher for the CTCAE Form TR in all categories. Hospital pharmacists aggregate information from tracing reports and suggest supportive care to physicians, and the number of physician adoptions was significantly higher in the CTCAE Form TR than in the Free Form TR. 95 % of the community pharmacists rated the CTCAE Form TR as being easier to use than the conventional free-form TR. Information sharing using the CTCAE Form TR can contribute to safe outpatient cancer chemotherapy.

The association between the latent preliminary group of locomotive syndrome (LS) and handgrip strength was investi-gated among 96 women over age 40 years who attended health promotion events that were held 5 times between Sep. 2016 and Nov. 2019. The latent preliminary group of LS was evaluated based on three factors: bone mineral density, muscle mass and toe grip strength as an evaluation of the balance ability. The ratios of participants that declined in each factor were 82.3 % , 36.5 % and 26.0 % , respectively. There was a significant relationship between handgrip strength and bone mineral density, muscle mass and toe grip strength. Participants were divided into two groups based on the number of factors since it is accompanied by the functional decline of the plural locomotive organs for the onset of LS. Participants with zero or one factor were categorized as the “ non-pre-LS group ” . Participants with two or three factors were categorized as the “ latent pre-LS group ” . There was a significant difference between the median value of handgrip strength between the non-pre-LS group and the latent pre-LS group. ROC analysis indicated the cut-off value of handgrip strength corre-sponding to latent pre-LS was 26.0 kg, which was 6.13 as the odds ratio estimated by logistic regression analysis. The measurement of handgrip strength might be a convenient screening tool for latent pre-LS in the community pharmacy.

In recent years, pharmacists have shifted their approach from a non-personal to an interpersonal one, with communication skills becoming essential for their daily work. It is not clear how much high school students, at the age at which they have to plan their careers, are aware of pharmacists ʼ work. The purpose of this study was to clarify the perception of pharmacists among high school students and guardians, which may influence their career paths. In July 2020, an online survey involving 300 high school students and 300 guardians of the students was conducted to examine their perception of pharmacists. The survey included questions about the image of pharmacists (hospital and community pharmacists separately), their tasks, need for knowledge, importance of aptitude, and need for communication. Both high school students and guardians had low awareness of interpersonal work such as consultation other than medicine (46.0 % –52.0 % ), home visitation (30.7 % –44.0 % ), and multidisciplinary cooperation of community pharmacists (39.7 % –45.3 % ). Moreover, they did not consider that the job particularly required communication skills. It is suggested that pharmacists should make efforts to raise the awareness of high school students and guardians about the pharmacy profession and actively engage with patients, their families, and the community.

Pharmacists are intervening in home healthcare as part of the comprehensive community care system promoted by the government. However, medium-sized cities may not have the medical resources in the same forms as metropolitan areas. In this study, we conducted an interview with pharmacists involved in home medical care in Hikone City, Shiga Prefecture, and added qualitative analysis to clarify the current situation of pharmacists and specific issues in medium-sized medical areas. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with pharmacists involved in home healthcare in Hikone City, and results were analyzed using a modified grounded theory approach. Using data from 11 pharmacists collected from October to November 2020, 33 concepts and 12 categories were extracted, and a story line was generated. Lack of confidence among some pharmacists may have created a vicious cycle in which they feel hesitant to speak out regarding opportunities for collaboration, contrary to the general understanding that multi-professional collaboration is important. One of the factors troubling pharmacists was the absence of a place for mutual education among pharmacists; an environment in which they cannot casually ask questions about home operations keeps pharmacists away from home care. In addition, there are not as many imminent medical needs in medium-sized cities as in large cities, and pharmacies specializing in home care may not be viable. We insist that a response that does not follow the successful examples of urban cities, but that instead considers the unique nature of medical care in each region will help pharmacists ʼ work proceed smoothly.
