The purpose of this study was to clarify the subconsciousness of hospital pharmacists regarding them practicing drip infusion or blood drawing for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), etc. We conducted a mail-in survey targeting 476 randomly-selected hospital pharmacists. In our survey sheet we presented our``hypothetical condition'' i.e.,``that medical practices such as drip infusion or blood drawing for TDM by hospital pharmacists be legally allowed'' and we asked them 23 items about the pros and cons of this hypothetical condition and its in‰uence on medical practice. Then, using factor analysis, we searched for the subconsciousness of hospital pharmacists from their answers to the 23 items. We then analyzed the causal association between the factors extracted from the survey and the pros and cons of thè`h ypothetical condition'' using logistic regression analysis. 47.7％ of respondents agreed to the``hypothetical condition''. The results of this research provided 5 factors, consisting of``expectation of medical care and society'',``temperament of pharmacists'',``pharmacotherapy'',``employment'', and``medical team''. We understood from the result of logistic regression analysis that hospital pharmacists subconsciously had two kinds of expectation, i.e., expectation about medical care and society, and about qualitative improvement of pharmacotherapy, as their background when they decided to agree to themselves practicing drip infusion or blood drawing for TDM, etc.

Bedsides conventional bedside training the Department of Pharmacy of Kyushu University of Health and Welfare covers advanced practices focused on new procedures expected for future pharmacists. A questionnaire survey was conducted among the 4th year students of the 6-year curriculum of the department in order to retrospectively evaluate their attitudes toward basic life support, and the necessity and feasibility of items related to the training. Sixty-nine percent of the students responded that they would provide appropriate treatment under a situation where basic life support was needed. The item regarded as most necessary and feasible before training was``treatment for basic life supportcardiopulmonary resuscitation.'' After training, however,``checking vital signs,''``physical assessment,'' and``pharmacist's assistance in medication'' were the items rated as equal to or higher than``treatment for basic life supportcardiopulmonary resuscitation.'' The lowest ranked item in terms of necessity and feasibility both before and after training was``intramuscular/subcutaneous injection,'' followed by``intravenous injection'' and``normal intravenous collection of blood'' in that order. The results of this attitude survey demonstrated that many students were willing to perform such operations as part of checking vital signs and physical assessment.
