“…In recent research, research experience prior to residency training strongly predicted subsequent practice research publication [14]. This report noted that practice research training for entry-level pharmacists would be important for them to conduct practice research.…”

Objectives: This study identified barriers to Japanese community pharmacists' active conduct or participation in practice research. Methods: Community pharmacists (n = 478) who gave presentations at three major pharmacy-related conferences in 2012 and 2013 were questioned about their difficulties of giving presentations, support for better presentations, and barriers to conducting pharmacy practice research in their practical setting. A questionnaire was mailed to and returned by the pharmacists directly. Results: We obtained 230 responses (47.9%). Presentation difficulties included pharmacists' time constraints and lack of experience organizing the report's results or discussion. Many thought statistical analysis support was necessary. The barriers were in sufficient time, community pharmacies' lack of research supervisors, and other community pharmacists' lack of understanding practice research's importance. These were comparable to pharmacists' barriers in other countries, except for money and funds. Conclusions: Japanese community pharmacists should clarify that practice research in their professional roles improves patients' outcomes. Barriers were similar to pharmacists in other countries. Publication of pharmacists' practice research results is important to expand their roles. Collaboration between faculties and pharmacists is a challenge for practice research development in the Japanese community setting.

“…25 In a survey of 27 former PGY1 residents from 2007–2013, self-reported research abilities after residency were rated as low and knowledge of statistical tests were moderate. 26 Among those respondents, only 11% published their residency project. However, 85% were involved in research in their current position and 48.2% published since residency.…”

Purpose The impact of resident research publication on early-career publication success was evaluated. Methods This study included a retrospective cohort of pharmacy residents’ abstracts presented at the Great Lakes Pharmacy Resident Conference (GLPRC). Published residency research projects at GLPRC were matched 1:1 to unpublished projects. Residents were followed forward for five years to identify early career publications (post-residency publication-positive) versus no publications (post-residency publication-negative). The following characteristics of post-residency publication-positive and publication-negative residents were compared; publication of residency project, university-affiliated residencies, median number and interquartile range of coinvestigators, presence or absence of a physician coinvestigators, highest nonphysician H-index of coinvestigators, and nonphysician H-index ≥ 1 for any coinvestigator (indicating that a coinvestigator has previously published and been cited). Results A total of 152 abstracts were reviewed (76 published and 76 unpublished projects). Using a predefined systematic search strategy, 55 former residents had a postresidency publication within 5 years after presenting their project at the GLPRC. Of the former residents who published their residency project, 38 (50%) were postresidency publication-positive, while 17 former residents (22.4%) who did not publish their residency research project were postresidency publication positive. Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that publication of the pharmacy resident research project and a university-affiliated residency program was positively associated with postresidency publication success. Conclusions Pharmacy residents who published their residency research project after its presentation at GLPRC were twice as likely to have a publication success within five years compared with residents who did not publish their residency project. A university-affiliated residency was associated with postresidency publication success within five year after project presentation.

“…Uniform standards have not been developed to ensure that minimal requirements are being provided to pharmacy residents within these programs. The importance of uniform standards is highlighted by the few studies that have attempted to objectively evaluate pharmacy residents’ research knowledge and abilities after the completion of pharmacy residency training programs 19-22…”

“…Studies show a resident’s research confidence and self-reported abilities may improve after completing a pharmacy residency, but his or her objective research knowledge and skills show little to no improvement 19-22. Billups and colleagues compared resident research knowledge, confidence, and attitude after completing a structured research program focused on research education and mentor support to a non-randomized national control group 21.…”

Objective:To explore influences of co-investigators on the successful publication of a pharmacy residency project.Methods:We analyzed published and non-published research presented at a regional pharmacy conference. Abstracts were matched 1:1 based on state and abstract year. We assessed university affiliation, number, degree, and H-Index of co-investigators on the abstract. Descriptive and inferential analyses were used to identify variables associated with resident publication.Results:University-affiliated programs (p=0.015), highest H-Index of a non-physician co-investigator (p=0.002), and positive H-Index (≥1) of a non-physician co-investigator (p=0.017) were significant predictors of resident publication on univariate analyses. There were no differences in the number of co-investigators (p=0.051), projects with physician co-investigators (p=1.000), or projects with Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) or Master of Science (MS) co-investigators (p=0.536) between published and non-published projects. Multivariate analysis found that the highest H-index of non-physician co-investigator remained significant as a predictor to resident publication (odds ratio (OR) 1.09, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 1.01-1.17).Conclusions:The quality of co-investigators, as measured by an increasing H-Index, is associated with the successful publication of residency projects. More emphasis may need to be placed on resident research co-investigator selection and training to prepare pharmacy residents for research and scholarly activity.

Impact of Pharmacy Residency Research Training on Residents’ Actual Versus Perceived Ability and Interest to Identify and Solve Practice-Related Problems

Abstract: New training mechanisms may be needed to optimize research training that will provide residents with greater emphasis on areas of perceived deficiency.
