OBJECTIVES
To determine factors that influenced students' choice of pharmacy as a major and assess relationships between these factors and anticipatory socialization.
METHODS
Two hundred fifteen freshman and sophomore students enrolled in a 0-6 doctor of pharmacy program completed a survey instrument on which they rated 6 motivational factors in their decision to major in pharmacy and answered questions related to anticipatory socialization. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were used to answer the research questions posed.
RESULTS
Female students ranked desire to help others as a stronger motivating factor in their decision to pursue a career in pharmacy than did male students. Caucasian students rated providing more career opportunities and providing an entry-level doctorate as stronger motivating factors for pursuing pharmacy than did Asian students. Asian students had lower levels of anticipatory socialization than other students. Students with higher levels of motivation had higher levels of anticipatory socialization.
CONCLUSION
Results of this study provide further insight into effective recruiting strategies and recommendations for improved pharmacy education.
目的
确定影响学生选择药学专业的因素，并评估这些因素与预期社会化之间的关系。
方法
215名就读于0-6年制药学博士项目的大一和大二学生完成了一份调查问卷，他们对选择药学专业的6个动机因素进行评分，并回答了与预期社会化相关的问题。采用双变量和多变量分析来回答所提出的研究问题。
结果
在决定从事药学职业的过程中，女生将帮助他人的愿望列为比男生更强的动机因素。白人学生将提供更多职业机会和提供入门级博士学位列为比亚洲学生更强的从事药学专业的动机因素。亚洲学生的预期社会化水平低于其他学生。动机水平较高的学生预期社会化水平也较高。
结论
本研究结果为有效的招生策略和改进药学教育的建议提供了进一步的见解。
