Drug information (DI) services is an essential resource for pharmacists to provide counseling to patients and guide appropriate medication use. We devised a DI practical training course that incorporated an inquiry-based practical training program and evaluated its effectiveness. A total of 91 fifth-year students in Pharmaceutical Sciences at Fukuoka University took part in the following DI sessions based on specific behavioral objectives (SBOs) for DI in the Model Core Curriculum for Practical Training: inquiry practice, simulated pharmacy and therapeutics committee, DI newsletter, use of emergency and safety information, off-label use in clinical trials, PRE-AVOID (Be prepared to avoid the adverse drug reactions), adverse drug reactions, and small group discussions about drug poisoning. The level of understanding of the SBOs for DI training was >4.2 for each item assessed, and the level of satisfaction for each practice was >3.9. This DI practical training successfully facilitated students' ability to provide DI. The number of students interested in DI services significantly increased (p<0.01). After the DI practical training, many students made statements such as "I realized that DI services is a very important job" and "I feel that pharmacists have much to contribute to DI services by evaluating the most appropriate information from a pharmacist's standpoint." It appears that students recognized the pharmacist's role and importance of DI services in clinical practice through the DI training. These results suggest that this DI practical training program was effective.
药物信息（DI）服务是药剂师为患者提供咨询并指导合理用药的重要资源。我们设计了一个DI实践培训课程，该课程纳入了基于探究的实践培训计划，并评估了其效果。福冈大学药学院的91名五年级学生参加了以下基于实践培训示范核心课程中DI的特定行为目标（SBO）的DI课程：探究实践、模拟药学与治疗学委员会、DI通讯、紧急和安全信息的使用、临床试验中的超说明书用药、PRE-AVOID（做好预防药物不良反应的准备）、药物不良反应以及关于药物中毒的小组讨论。对DI培训的SBO的理解水平在每项评估中均>4.2，每项实践的满意度均>3.9。这种DI实践培训成功地促进了学生提供DI的能力。对DI服务感兴趣的学生人数显著增加（p<0.01）。经过DI实践培训后，许多学生发表了诸如“我意识到DI服务是一项非常重要的工作”以及“我觉得药剂师通过从药剂师的角度评估最合适的信息，对DI服务有很大贡献”等言论。通过DI培训，学生似乎认识到了药剂师在临床实践中的角色以及DI服务的重要性。这些结果表明，这个DI实践培训计划是有效的。
