| description | The research history of community pharmacists in Japan is short, and ethical responses may not be mature. Therefore, the Japan Pharmaceutical Association and universities are working on research ethics education to help pharmacists make appropriate ethical responses. In this study, we evaluated whether an educational program using participatory learning was effective in research ethics education for pharmacists. Regarding the educational effects of our workshop, the score for motivation to learn about research ethics was high, and that for judgment and applied skills related to research ethics was low. Overall, participants’ assessment of the program contents was extremely favorable, indicating their satisfaction. Participatory learning was widely accepted and suggested to be effective in improving learning motivation. Additionally, to be able to apply the knowledge of research ethics to own research, it was considered necessary to continue learning through participatory learning. This will help pharmacists gain judgment and applied skills related to research ethics. |
