“…", the largest number of respondents answered "1-3 h", which is by no means sufficient time for self-learning. Naturally, if they do not set goals, they will not know how many hours you need to study to reach their goals [29,30]. Then, regarding Q15, "Tools for continuing self-development", respondents answered "at home using books purchased by themselves and web searches", "study meeting of medical associations such as the Japanese Society of Hospital Pharmacists or Japan Pharmaceutical Association" and pharmaceutical companies' (wholesalers) study meetings.…”

Background: The role of healthcare professionals, including pharmacists, is changing. Lifelong learning and continuing professional development (CPD) are more critical than ever for both current and future pharmacists in the face of global health challenges and new technologies, services and therapies that are continually and rapidly introduced into their daily practice. Currently, Japanese pharmacists’ licences are not renewable, although most developed countries have a renewal system. Therefore, understanding Japanese pharmacists’ perceptions of CPD is the first step in reviewing undergraduate and postgraduate education. Methods: The target population was Japanese pharmacists, i.e., community pharmacy pharmacists and hospital pharmacists. The participants were administered a questionnaire with 18 items related to continuing professional development. Results: Our study found that regarding item “Q16 Do you think you need further education in your undergraduate education to continue your professional development?”, (a) the ability to identify one’s own problems and issues, (b) the ability to make plans to solve problems and issues, (c) the ability to carry out plans to solve problems and issues and (d) the ability to repeat steps of self-development, approximately 60% of pharmacists answered that these aspects were “necessary” or “quite necessary”. Conclusion: As part of universities’ responsibility for the lifelong education of pharmacists, it is necessary to systematically conduct teaching seminars or undergraduate education or postgraduate education on self-development while training pharmacists to meet the needs of citizens.

PurposeThis longitudinal study aimed to investigate the causal relationship between physical exercise and emotional states among university students, focusing on the mediating role of sense of coherence.MethodA total of 1,215 university students (aged 18–25 years) were recruited and completed questionnaires assessing physical activity (International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form), emotional states (Positive and Negative Affect Schedule), and sense of coherence (Sense of Coherence Scale-13) at three time points over a three-month period. Preliminary analyses included independent samples t-tests, chi-square tests, and Pearson correlations. Cross-lagged panel mediation analysis was conducted using Mplus 8.3, with bootstrapping employed to test indirect effects.ResultsResults indicated that sense of coherence significantly predicted positive affect (β = 0.259–0.369, p < 0.001). Positive affect, in turn, predicted physical exercise (β = 0.083–0.182, p < 0.05), while negative affect also influenced physical exercise (β = −0.096–0.203, p < 0.05). Physical exercise indirectly influenced positive affect through sense of coherence (β = 0.037, p = 0.045), and positive affect indirectly influenced physical exercise through sense of coherence (β = 0.029, p = 0.028). Other indirect effects involving physical exercise, sense of coherence, and negative affect were non-significant.ConclusionThis study underscores the importance of sense of coherence in promoting emotional well-being among university students and in the reciprocal relationship between physical exercise and positive emotional states. Findings suggest that interventions targeting sense of coherence may enhance the emotional benefits of physical exercise. Future research should explore other potential mediators and moderators of the relationship between physical exercise and emotions and examine the effectiveness of sense of coherence-based interventions on well-being in this population.
