Surveys

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Drug Dissolution: Requirements and Profile Comparison

The acceptance criteria for dissolution profile data are anchored in Q values, representing the percentage of drug dissolved within a specified period. This assessment unfolds in three stages:First Stage: The test passes if all six drug dosage units are equal to or greater than Q plus 5%; otherwise, the sample proceeds to the second stage.Second Stage: The average of twelve units must be equal to or greater than Q, with no unit falling below Q - 15% to pass; if not, it progresses to the final...

Clinically Relevant Drug Product Specifications: Methods of Establishment

Clinically Relevant Drug Product Specifications: Methods of Establishment

Product specifications define the acceptable quality of a pharmaceutical product by ensuring identity, purity, potency, and strength. These specifications serve as benchmarks during development, manufacturing, and post-approval quality control. Clinically relevant specifications are particularly important because they directly relate to a drug's safety and efficacy in clinical use.Dissolution studies are critical biopharmaceutic tools that link in vitro behavior to in vivo performance. They...

Pharmacovigilance

Pharmacovigilance

Post-marketing surveillance is a critical component of pharmaceutical regulation, often uncovering unanticipated adverse drug reactions (ADRs) once a drug is widely used over an extended period.
This process, termed pharmacovigilance, aims to detect, evaluate, and minimize harmful effects related to medication use. The data collection for pharmacovigilance depends on spontaneous reporting systems, where healthcare professionals or patients voluntarily report suspected ADRs.
In some cases, there...

Dosage Regimens: Designs and Approaches

Dosage Regimens: Designs and Approaches

Designing a dosage regimen, which refers to the manner of drug administration, is a complex process involving the selection of drug dose, route, and frequency. This process is underpinned by pharmacokinetic parameters derived from tests and population averages. These parameters are then tailored to patient-specific variables such as diagnosis, demographics, and allergy status. Once therapy commences, therapeutic response monitoring is critical and achieved through clinical and physical...

Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios

Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios

Pharmaceutical poisoning can occur through various channels, impacting an estimated 2 million hospitalized patients in the U.S. annually with serious adverse drug responses. These scenarios encompass both therapeutic uses, such as drug toxicity, where even standard dosages can lead to severe central nervous system depression, and non-therapeutic exposures, including accidental ingestion by children, and environmental and occupational exposures.Unintentional poisonings often involve exploratory...

Area of Science:

Pharmacy Education Research
Survey Methodology
Academic Publishing

Background:

The American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education published survey research guidelines in 2008-2009.
These guidelines are currently reflected in the Journal's Author Instructions.
This paper addresses the applicability of these guidelines to survey research concerning pharmacy colleges and schools.

Purpose of the Study:

To discuss the relevance of existing survey research publication criteria for studies on US pharmacy colleges and schools.
To offer observations on conducting surveys within small, specific populations like US pharmacy institutions.
To express concern that stringent standards may discourage essential research in pharmacy education.

Main Methods:

Literature review of existing survey research guidelines.
Discussion and analysis of the application of these guidelines to pharmacy education surveys.
Qualitative observations on surveying small academic universes.

Main Results:

The relevance of current publication standards for pharmacy school surveys is discussed.
Considerations for surveying small academic populations, such as US pharmacy schools, are presented.
Potential barriers to research due to publication constraints are highlighted.

Conclusions:

Current publication standards need careful consideration for their impact on pharmacy education research.
Encouraging the dissemination of valuable survey data on US pharmacy schools is crucial.
A balance is needed to maintain research quality without stifling important investigations into pharmacy education.
