Outline of Final Research Achievements

pharmaceutical rotatio is carried out with objective of acquiring practical
skill. It is presumed that training in an environment different from university setting is giving various stress to pharmacy students. Chronic stress may lead to psychological and physical burden.
In this study we measured salivary amylase activity to assess stress level of students. We conducted survey of mental health among students who agreed to take part in this research. We were able to obtain result without difficulty. We did observe that there is variation in amylase activity level among participating pharmacy students. We also observed variation in amylase activity level in pharmacy students throughout the day. It is necessary to conduct further study to evaluate stress during student training further.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本調査結果から学生は臨床現場、指導薬剤師、患者さんなどに大学での講義・実習とは全く異なった環境である実務実習実務実習において少なからず不安を抱いており、この不安がストレスの要因となっている。すなわち、唾液アミラーゼ活性を指標として不安を数値化することと同義である。POMSなどと併用することで、学生のメンタルヘルスケアの一助となると考えられる。また、社会におけるストレスマネジメントへ応用することも可能であると思われた。
