反兴奋剂活动在全球范围内开展。在这些活动的基础上，日本于2009年设立了“运动药剂师”专业，该专业需要对兴奋剂、补充剂的使用和运动员的适当药物使用有更深的理解。对于有资格成为运动药剂师的药学专业学生来说，兴奋剂教育是否足够还很难说。目前也不清楚这些学生对兴奋剂的理解有多深。因此，本研究的目的是调查药学专业学生对适当用药、服用兴奋剂和使用补充剂的知识现状，并探讨在这些问题上进行进一步教育的必要性。一项问卷调查于2014年7月3日至8月2日在日本昭和大学进行。共有406名受访者(2至6年级的学生)被评估为合格的。小组比较被用来比较那些听过兴奋剂讲座的人和那些没有听过兴奋剂讲座的人。大多数学生只知道兴奋剂这个词，没有听过关于这个主题的讲座，但72%的学生表达了去听的愿望。超过一半的人不知道日本最常见的兴奋剂违规行为是无意中的兴奋剂，也不熟悉过去的某些兴奋剂案例。此外，41%的人不知道非处方药和膳食补充剂可能含有违禁物质，87%的人不知道违禁物质的名称可能不会出现在膳食补充剂的成分标签上。相比之下，参加有关兴奋剂的讲座有效地促进了所有这些类型的知识的获得。重要的是，为药学学生提供更多关于兴奋剂问题的适当教育机会，因为人们对此很感兴趣，参加关于这一主题的讲座似乎是有用的。对药房学生进行更多关于兴奋剂的教育，对于反兴奋剂活动来说，将与对运动员的教育一样有效。
Anti-doping activities are carried out on a global scale. Based on these activities, the specialty of “sports pharmacist,” which entails a deeper comprehension of doping, use of supplements, and appropriate drug use for athletes, was established in 2009 in Japan. It is difficult to say whether the education on doping is adequate for pharmacy students who will be eligible to become sports pharmacists. It is also unclear how well these students understand doping. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate pharmacy students’ current knowledge of appropriate drug use, doping and use of supplements, and to explore the need for further education on these topics. A questionnaire survey was conducted from July 3rd to August 2nd in 2014 at Showa University in Japan. A total of 406 respondents (2nd- to 6th-year students) were assessed as eligible. Group comparison was used to compare those who had attended a lecture about doping and those who had not. Most of the students only knew the word doping and had not attended a lecture on the subject, but 72% of them expressed a desire to attend one. Over half did not know that the most common doping violation in Japan is unintentional doping, and were unfamiliar with certain past cases of doping. In addition, 41% did not know that over-the-counter medicines and dietary supplements might contain prohibited substances, and 87% were unaware that names of prohibited substances might not appear on the ingredient labels of dietary supplements. In contrast, attending a lecture on doping was effective in facilitating the acquisition of all these types of knowledge. It is important to provide more opportunities for appropriate education of pharmacy students on the topic of doping, given that interest exists and attending a lecture on the topic appears to be useful. More education about doping for pharmacy students would be as effective for anti-doping activities as is education of athletes.
