| Abstract;At present, not only psychotherapeutic hospitals but also general hospitals and pharmacies are involved in the treatment of outpatients with psychiatric problems. Because of this, it is important for pharmacy students to experience the pharmaceutical care of psychotic patients during their hospital practical training. However, many psychotherapeutic hospitals are not suitable for training because the number of pharmacists is less than in general hospitals and there is insufficient equipment. To study these problems, we sent out a questionnaire regarding practical training to the pharmacists of 95 psychotherapeutic hospitals in Fukuoka Prefecture. The twenty-two hospitals responding that it would be possible to provide practical training had 1.6 full-time pharmacists per 100 beds who provided pharmaceutical care to 44% of their inpatients. The pharmacists of 16 of these hospitals wanted such training be limited to dispensing and pharmaceutical care and the period to 1 or 2 weeks at maximum. It seemed that in many psychotherapeutic hospitals, there would be fewer opportunities for administering injections and providing drug information to outpatients and doctors than in general hospitals. Also, very few students would be able to learn about drug therapy for inpatients undergoing surgery in psychotherapeutic hospitals. In view of the increasing importance of pharmacists knowing about the pharmaceutical care of psychotic patients, it is considered that the grouping together of psychotherapeutic and general hospitals would be useful as a means of providing practical training opportunities for undergraduate students in their pharmacy departments.
