Abstract

Background　Since the Clinical Trials Act came into effect in 2018 in Japan investigators have had to adhere to strict guidelines in order to ensure the quality and reliability of clinical research. With this in mind, we conducted a series of seminars in numerous clinical departments at the University of Miyazaki Hospital, from July to December 2019 to inform investigators of information pertinent to conducting clinical research. To clarify the efficacy and otherwise further improve the seminar, we collected questionnaire responses from participants. Methods　We visited 15 clinical departments at University of Miyazaki Hospital to hold a series of seminars on conducting intervention studies or specific clinical trials. The seminars were divided into two parts, one covering important points for conducting clinical research appropriately and the second concerning quality control for clinical research. Responses to a questionnaire were collected from participants after the seminar. Results　We visited 15 clinical departments a total of 22 times. According to the questionnaire, 96％ of respondents“understood or largely understood”the seminar, and 98％ found it “useful or largely useful”. However, 70％ also found it“difficult or rather difficult”. Conclusions　 These findings suggest that our seminar“by visitation”had a high degree of understanding and usability among participants. However, many participants regarded as difficult, we should continue to think of ways to improve our seminar.（Jpn Pharmacol Ther 2022；50 suppl 1：s62‒66）
