Physical Activity: A Systematic Review to Inform Nurse Recommendations During Treatment for Colorectal Cancer.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer in the world (American Cancer Society [ACS], 2021). Because of increasing survival rates, there is a need improve survivors' quality of life (QOL), physical functioning, recurrence risk, and comorbidity prevalence (ACS, 2020). Many patients with CRC have poor QOL during and after treatment; other common side effects include fatigue, depression, anxiety, and decreased sleep quality (Bourke et al.

Women as first authors in key pharmacy journals: Analysis by publication type.

Background: Numerous national and international studies have explored the issue of gender disparity in health science-publication rates. However, few have examined publication type (e.g.

Rural Community Perceptions and Interests in Pharmacogenomics.

Pharmacogenomics testing is a rapidly expanding field with increasing importance to individualized patient care. However, it remains unclear whether the general public in rural areas would be willing to engage in this service. The objective of this survey was to determine rural community-dwelling members' perceptions of pharmacogenomics.

Teaching motivational interviewing in a blended learning environment.

Background And Purpose: To describe the implementation of blended learning in teaching motivational interviewing (MI) to third-year pharmacy students and evaluate changes in MI knowledge by assessing students' abilities to recognize and formulate responses using MI skills after the training and, for a subset of students, one year later.

Educational Activity And Setting: The comMIt e-learning program was integrated into a third-year pharmacy communication course. Skills learned in the program were applied and assessed using e-learning quizzes, three in-class practice sessions and a 5-minute final assessment video.

HPV Knowledge and Education: Report on Vaccination Data From a National Health Trends Survey.

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection worldwide. Several government agencies are working to achieve the Healthy People 2020 goal of reaching 80% HPV vaccination rates for adolescent males and females in the United States.

Objectives: The aim of this article is to identify trends in the knowledge of the U.

Development of a Drug Information Service Collaborative in Academia.

Evidence-based medicine (EBM) has been positively accepted by clinicians; however, there are barriers to practicing EBM that create gaps between EBM and current clinical practice. A pharmacist-led drug information (DI) service initiative was established to overcome common barriers to practicing EBM. The service utilizes technology and a collaborative model among otherwise independent academic DI centers to provide efficient high-quality service to health care professionals.

Trends in women's authorship in pharmacy literature.

Objectives: The purpose of this evaluation was to determine whether the percentage of women as first authors in pharmacy journals has continued to increase over the past decade.

Methods: Key pharmacy practice journals were identified from the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy Core List of Journals for Pharmacy Education. Articles were analyzed from January 2007 through December 2017.

Survey of faculty workload and operational characteristics for academic drug information centers.

Introduction: A survey of drug information specialists from academic drug information centers in the United States was conducted to identify faculty workload, operational characteristics of the center, and contribution of those faculty and centers to pharmacy education.

Methods: A 32-item survey was administered to drug information specialists and pharmacy college/school deans. Faculty workload items included age, credentials, training, and responsibilities.
