Differential Attitudes Toward an Adult Education Program for Pharmacists

The research project measured post exposure attitude differentials toward a series of adult education programs for registered pharma cists. Four attitudinal scales were constructed for three specific factors of the pharmaceutical adult programs and one general criterion scale. Attending pharmacists were categorized according to their working environment and graduation date from pharmacy school. The quantified attitudinal measurements were subjected to an unequal cell, single factor analysis of variance. The analysis revealed that hospital pharmacists held more negative general attitudes toward the series of adult pharmacy programs than did community pharmacists. A similar analysis of variance revealed that the graduation date classification demonstrated no relation ship to the expressed attitudes of the attending pharmacists.
