Perceptions of Professional Behavior in a Midwestern College of Pharmacy Community: A Mixed-Methods Study.
Article in American journal of pharmaceutical education, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveProfessionalism is integral to pharmacy education and practice, but evolving societal dynamics, including generational differences and technological advancements, challenge traditional norms. This study aimed to explore perceptions of professionalism across generations and roles in a College of Pharmacy through behavioral scenarios and survey research.
methodsA prospective convergent parallel mixed methods study was conducted using an anonymous online survey, including quantitative (closed-ended) and qualitative (open-ended) questions. Participants from different age-based generations in a Midwestern College of Pharmacy, including students, staff, and faculty, evaluated 8 scenarios reflecting various aspects of professionalism.
resultsThe study included 134 participants, with a response rate of 19.1%. Findings revealed similarities by age-based generations in respect for academic hierarchy across all roles, but younger participants (including pharmacy and graduate students) more readily embraced multitasking and digital communication, despite recognizing them as unprofessional. Common barriers, such as time management and health emergencies, impacted professional commitments across generations. Participants faced challenges with cross-cultural collaboration, such as language barriers and a lack of cultural respect.
conclusionThe study highlights both similarities in some professional values and discordance in adapting to technology and cross-cultural challenges by age-based generations and roles. There is a need for cultural competence training and strategies to address modern challenges to ensure that future pharmacists can navigate a dynamic health care setting effectively.
