Pharmaceutical Students' Experiences in Frailty Prevention Activities within Local Communities

Abstract

We organized salon activities in Kudoyama-cho, Wakayama Prefecture, that engaged pharmacy students in community health support activities. The project aimed to explore current health support initiatives and the potential contributions of the students to local communities. During the activities, the students engaged with participants through exercises, dances, and games. We found that students' participation enhanced interactions in the salon through their creative approaches. A system enabling pharmaceutical students to be continuously involved in the salon should be established through collaborations between universities and local governments.
