CS analysis is a useful statistical method for improving the quality of a service in which a questionnaire is given to gauge people's level of satisfaction with it and then the results are analyzed. It enables areas for improvement to be pinpointed both objectively and specifically. In the present study, we administered a questionnaire on the comprehension of hospital training and achievement of its aims and subjected the results to CS analysis in order to pinpoint the areas for improvement in a model core training curriculum. As regards drug preparation, the results indicated that the area requiring most improvement in the comprehension and achievement of training aims was knowledge required to explain the preparation of cytotoxic drugs (rating of 12.50). In the training on injections and drug formulations, the ability to ensure that all items listed in an injection prescription were present was deemed to be the area requiring the most improvement (rating of 8.59), while with regard to drug control guidance, ability to explain warnings and adverse effects of drugs to patients was considered to require the most improvement (rating of 13.85) We felt that CS analysis had been used effectively to determine the areas requiring improvement in the model core training curriculum from the aspects of comprehension and achievement of its goals.
