摘要

背景：社区药学实践在责任范围和工作环境方面发生了重大变化，尤其是在 COVID-19 大流行期间。这些趋势可能会影响学生药剂师对社区药学实践及其未来职业机会的看法：确定学生药剂师目前对社区药学实践的看法：在 2023 年 3 月至 4 月期间，我们向约 2200 名学生药剂师发放了一份包含 15 个项目的横截面电子问卷。受访者必须是药学专业的在校学生。问卷包括职业兴趣、对社区药学实践 12 个不同方面的看法以及人口统计学等项目。数据主要采用描述性统计进行分析。先验分层包括根据年级和工作经验水平对从事社区药学工作的兴趣：共收到 146 份回复（回复率为 6.6%）。共有 101 名（69.2%）受访者为女性，108 名（74.0%）为白人，平均年龄为 24 岁。受访者代表了所有四个药学专业年级，113 位（77.4%）受访者表示目前或以前有社区药学工作经验。大多数受访者对毕业后直接从事社区药学工作不感兴趣 77 人（52.7%），也不将其作为长期职业 87 人（59.6%）。学生药剂师认为社区药学实践最吸引人的方面是工资/福利、工作的可获得性和安全性、与药房同事的互动、与其他医疗专业人员的互动、与患者的关系和互动以及教学责任。学生药剂师认为工作时间和日程安排、业务管理责任、与保险相关的任务以及工作环境的节奏不令人满意：结论：学生药剂师对从事社区药学实践兴趣不大。学生药剂师认为，最大限度地减少阻碍因素并增强社区药房的吸引力，可能有助于改善招聘和留住人才，并改善对药房实践的看法。

Student pharmacist perceptions toward community pharmacy practice

Background

Community pharmacy practice has incurred significant changes in scope of responsibility and workplace environment, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. The trends may impact how student pharmacists perceive community pharmacy practice and their future career opportunities.

Objective

To determine current perceptions that student pharmacists have toward community pharmacy practice.

Methods

A 15-item electronic, cross-sectional questionnaire was distributed to approximately 2200 student pharmacists from March to April 2023. To be included, respondents needed to be a current adult pharmacy student. The questionnaire included items about career interests, perceptions towards 12 different aspects of community pharmacy practice, and demographics. Data were analyzed primarily using descriptive statistics. A priori stratifications included interest to pursue community pharmacy according to class year and according to level of work experience.

Results

A total of 146 responses were included (response rate 6.6%). A total of 101 (69.2%) respondents were women, 108 (74.0%) were white, and the mean age was 24 years. Respondents represented all 4 pharmacy professional years, and 113 (77.4%) respondents reported current or previous work experience in community pharmacy. Most respondents were not interested in pursuing community pharmacy directly after graduation 77 (52.7%), nor as a long-term career 87 (59.6%). Student pharmacists found the most appealing aspects of community pharmacy practice to be salary/benefits, job availability and security, interactions with coworkers in the pharmacy, interactions with other medical professionals, relationships and interactions with patients, and teaching responsibilities. Student pharmacists found the work hours and schedule, business management responsibilities, navigating insurance-related tasks, and the pace of the work environment to be unappealing.

Conclusions

Student pharmacists report a low interest in pursuing community pharmacy practice. Minimizing deterrents and enhancing the appealing aspects of community pharmacy as perceived by student pharmacists may help improve recruitment and retainment, as well as improve perceptions of the practice.
