本研究在評估對社區藥局藥師進行持續教育課程,是否能有效改變藥師有關之執業態度、增進GDP知識及改善執業之現況。於台北市藥師公會進行四次的持續教育共15小時,利用藥師自填問卷二次來評估比較。自90年11月10日至90年12月1日止,共有54位社區藥局藥師完成本研究。教育前GDP知識及執業態度得分均偏正向,但執業現況得分則是偏負向。在教育後執業態度得分由中位數為81分進步至84分。執業態度與執業現況在項目一與項目二均呈現相關(r=0.368,P=0.006;r=0.352,P=0.009)。經由課堂講授之持續教育的介入,藥師對藥事執業的正向認知與態度,並未影響其藥事執業現況,表現「態度很正向,行為很負向」充滿矛盾、知行不合一的現象。
The present study implanted a community pharmacy continuous education (CE) program at the infancy phase of pharmaceutical care in Taiwan. It also investigated the knowledge, attitude and practice in community pharmacy and assessed the difficulties of current practice . A 15-hour CE program was held by Taipei Pharmacists’ Association (TPA) during November to December 2001. A self-administered survey with 14 attitude questions in 7-point scale and 11 practice questions in 5-point scale was constructed based on the 4 dimensions of current Good Pharmacy Practice (GPP) draft. Another 10 dichotomous knowledge questions were based on the 2nd version of Good Dispensing Practice (GDP) . Total number of pharmacists surveyed was 54 . Before the program, median scores of knowledge and attitude exceeded the neutral points, but not that of practice. After intervention, the median of attitude scores slightly increased from 81 to 84. Spearman’s rho coefficient indicated a mild correlation between attitude and practice in dimension one (r=0.368, p=0.006) and dimension two (r=0.352, p=0.009). The results indicated that the positive knowledge and attitude did not result in a positive involvement in pharmacy practice.
