| Summary: | Pharmacist must give drug information, counselling, and monitoring services in
community pharmacy
related to rational drug use as community request. Nowadays, there is
disparity
between everyday practices of performance of pharmacist on drug information,
counselling, and monitoring services in community pharmacy and the current
recommendation of practices of pharmaceutical care. Therefore, this gap will affect the
successfulness of pharmaceutical services. The objective of this study examined contributing
factors that affect pharmacist's performance on drug information, counselling, and
monitoring
services in community pharmacy.A cross-sectional study design utilizing
questionnaires measuring previously validated constructs was used to evaluate the effect of
these factors on pharmacist's performance in community pharmacy in Surabaya. The 80
pharmacist's manager had participated to fulfill the questionnaires in this study. Overall, 45%
of respondents reported that they likely had low performance in their professional activities
in delivering drug
information, counselling, and monitoring services. Statistically, leadership,
training,
and reward satisfaction, partially have a significant influence toward pharmacist's
performance (p<0.05).
And simultaneously these factors have a significant influence toward
pharmacist's performance (p<0.05). Overall, the dominant factor that affect pharmacist's
performance
on drug information, counselling, and monitoring services in community
pharmacy
is pharmacist's leadership (p<O. 05).The performance of pharmacist professional
activities in delivering drug information, counselling, and monitoring services was still low
and dominantly influenced by leadership factor. Therefore, pharmacist as "lonq life learner"
needs continuing education programs in order to advance their pharmaceutical care practices
especially on drug information, counselling, and monitoring services in community pharmacy |
