摘要

The aim of this study was to explore the effectiveness of individualized education by community pharmacists on cognition of community pharmaceutical care among Taoyuan residents. The content of community pharmaceutical care includes dispensing rights of the community pharmacy, safety of medication use, medication categories, and refills of prescription for chronic diseases. From March to July 2007, a total of 1219 Taoyuan residents participated in the study. The rate of correctness on pharmaceutical care was 84.2%, indicating that participants already had a basic concept on dispensing right, and safety of medication use. There was still some room for improvement in the cognition on medication categories, and refills of prescription for chronic diseases. The individualized education by community pharmacies took 10-15 minutes each. After education, significant improvement was seen with a 99.3% correct rate on pharmaceutical care (p＜.0001). The multiple linear regressions reveal that education and age were two significant factors associated with the improvement of the posttest score after health education. Participants were satisfied with the education, with an average of 3.89 on a scale from 1 to 4.
