2.3 The statistics of score of rational application of
antimicrobial drug
In this survey, the average score of relevant knowledge of antimicrobial
drug of respondents was 10.49±4.05(the highest score: 20 scores, the
lowest score: 4 scores).
The answers of the investigated pharmacists were analyzed in this survey
in 7 aspects, including sex, degree of education, medical institution
type, professional title, working years, age and hospital grade, and the
conclusions were drawn: (1) There was no significant difference between
the score and the pharmacists’ sex. (2) There was significant difference
between the degree of education of the pharmacists and their
scores(P <0.05). The higher the degree of education of the
pharmacists was, the higher the score was. But there was no significant
difference of the score between the pharmacist with an undergraduate
degree and the pharmacist with a Master’s degree. (3) There was
significant difference among different types of medical institutions
(P <0.05). The pharmacists from general hospitals and specialized
hospitals overall scored higher than them from the TCM hospitals and
other medical institutions. (4) There was significant difference among
the pharmacists with different professional titles(P <0.05). From
the assistant pharmacist to deputy-chief pharmacist, the higher their
professional title was, the higher they scored. There was no significant
difference among the pharmacist-in-charge, deputy-chief pharmacist and
chief pharmacist. (5) There was significant difference among the
investigated pharmacists with different working years(P <0.05).
As a whole, the longer the pharmacists had worked, the higher they
scored. But the pharmacists having worked for over 30 years didn’t score
higher. (6) The pharmacists at different ages showed no significant
difference in scores. (7) There was significant difference between the
hospital grades and scores(P <0.05). The pharmacists from
tertiary hospitals scored higher than them from other medical
institutions. See Table 2 for details.
