Statwing software was used in the statistical analysis of the data. Results: A total of 93 valid questionnaires in the study were taken back. Although one hospital has achieved great progress in pharmacy trusteeship, most of respondents had negative attitudes and the common thought was that pharmacy trusteeship did more harm than good to the development of clinical pharmacy at present.
