Survey of hospital pharmacists who have participated in continuing education workshops on vital signs and future problems / 医学教育

ABSTRACT

1) We performed a questionnaire survey on "vital signs check by pharmacists" for 120 hospital pharmacists who participated in a continuing education workshop about vital signs.2) Fifty-two percent (58 of 111) of pharmacists felt that vital signs checks were necessary in the workplace, and 77% (85 of 110) of pharmacists wanted to check vital signs.3) Eighty-six percent (95 of 110) of pharmacists thought that they should learn how to check vital signs, but only 10% (11 of 110) of pharmacists had been trained how to check vital signs. Therefore, pharmacists should be given many opportunities to learn how to check vital signs.
