Objective: The purpose of the study was to analyze the difference in the importance and performance of the educational content ofthe community pharmacy practice and find the factors that influence it.
Methods: A 5-point Likert scale questionnaire asked aboutthe importance and performance of the pharmacy practice education items to community pharmacy preceptors, current students, andprofessors. Data were analyzed using Microsoft office 365 Excel and IBM SPSS 21.0.
Results: A total of 117 people participated. The averages of importance and performance were 4.34±0.34 and 3.71±0.45, respectively. Except for the computational entry ofprescriptions and medication history, the average score for the importance of all educational items was statistically significantlyhigher than the one for performance. Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) identified over-the-counter medication counseling,over-the-counter drug selection consultation, pharmacy management, adverse drug reaction monitoring, and understanding andimplementation of drug use evaluation as the items that needed focused effort. Borich’s needs were highest in the adverse drugreaction monitoring.
Conclusions: Overall, high importance and low performance indicate a need for improvement in communitypharmacy practice education. Since the demand for education was high in over-the-counter medication counseling, adverse drugreaction monitoring, and OTC drug selection consultation, various supports are urgently needed to strengthen pharmacy practiceeducation in this area in the future.
