To examine work variables for licensed pharmacists for 1990, 2000, and 2004.
Three cross-sectional, descriptive studies.
United States.
Licensed pharmacists: 1,623 in 1990; 2,092 in 2000; and 1,564 in 2004. These numbers of usable responses to the three respective surveys represented 54.0%, 42.7%, and 33.8% of those receiving surveys.
Mailed survey from the 2004 National Pharmacist Workforce Survey; data from the national studies of the pharmacist workforce conducted in 1990 and 2000.
Characteristics of pharmacists; work setting, work position and age distribution of actively practicing pharmacists. Work status of licensed pharmacists; proportion actively practicing pharmacy. Proportion of pharmacists working part-time overall and by age group, weekly hours worked by actively practicing pharmacists, and full-time equivalents (FTEs) by age group. Proportion of pharmacists with secondary pharmacy employment; work setting, hours worked, and weeks worked in secondary pharmacy employment.
In each year studied, more than 86% of licensed pharmacists were actively practicing pharmacy. In 2004, the largest proportion of actively practicing women pharmacists was between the ages of 31 and 45, and the largest proportion of actively practicing men pharmacists was between the ages of 46 and 60. Across the survey years, the proportion of all actively practicing pharmacists working part-time increased, and the proportion of women working part-time was at least double that of men except in 2004. In 2004, the FTE contribution for women was 0.81 and 0.91 for men.
The decrease in FTE contributions by all pharmacists and the aging of the male pharmacist population raise concerns about the adequacy of current and future pharmacist supply. As the demand for pharmacists continues to evolve, pharmacy must continue to monitor the pharmacist workforce to show how pharmacists react to changes to better inform projections of the pharmacist workforce.
研究1990年、2000年和2004年执业药剂师的工作变量。
三项横断面描述性研究。
美国。
执业药剂师：1990年有1623人；2000年有2092人；2004年有1564人。这三项调查各自收到的有效回复数量分别占接受调查者的54.0%、42.7%和33.8%。
来自2004年全国药剂师劳动力调查的邮寄调查问卷；1990年和2000年进行的全国药剂师劳动力研究的数据。
药剂师的特征；在职药剂师的工作环境、工作岗位和年龄分布。执业药剂师的工作状态；积极从事药学工作的比例。总体及按年龄组划分的兼职药剂师比例、在职药剂师每周工作时长以及按年龄组划分的全职等效工时（FTE）。有第二份药学工作的药剂师比例；第二份药学工作的工作环境、工作时长和工作周数。
在各研究年份中，超过86%的执业药剂师积极从事药学工作。2004年，积极从业的女性药剂师比例最高的年龄区间为31至45岁，积极从业的男性药剂师比例最高的年龄区间为46至60岁。在整个调查年份中，所有积极从业的兼职药剂师比例有所增加，除2004年外，女性兼职比例至少是男性的两倍。2004年，女性的全职等效工时贡献为0.81，男性为0.91。
所有药剂师的全职等效工时贡献下降以及男性药剂师群体老龄化引发了对当前和未来药剂师供应充足性的担忧。随着对药剂师的需求不断演变，药学领域必须持续监测药剂师劳动力情况，以了解药剂师如何应对变化，从而更好地为药剂师劳动力预测提供信息。
