Research must examine the nature of the work environment in order to achieve insight into the causes and effects of factors relevant to reducing job-related stress and improving the quality of work.
This study aims to describe the job stressors of hospital pharmacists and to explore their effects on hospital pharmacists' insomnia and work-related outcomes.
The study employed a cross-sectional, mailed survey. Structured questionnaires were distributed by postal mail to hospital pharmacists between February and April 2005. The individual hospital pharmacist is the unit of analysis. Descriptive analyses and structural equation modeling were performed on the survey responses from the 247 hospital pharmacists who responded.
The top ten stress burdens occur in the areas of dispensing, pharmacy management, and hospital rules. The study findings confirmed the proposed hypotheses: that a hospital pharmacist's job stressors are related to his or her insomnia, intention to reduce working hours, intention to change job content, and intention to quit employment. The study also found associations between hospital pharmacists' social supports, gender, age, and monthly income and their insomnia and work outcomes.
Hygienic job stressors based on Herzberg's two-factor motivation theory were examined in this study. These stressors were verified to be related to hospital pharmacists' insomnia and work outcomes. Hospital administrators could consider ways to improve the influences on hospital pharmacists' health.
研究必须考察工作环境的性质,以便深入了解与减轻工作相关压力和提高工作质量相关因素的原因和影响。
本研究旨在描述医院药师的工作压力源,并探讨其对医院药师失眠和工作相关结果的影响。
该研究采用了横断面、邮寄调查的方式。2005 年 2 月至 4 月期间,通过邮寄方式向医院药师发放了结构化问卷。以个体医院药师为分析单位。对 247 名回应调查的医院药师的调查回复进行了描述性分析和结构方程建模。
排名前十的压力负担出现在发药、药房管理和医院规定方面。研究结果证实了提出的假设:医院药师的工作压力源与其失眠、减少工作时间的意愿、改变工作内容的意愿和离职意愿有关。研究还发现,医院药师的社会支持、性别、年龄和月收入与他们的失眠和工作结果之间存在关联。
本研究检查了基于赫兹伯格双因素激励理论的卫生工作压力源。这些压力源被证实与医院药师的失眠和工作结果有关。医院管理人员可以考虑改善对医院药师健康的影响。
