The goal for this study was to use data from the most recently conducted National Pharmacist Workforce Survey to compare eight components of quality of work life for actively practicing pharmacists in the United States categorized by (1) work activity and (2) work setting. The eight components of quality of work life were: (1) time stress; (2) responsibility stress; (3) level of control; (4) work in harmony with home life; (5) home life in harmony with work; (6) job satisfaction; (7) professional commitment; and (8) organizational commitment. Data for this study were obtained from the 2014 National Pharmacist Workforce Survey. For inclusion in analysis, respondents needed to report that they were practicing as a pharmacist. In addition, they needed to provide usable responses for both their percent time devoted to medication providing and to patient care services. This resulted in a total of 1191 responses for the analysis. Data were analyzed using cluster analysis, factor analysis, Cronbach coefficient alpha, chi-square analysis, ANOVA, and linear regression. The findings provide a description of pharmacists’ quality of work life in 2014 and show how type of work, variety of work, and work setting categories are associated with quality of work life for pharmacists.
本研究的目的是利用最近开展的全国药剂师劳动力调查的数据，比较美国在职药剂师工作生活质量的八个组成部分，这些组成部分按（1）工作活动和（2）工作环境进行分类。工作生活质量的八个组成部分为：（1）时间压力；（2）责任压力；（3）控制水平；（4）工作与家庭生活的协调；（5）家庭生活与工作的协调；（6）工作满意度；（7）职业承诺；以及（8）组织承诺。本研究的数据来自2014年全国药剂师劳动力调查。为纳入分析，受访者需报告他们正在从事药剂师工作。此外，他们需要就用于提供药物和患者护理服务的时间百分比提供可用的答复。这导致共有1191份答复用于分析。数据采用聚类分析、因子分析、克朗巴哈系数α、卡方分析、方差分析和线性回归进行分析。研究结果描述了2014年药剂师的工作生活质量，并显示了工作类型、工作多样性和工作环境类别与药剂师工作生活质量之间的关联。
