A survey was carried out to determine the role of the community pharmacist in self-medication by the public. This included provision of advice on the use of medicines and on general health matters. Medicine sales during one trading day were recorded in 57 pharmacies in the Wellington area. 58.6 percent of customer requests for medicine or advice resulted in the sale of a medicine without additional advice. The remaining 41.4 percent of contacts were accompanied by advice from a pharmacist whether a medicine sale was made or not. Of the total advised contacts, 7.8 percent resulted in referral to seek medical advice and 9.8 percent were for general health advice with no sale of a medicine. The results of the survey suggest an important role for the community pharmacist as an adviser in self-medication and in the screening of minor illness.
开展了一项调查，以确定社区药剂师在公众自我药疗中的作用。这包括提供有关药品使用和一般健康问题的建议。记录了惠灵顿地区57家药店一个营业日的药品销售情况。58.6%的顾客购药或咨询请求导致售出药品且未提供额外建议。其余41.4%的接触情况中，无论是否售出药品，药剂师都会提供建议。在所有得到建议的接触情况中，7.8%导致转介寻求医疗建议，9.8%是关于一般健康建议且未售出药品。调查结果表明，社区药剂师在自我药疗和轻症筛查方面可发挥重要的顾问作用。
