The status of supportive personnel in state pharmacy statutes and regulations and the attitudes toward supportive personnel of state pharmacy organizational representatives were studied. The board of pharmacy, pharmacy association, and hospital pharmacists' society of each state and the District of Columbia were surveyed by mail to determine legislative or regulatory control of supportive personnel and the attitudes towards the use of supportive personnel. Overall, 84% of the questionnaires were completed. In 21 states and the District of Columbia, nonpharmacist personnel were not mentioned in pharmacy laws or regulations. In the other 29 states, nonpharmacist personnel were allowed. Laws in 20 of these states specified ratios of technicians-to-pharmacists, usually 1:1. The term "supportive personnel" was most frequently used in these regulations. However, "pharmacy technician" was the term most frequently suggested as most appropriate by the respondents. Requirements for education and certification of supportive personnel are not common at this time. Hospital pharmacists' societies unanimously supported the use of technicians; slightly over half the boards of pharmacy and pharmacy associations did so. There is little uniformity currently in statutes or regulations concerning pharmacy supportive personnel.
研究了州药房法规中支持人员的状况以及州药房组织代表对支持人员的态度。通过邮件对每个州以及哥伦比亚特区的药房委员会、药房协会和医院药剂师协会进行了调查，以确定对支持人员的立法或监管控制以及对使用支持人员的态度。总体而言，84%的问卷被完成。在21个州和哥伦比亚特区，药房法律或法规中未提及非药剂师人员。在其他29个州，允许使用非药剂师人员。其中20个州的法律规定了技术人员与药剂师的比例，通常为1:1。“支持人员”一词在这些法规中使用最为频繁。然而，“药房技术员”是受访者最常认为最合适的术语。目前，对支持人员的教育和认证要求并不常见。医院药剂师协会一致支持使用技术员；略超过半数的药房委员会和药房协会也支持。目前，关于药房支持人员的法规几乎没有统一性。
