Results: The most frequent types of self-reported errors is as follows: first, “the wrong quantity given”, second, “the wrong drug was given”, third “not fill”, fourth “a look alike or similar drug was given”。 The results indicate that 30.6% pharmacists with high effort/low reward imbalance measured by ERI model and the dispensing errors were significantly associated with work seniority, average frequency of looking up pharmaceutical information, the rule of placing the drug and psychosocial environment with effort reward imbalance.
Suggest: According to the above study, it would suggest: (1)the administrator should concern about the pharmacist with effort reward imbalance had elevated risks of poor performance.(2)the heads of pharmacy keep a closer tab on the younger less experienced pharmacists and be actively training these younger pharmacists to further their performance..
