The Factors related to Patient Consultation Time for Prescription and Non-Prescription Medications in Community Pharmacies

The effects of characteristics of community pharmacists on consultation time for prescription(RX) and non-prescription drugs(n-RX) were investigated. A cross-sectional descriptive design was established with a self-administered anonymous mail survey. Response rate was 52%. Significant pharmacists’ factors related to having less than 3-minutes consultation for RX were one’s dispensing duties exceeding 50%, low satisfaction with one’s own level of consultation, working at the pharmacies nearby clinics, or shorter duration of consultation time for n-RX. Consultation-promoting conditions should be built up for the provision of sufficient consultation.
