| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Compared with office-based pharmacists (control group), hospital pharmacists showed a higher prevalence of nasal symptoms, namely sneezing, nasal discharge, or nasal obstruction, after starting drug compounding practices. However, the prevalence rate of nasal symptoms among hospital pharmacists was lower than that among community pharmacists. Hospital pharmacists showed higher mental and physical loads, higher interpersonal stress, lower discretionary powers at work, and lower work and life satisfactions than the control group.
We measured the suspended particle concentrations in a hospital dispensary. The amounts of suspended particles in the dispensary were higher in some hospitals without dust collectors. Drug dust was also detected in dispensaries equipped with a dust collector. It is essential that the drug dust control system of individual dispensaries is properly managed.
