Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

National Health Insurance Administration, Taiwan has provided a protocol for community pharmacist to offer home pharmaceutical care for the patients with high health expenditures. Since community pharmacists need to visit patients for consultation and check their medications, it has been thought to have pressure for them in various areas. This study intends to investigate the factors related to the pressure and intention for leaving this protocol. The hypothesis are that community pharmacist who works longer, has economic pressure, and longer year of practice will have higher pressure and strong intention for leaving.
