Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To construct a double helix model for evaluating the job competency of licensed pharmacists in retail pharmacies, and to provide a reference for building a talented team of licensed pharmacists and promoting the high-quality development of pharmaceutical care. METHODS Based on the competency iceberg model and double helix structure theory, literature analysis and the Delphi method were adopted to explore the model indicators; questionnaires were designed to survey licensed pharmacists in retail pharmacies from Shandong Province. The exploratory factor analysis was used to correct the model indicators and establish a double helix model for evaluating the job competency of licensed pharmacists in retail pharmacies, which was examined by validation factor analysis. RESULTS The recovery rate of the questionnaires in the two rounds of expert consultation was greater than 90%, the expert authority coefficients were both more than 0.86, and the overall Kendall’s W values were 0.288 and 0.510, respectively; after the correction of the exploratory factor analysis, the double helix model for evaluating the job competency of licensed pharmacists in retail pharmacies was established, which contained 4 first-level indexes such as occupational literacy, occupational knowledge, occupational competency and internal motivation, and 23 second-level indexes. The model contained occupational knowledge and occupational competency in the explicit competency chain, occupational literacy and internal motivation in the implicit competency chain, and policy support, incentive mechanism, education and training as the hydrogen bonds connecting the two main chains. The validation factor analysis showed that the model’s goodness of fit index, comparative fit index, and normed fit index all exceeded 0.9; the reliability of the combination of the four first-level indexes ranged from 0.89 to 0.95; the average variance extracted ranged from 0.58 to 0.75, and Cronbach’s α coefficients for both the overall model and the first-level indicators were all greater than 0.84. CONCLUSIONS The constructed double helix model for evaluating the job competency of licensed pharmacists in retail pharmacies is scientific, reasonable and practical.
