Background: Hospital pharmacy practice has emerged as a prerequisite to improving the health behaviors of patients given that adhering to this requirement enhances health care outcomes. Correspondingly, this study determined the factors that predict the aforementioned practice in Southern Vietnam.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from April to July 2019 in 35 hospitals located in Southern Vietnam. Multiple linear regression was performed to investigate the factors that predict hospital pharmacy practice (total score based on Basel Statement-driven evaluation). The factors were classified under managerial competency, work-related quality of life, and hospital characteristics (independent variables).
Results: The association between hospital pharmacy practice and the independent variables was determined through the following equation: total score in the Basel Statement-based assessment = –33.916 + 9.056 × strategic management + 7.326 × job and career satisfaction + 0.798 × number of hospital beds. No statistically significant associations were found between hospital pharmacy practice and hospital location, hospital level, type of hospital, age, gender, and other issues related to managerial competency and quality of work life.
Conclusion: The competence of pharmacy department heads in strategic management, the job and career satisfaction of hospital pharmacists, and the number of beds in hospitals were significant predictors of hospital pharmacy practice.
