3.2 Influence of educational background and professional title on knowledge level of antimicrobial drug
The education background and professional title of pharmacists would mainly affect their knowledge level of antimicrobial drug. The higher the education degree of pharmacists was, the better they master the knowledge of antimicrobial drug. This indicated that the highly-educated pharmacists had a more solid knowledge reserve and had a more accurate understanding of antimicrobial knowledge in all aspects, and they were also the main work force of the current pharmacist team.
The professional title also had an effect on the knowledge level of antimicrobial drug. Pharmacists lack of knowledge of antimicrobial drug might be related to less years of clinical work, less experience, and less mastery and application of knowledge. The pharmacist-in-charge had worked in the front line for a long time, so they had more opportunities to have access to relevant knowledge of theoretical knowledge and practical application of antimicrobial drug. Because the deputy-chief and chief pharmacists were mainly engaged in management work in the hospital, they applied the knowledge of antimicrobial drug use relatively less. Therefore, it required to strengthen the continuing education and training of pharmacists based on their positions, put what they had learned into practice, learn at work, and apply what they had learned to work.
