Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...

Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios

Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios

Pharmaceutical poisoning can occur through various channels, impacting an estimated 2 million hospitalized patients in the U.S. annually with serious adverse drug responses. These scenarios encompass both therapeutic uses, such as drug toxicity, where even standard dosages can lead to severe central nervous system depression, and non-therapeutic exposures, including accidental ingestion by children, and environmental and occupational exposures.Unintentional poisonings often involve exploratory...

Pharmaceutical Alternatives: Stability-Related Therapeutic Nonequivalence

Pharmaceutical Alternatives: Stability-Related Therapeutic Nonequivalence

Generic intravenous (IV) drugs are considered bioequivalent to their branded counterparts due to their 100% bioavailability upon administration. However, variations in stability among different drug products can significantly influence their therapeutic performance, even if they are pharmaceutically equivalent.Cefuroxime, a prophylactic antimicrobial, is often used as a single-dose IV injection for patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. A 3 g dose typically provides...

Pharmacovigilance

Pharmacovigilance

Post-marketing surveillance is a critical component of pharmaceutical regulation, often uncovering unanticipated adverse drug reactions (ADRs) once a drug is widely used over an extended period.
This process, termed pharmacovigilance, aims to detect, evaluate, and minimize harmful effects related to medication use. The data collection for pharmacovigilance depends on spontaneous reporting systems, where healthcare professionals or patients voluntarily report suspected ADRs.
In some cases, there...

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age

Age-related pharmacokinetic changes are extensively documented, but understanding age-related pharmacodynamic alterations is relatively limited. This knowledge gap can be partly attributed to the complexity of developing appropriate measures of drug responses compared to bioanalytical methods for determining drug concentrations.Most information regarding age-related differences in human pharmacodynamics originates from cross-sectional studies. However, these studies assume that observed mean...

Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Distribution

Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Distribution

Drug distribution in the human body is influenced by several factors, including plasma protein concentration, body composition, blood flow, tissue-protein concentration, and tissue fluid pH. Among these, changes in plasma protein concentration and body composition due to aging significantly affect how drugs are distributed within the body. Specifically, aging is associated with a decrease in albumin levels by about 10% and an increase in α1-acid glycoprotein levels. These alterations are not...

Summary

Pharmacy faculty turnover is influenced by workload, salary, and relationships. Developing organizational commitment through institutional support and satisfaction is key for retention.

Area of Science:

Pharmacy Education
Academic Medicine
Faculty Retention Studies

Background:

Faculty turnover poses challenges to academic institutions, impacting continuity and expertise.
Understanding the drivers of faculty intent to leave is crucial for developing effective retention strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

To identify primary reasons for pharmacy faculty intending to stay or leave their current institution.
To determine factors influencing past departures from academic positions.
To assess the impact of organizational and individual characteristics on turnover intentions.

Main Methods:

A survey was distributed to pharmacy faculty to gather reasons for current intentions and past departures.
Respondents provided data on quality of work life, demographics, and institutional factors.

Keywords:

employment faculty institutional support job turnover intentions

Regression analyses were used to model turnover intentions, with organizational commitment as a moderator.

Main Results:

Over 20% of pharmacy faculty expressed intentions to leave their current institution.
Key reasons for leaving included excessive workload, desire for new challenges, inadequate salary, and poor administrative relationships.
Department chair support and organizational commitment directly influenced turnover intentions.

Conclusions:

Institutional commitment is pivotal for pharmacy faculty retention.
Supportive environments, including strong department chair backing and satisfaction with the teaching milieu, foster commitment.
Addressing workload, compensation, and administrative relationships is essential for mitigating faculty turnover.
